Paul Revere is mostly known for his midnight ride — his horseback journey in 1775 to warn Massachusetts militiamen that the British were coming. @gbhnews contends that the activist and artisan’s real legacy is in his political cartoons, in particular, “The Bloody Massacre,” a 1770 work that showed a group of colonists being fired upon by red-coated soldiers. “He really played a hand in … shaping public understanding of events,” says Boston Public Library curator Jay Moschella.

Oh hey, its @knizer again - Every weekend I scour a bunch of sources and put together a list of interesting #Boston area events. I live in #Somerville #Massachusetts, but include anything that looks incredible in #NewEngland thats worth the trip.

I tag my thread with #BostonWeekend - if there's an exciting event on your radar, let me know - there's always so much to do, I'm just one human curating this as a passion project. I do this to help build #community here on the #fediverse, no ads, no donations, no bribes to get something listed - I'm going to keep doing this til I burn out (its a couple hours of committed focus every week).

If you dig this, great - tell me about whats exciting you! Wanna collab? Just say hi? Send me a picture of the event you went to because of my posts?

Boosts and likes are appreciated to get the message out, but the best thing to do is talk about how awesome your social media feed is with people who aren't already on the fedi - tell your friends and people running events that you found out about a show on #mastodon.

Have a great time out there, fedi-friend!
