Red Line Extension to Mattapan

The Mattapan High Speed Line is old and difficult to maintain. MBTA is currently looking at future options on how to maintain transit service along that corridor. As far as I know, there are 4 options: Do nothing, and continue to maintain the PCCs. Replace with a modern light rail vehicle. ...

The Colorful Language of Flowers in Mexico: Exploring the Significance of Red Blossoms

In Mexico, the language of flowers carries a profound cultural significance, and the color red, often associated with passion and love, takes on a more complex meaning.

In Pursuit of Red Avadavats

Red Avadavats fascinated me. Their beautiful images seen in the annals of social media mesmerized me.

A first look at my Muslim science-fiction novel, “Red Ummah”

They called us heretics for no better reason than seeking a new home. But why should we suffer in silence amongst unbroken urban squalor when the vast, pristine void beckoned? So we traded our lab coats for overalls and built a craft our own design. As the massive ship began to grow skyward, prying ...

Incel Red Zone — The Tipping Point of the Involuntary Celibate

A single word made my skin crawl. A few days ago, I was waiting in line at Starbucks for my mocha-choca-la-ta-ya-ya and as I often do, eavesdropping on the conversations around me. There were a couple of moms talking about baby something or other. A businessman on his phone gabbing about ‘the ...

On the Regulation of Gender, Sexuality, and Individual Liberty in Red States

You didn’t want to know anything more about Matt Walsh’s sophomoric prank masquerading as a documentary,¹ What is a Woman? But I read the book² by the same title over the holiday break and, as a transgender woman, I thought this might be as good a time as any to have ...

First Red Root Chakra: Color Red

Yes, we’ll get to the First Red Root Chakra, but first, let’s talk about color. The usual assumption in life is that when I say the word red as a descriptor, the person to whom I am speaking knows what red is. If we were both looking at the image above, we would both know. I...

Red Flag Laws save lives — but the Supreme Court could soon take them away.

Last November, students at a local public university were beginning to worry about their roommate.

Red Flag Laws Consolidate DeSantis’ Power

The interpretation of law in a white supremacist environment is never clarified. It remains murky, allowing the government to step in and mitigate. In America, such power of interpretation is utilized in the government against black Americans. For judges that mean harsher sentencing because judge&rs...

It’s Time: Change “Republican” Color from Red to Confederate Gray

Here’s something to think about: Is the party that still calls itself “Republican” more aligned with the beliefs of Communists or of Confederates? The time has come to change the standardized color designations of the major American political parties. The prevailing colors are a...

The Red Road

I recently re-traveled the back roads of William Least Heat-Moon’s 1978 travel account, Blue Highways. I read the book when it was released, but this time I listened to the audiobook which is how I prefer to experience books when I am on the road or walking my own backroads and woods. ...

Red Clay Rising

For years, my feet have taken me to Red Clay State Park, near Cleveland, Tennessee. This land was once the last seat of Cherokee government, and also the place where, in 1838, the Cherokee people learned that the Treaty had again been broken, their remaining land would be taken, and they would ...

Sex and the Single Red Alga!

Red Alders: Forest Succession and the Weed Tree that Makes it Possible

We had an arborist out to our house recently, because a hemlock tree nearly 80 feet tall and not a dozen feet from our house was clearly in the process of dying. Dead and dying trees are, of course, a critical part of forest ecosystems, both as habitat and providers of nutrients, but those dozen fee...

An Ode to Rapturous Red

I love writing about ancient Greece and Rome, and their fashion is no exception. Interestingly, our association of the color red with love and passion is very ancient indeed.
