I don’t know if any still exist, but you used to be able to find Berklee, Northeastern, etc. students playing in basements in Allston. They’re basically artsy kid frat parties though so idk if they’d be good after college

definitely still a lot that exist but 1. the music is pretty homogenized at this point and 2. ur exactly right about the frat party thing. sometimes even high schoolers roll up too lol

Boston is permanently atrocious re: nightlife and/or coolness in almost every way, *but* DJ Kon — an incredible globe-trotting talent in the disco/house/edits zone, also of the legendary beat-digging duo Kon & Amir — lives there, *and* he plays out occasionally (in fact he's playing @ Middlesex tonight in Central Square). So my recommendation would be to meet the friends/fans of Kon and maybe they will clue you into some more underground parties, *if* they exist (they probably don't because Boston sucks!!... but you might as well try).

Untitled is probably Boston‘s best underground DJ series- always finding cool and archaic places to spin, always packing basements and warehouses, always creating beautiful nights. guaranteed to make a close friend

Just kidding, totally different vibes, good luck though. In terms of aboveground venues maybe start with @6amgroup techno listings and try to dig one or two levels down from there.

Don’t let the doctors and intermittent fasters tell you otherwise. Food is energy and it makes you strong and helps you concentrate and be happy. Don’t let that blood sugar dip down. Hold the line.

I buy government I-bonds. The official government website is a bit clunky, but not terribly complicated. You don’t have to pay state income tax on the interest.

I have one of those microwave popcorn poppers and buy stupid seasonings to put on my corn. Trader Joe’s ranch seasoning is my latest go-to flavor. I like the tang.
Nutritional yeast is a staple topping. Za‘atar too. Anything truffle-y if you wanna get fancy. TJ’s mushroom seasoning blend is mostly just salt though: an anti-recommend on that one
