Anyone have any recommendations for a dermatologist or an esthetician that is knowledgeable about Black skin, especially for people/women over 45?

Thanks in advance!

Hello kind folks!

Im a fairly recent boston transplant in the city, im looking for road biking groups that rides regularly/irregularly on the weekends!

Im by no means a pro rider, but I'm just looking to sweat-it-out and meet some new/fun people along the way !

Any leads would be helpful, and if any group wants to adopt a new rider, please, me!

For context: 27M, just finished my PhD and moved to the bay for work

She’s not taking it well

I wanna walk around the late then get some food? Any good spots open today on the 4th?!

Are bars open this evening for the 4th of July?

AC Transit implemented the second phase of a 25-cent fare adjustment Wednesday. Riders will now pay $2.75 for local single-ride fares using Clipper or contactless payment and $3 with cash, increased from $2.50 and $2.75, respectively. 

The completion of the adjustment marks the first time the transit district has increased fares since 2019. The first phase of the fare adjustment took place in July 2025 and saw the local adult cash fare increase from $2.50 to $2.75, as well as the Transbay cash fare increase from $6 to $6.50. 

While AC Transit could potentially cut $53 million from its operating budget if the passage of a transportation sales tax fails in November, the fare hikes are unrelated. According to AC Transit’s spokesperson Robert Lyles, the adjustments were approved before the COVID-19 pandemic, but their implementation was paused to ease the financial burden on riders.

I've been in oak for a few years but haven't really took the time to branch out and meet some of people. I would love to find my 'clique' out here.

What are some fun places to meet people on a random Friday night? It could be board games, pickup sports, even minigolf lol.

I've been looking online and bars seem to be the main attraction? Dont mind drink or two but thats just not my speed
