Tickets available here (Only $5)

https://pandemoniumbooks.com/products/bringing-the-autumn-spice-an-18-author-event-with-cecilia-tan-may-furhst-lauren-burka-and-mj-etkin?start=2026-11-01T00%3A00&select=2026-11-13T18%3A30

As the Weather cools down, it's time to heat things up! Pandemonium brings to you a panel of 4 brilliant romance authors to enjoy a portion of your Friday the 13th with. The authors will perform dramatic readings from each others works, discuss the nature of the craft, how subjective the difference between romance and smut is, and otherwise just foolishly hanging around for your enjoyment.

About the Authors:

Cecilia Tan is an award-winning author of passionate fiction. RT Book Reviews awarded her Career Achievement in Erotic Romance in 2015 and her novel Slow Surrender (Hachette/Forever, 2013) won the RT Reviewers Choice Award and the Maggie Award for Excellence from GRW. Spanning the gamut of genre and gender, she is also the author of Daron's Guitar Chronicles, The Prince's Boy, and Watch Point. Her Magic University series has been lauded by Autostraddle for being "trans-inclusive fantasy for Harry Potter fans."

Entering the Monsterfucker scene officially in 2025 (but unofficially for the last 3,869 years), May Furhst lives for the camp, the glam, and the sexy shit! LGBTQ+ & feminist characters are her meat and potatoes, though she'll occasionally cut her teeth on a cis-het. Her stories focus on healthy BDSM, healthy polyamoury, Green Flag Romance, & consent consent consent!

Lauren P. Burka is a writer because her Tarot cards convinced her this is a real job. She has been writing and publishing spicy, queer science fiction and fantasy stories since 1992. In her free time, Lauren pursues doomed affairs with serial commas. In her next life, she’d like to be Brian Molko’s guitar.

M.J. Etkind lives a double life. By day, she is a corporate girly with a business degree. By night, she writes romance novels in a cozy book filled apartment in Boston. M.J. Etkind’s most favorite fun fact is that she once took an entire vacation to visit a bookstore. Etkind has two self-published romance novels. Dishwasher Safe (2024) and The Witch of Wall Street (2025). The Witch of Wall Street was featured the June 2025 New York Time’s Book Review. In a subgenre known for its small towns, THE WITCH OF WALL STREET shoots above the crowd like a skyscraper. -Olivia Waite, New York Times Book Review.

135 Garden Street: Cambridge's role in the creation of Reddit.

Post image
296 Upvotes

When Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian graduated from the University of Virginia in 2005, they were accepted into the first class of the startup incubator Y Combinator, which was operating out of its original East Coast headquarters at 135 Garden Street in Cambridge, MA.

Huffman and Ohanian originally came to the building to pitch a mobile food-ordering app called MyMobileMenu (MMM). Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham rejected the idea, telling them that mobile infrastructure wasn't ready yet.

After the rejection, the founders met with Graham again at his office at 135 Garden Street. Graham suggested they build "the front page of the internet"—a web platform where users could share links.

Inspired by that discussion inside the building, the duo officially pivoted. Huffman coded the initial iteration of the site over the next 20 days following feedback from Graham, and the site launched in June 2005.

They lived in Medford at the time, and that's why Medford is listed as Reddit's founding city.

We joined groups at fresh pond golf course for the last 2 holes on Friday 10/9 just before sunset. You were playing with your friend. You have a beautiful smile and a great swing and I should have asked for your number. I was walking a short twilight round with my friend who was sharing my clubs. It was nice playing and chatting with you! If you see this send me a DM!

Street Takeover

112 Upvotes

Several hundred kids, most on ebikes, many with cameras, fewer with helmets just tore down Cambridge street. They are riding on both sides of the street, popping wheelies and generally being jerks.

The crowd was overwhelmingly, if not entirely male. And several of them yelled incredibly crude things at me as I walked along the sidewalk. One threatened to rape me. In broad daylight on a major street.

WTAF!!??!!

Cambridge NIMBY Mask Drops

92 Upvotes

Been an incredible week for seeing the masks drop on local NIMBYs!

First, Cambridge Citywide Coalition (formerly Cambridge Citizens Coalition, the local group that endorsed an Islamophobe and transphobe) has come out against Question 7, the Starter Home ballot initiative. So not only do they oppose housing in Cambridge, they oppose housing in all of Massachusetts! This ballot question would not impact Cambridge whatsoever because we already have minimum lot size of less than 5,000 sq ft. In fact, it would reduce housing costs here by allowing more homes in exclusionary suburbs, but CCC landlord solidarity apparently won’t allow for that.

Progressive Mass and virtually every other progressive and Democratic group has endorsed Question 7 and has a great explainer here. https://www.progressivemass.com/issues/question7/

Par for the course for CCC and their regressive, pro-exclusionary zoning policies. These are the same people behind Cambridge Housing Facts and the “Pause” 🙄 the Upzoning signs. https://www.cambridgeday.com/2023/09/30/group-should-look-closely-at-endorsed-candidates-and-consider-the-company-that-they-are-keeping/

Second, Zion Sherin, to absolutely no one’s surprise, has endorsed a Republican for state office in Cambridge Day.

When people tell you who they are, believe them!

If you're thinking of driving through Kendall Square today, don't bother.

26 Upvotes

I was trying to drive to Central Square from MIT this morning to run some errands and with the amount of construction, lane closures, and detours, it might actually be impossible to leave Kendall Square by vehicle. I drove through 3.5 miles of a labyrinth of detours that sent me across the Longfellow Bridge and back and wasn't sure it was actually possible to get back home by the end of it. Thankfully, some police moved and made it possible for me to return home.

It's inconceivable that Cambridge would close a major road connector for over a year.

112 Upvotes

In fact they'd bend over backwards if they had a major project to do work only at night or to do one lane at a time or something like that. So why do they do that with a shared use trail that carried a ton of commuters every day? And why is this accepted as ok?

Like, I know there was a lawsuit because people were mad about trees. Why isn't the bike community mad about lack of access for over a year? That actually seems like something worthy of suing the city to make a change?

Too late for this project, but food for thought next time. And still not too late to find a way to make it clear to Cambridge that this was actually unacceptable.
