I am looking for a room in a shared house or apartment as an interim place where I could stay for at least two months. Ideally I would have the option of staying for up to six months, but I could do without that. I'd like it to be located within 15 minutes walk of a subway line (not counting the Green Line beyond Kenmore), or a high frequency bus line such as #1 or #77, or #71, #73 or #66. The point is it should not be so hard to get to Cambridge or Downtown Boston that it dissuades me from going. There should not be a cat (unless hypoallergenic), or a dog that jumps up excitedly on people (unless quite small), or a digital listening device such as Echo, Siri or "Hello Google", or a card lock that records who opens the door. I will ask about cameras. I'd like there to be a large supermarket in walking distance or close to a nearby subway station. If you know of an opening, please email me at rms on the site gnu org with "Interim housing" as the subject. tender embraces

It's like - y' don't need office space at MIT to lead an OSS org.

I was like "oh he's just annoying but largely harmless free software diogenes trash hobo" until I found out several years ago that starting in the 80s women [who were actually employed by MIT unlike stallman] put plants in their offices to prevent persistent sexual harassment
