It’s okay when they do it, but it’s a problem if we do it? They have every excuse for themselves and every opinion about us. Keep that same energy when the roles reverse. Don’t get sensitive now. You were perfectly fine with it when it was your turn.

“Thomas Brady, of Norwood, will spend 20 months in prison -- he's scheduled to start serving that sentence in January.

In federal court Monday, Brady apologized to his wife and family for his actions. He did not address the victims of his actions.

🎃 NORWOOD PARENTS: CHECK BEFORE YOU TRICK-OR-TREAT 🎃
📍 Norwood, MA 02062

Before planning your family’s Halloween route, check the Massachusetts S*x Offender Registry Board’s official website for publicly available information about registered s*x offenders in Norwood.

Use verified information to make informed decisions about which homes to visit or skip. Please don’t post names, addresses, or accusations in the comments.☝🏾

🍬 Stay with your children, stick to well-lit routes, and remind them never to enter a home or vehicle for candy.

Save it. Share it. Keep Halloween focused on costumes, candy, and getting everyone home safely. 🧡🖤

Black Norwood / Everyday Norwood. ❤️🖤💚

A space to celebrate Black residents, spotlight Black businesses, recognize our organizers, and tell our stories with the credit going to the people who actually do the work. Imagine that. 😉

Come connect, share your business, promote your events, celebrate your neighbors, and help build a community that shows up for one another.

The only catch? Leave the pandering at the door. We’re not auditioning for acceptance from people who don’t want us or welcome us. And we won’t be asking anyone’s permission to celebrate ourselves.

Everyone who comes with respect and genuine support is welcome. You don’t have to be Black to support Black Norwood, but you do have to be comfortable with Black people taking up space, speaking for ourselves, and being celebrated.

Bring your pride, your people, and your purpose.
The approval committee can sit this one out. 💅🏾

Norwood Now Discourse Delusion (NNDD)

A community-induced cognitive disorder affecting those who willingly engage in inane Norwood-Now conversations.

Symptoms:
✅ Hyper-fixation on local drama

✅ Severe misplaced priorities – Will argue for hours about no left turns out of Stop n’ Shop and the Morse St bridge but ignore actual town issues.

✅ Recurring rage episodes – Arms themselves with phrases like “It’s always been this way” and “if you don’t like it, move out.”,

✅ Phantom town nostalgia – Believes Norwood was objectively better in an unspecified golden era.

✅ Comment section addiction – Convinced they can “win” a Facebook argument against someone whose profile picture is an eagle with the words “Proud American Patriot”.

✅ Delusions of grandeur – Thinks they are the only sane person left in town, yet still voluntarily participates in discussions.

✅ Spontaneous paranoia – Fear that Town Meeting is secretly controlled by the General Manager, a Union or big developer, depending on the day.

✅ Mild masochism – Keeps clicking on threads that they know will ruin their day.

Other symptoms include:
• Persistent urge to engage in town debates despite knowing it will lead to existential despair

• Unshakable belief that logic and facts will prevail in Facebook comment sections

• Sudden spikes in blood pressure upon hearing the phrase “MBTA 3A Communities Law…”

• Compulsive need to explain town bylaws to people

• Episodes of asking inane questions like “Does anyone know if trash will be picked up tomorrow?”, “did anyone hear the helicopter?” (Insert any question that can be answered by a simple google search here)

Common Triggers:

• Any discussion about new businesses and/or housing developments opening

• The MBTA

• Moderna

• Zoning disputes

• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion /Anti-Hate/Racism/Bigotry discussions

• Anything involving young people

• Property taxes

Treatment Options:
🛑 Early intervention – Logging off before engaging in a debate about whether Norwood really needs another apartment building.

🚶 Exposure therapy – Talking to a rational town resident in real life to remember they do, in fact, exist.

📵 Digital detox – Blocking the Norwood Now group from social media and enjoying life again.

🌿 Self-care – Touching grass, but preferably not on the Town Common where someone is already arguing about dog waste.

Other Treatment Options:
• Immediate and complete disengagement from local discourse

• Blocking at least three people a week for self-preservation

• Accepting that some people simply refuse to be helped

*(Severe cases may require temporary relocation.)

Prognosis:
• Untreated NNDD can lead to Norwood Nihilism, a condition where one loses all faith in the town and contemplates moving but never actually does.

• Recovery is possible, but the urge to check “just one more comment” remains a lifelong struggle.

Do you know anyone suffering from NNDD?
Or are you, too, already infected?
Seek help immediately.
