In Bloom: Love in the Digital Age

Thu 6:30pm · Cambridge

Join us for a deep dive into online dating with Dr. Jess Carbino, where we explore the highs and lows of modern courtship! We swipe. We match. We message. We wonder if it's real. Dating apps promised us connection, and gave us endless choice, careful curation, and a strange new kind of exhaustion. So what's actually happening beneath the surface? Dating apps have gone from "kind of weird" to "just how it works"; and somewhere along the way, they rewired the entire landscape of meeting people, forming connections, and figuring out what we actually want. More options than ever, but somehow it still feels... complicated. So what's really happening here? What do we gain from dating through screens? What do we lose? And how do we show up as ourselves when the whole thing can feel like a performance? We're sitting down with Dr. Jess Carbino, a sociologist who spent years as the in-house researcher for Tinder and Bumble, someone who's studied not just how the apps work, but how we work when we use them. Together, we'll explore: → The paradox of choice — why more options don't always help → Performing vs. being — authenticity vs. curation in your profile → Swipe fatigue — decision overload and why it's so exhausting → Digital intimacy — what changes when connection starts with an algorithm → Getting to know someone through texts — what we gain and lose → Dating with intention — ambition, timing, and what you're actually looking for → What's next — where modern courtship is headed This isn't a lecture. It's a real conversation: thoughtful, honest, and grounded in research but also in the messy, human experience of actually being out there. Whether you're actively on the apps, taking a break, or just trying to make sense of it all — this is for you. Bring your questions. Bring your friends. Bring your "wait, does anyone else feel this way?" moments. Let's talk about it.

Fortuna 500 and DINOS at the Burren

Thu 7pm · Somerville

Picture this - beers (cold), guitars (loud), singing (loud), drums (loudest), bass (bumping), you (the royal you), and all your friends (the royal your), all at the Burren dancing and jumping up and down to music (rock and roll) All of this and more could be your reality, all you need to do is buy a ticket. Now, a little about the bands. DINOS is a no holds bard rock and roll annihilating power house lightning bolt coach whips explosion of energy and tone like no one has ever seen before. Coming from Allston they got the vibe they got the charm and most of all oops I think they just stole your man. Fortuna 500 is a boot stomping busted acid trip Glen Campbell with distortion country kick flip with a side of arsenic sauce and Chris Angels ghost tribute band that recently learned how to write originals. From Somerville, they are organically sourced and ready to reintroduce you to the idea of “fun”
