📰 News we're reading
• Boston drag queen Jujubee makes big-screen debut in "Stop! That! Train!" (axios.com) — Provincetown audiences can catch drag stars Jujubee and Ginger Minj in a raunchy, campy “Wicked” parody called “Licked: For Gay” at the Red Room from July 9–26. The Boston-born Jujubee is also making her big-screen debut in the disaster-comedy “Stop! That! Train!” and talks about representing her Laotian and queer identities onstage and on film. 
• Guarding Against the Ax (provincetownindependent.org) — A reprinted 1858 Provincetown Banner piece recalls the Pilgrims’ first impressions of the harbor and the once-dense forests that ringed the bay. It contrasts those wooded shores with today’s barer Cape landscape, urging town leaders to protect young trees behind the village as a future source of shade, beauty, and health for residents.
• Wild video shows great white caught at Mass. beach as shark season ramps up (nbcboston.com) — Shark researchers are already logging great white activity in Cape Cod Bay, including waters just outside Provincetown, as the summer season begins. Experts urge swimmers to stay close to shore, avoid seals and schools of fish, and report any shark sightings through the Sharktivity app so beachgoers and boaters can better understand and manage the risks.
