Amid federal funding cuts and scaled back hours, local libraries could use a little love. @jdinri.bsky.social and @jesscigna.bsky.social are organizing a “Library Love Letter” campaign aimed at delivering words of gratitude and support to RI’s public libraries. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/30/m...

I can't even count how many libraries in Rhode Island I've gone to talks in, held events at, and even taken out books from. @jdinri.bsky.social and @jesscigna.bsky.social with a great idea for how to say thanks to the people who keep these important small "d" democratic institutions going

I guess they don’t think Knowledge Is as Powerful anymore?

YOU GUYS WE WROTE A FUCKING BOOK

Today’s Rhode Island weather is the definition of Lousy Smarch weather.

Love me a nice mail ballot drop box. This is going to be a fun event. Hope you can come if you’re interested.

Taking some time for introspection? Why not think about which RI library you’d like to send a love letter! Sign up in link below.

🥰 Famous Library Lover (@jdinri.bsky.social ) had this cool idea and I get to collaborate on it! Use the link below to sign up to send a library a love letter during April’s Library Appreciation Week.

I cried in the theater while watching this one and also the Butterfly. Definitely worth watching.

Providence folks: any information on the new garbage and recycling bins? Are they the size of the very old recycling bins(when the city switched the lids on left) or the newer-sized garbage bins? I don’t have a sense of what 95 gallons is and these older cans only have info on lbs 332 and 227.

We’re here to support libraries. Take action at action.everylibrary.org. #library #libraries #read #reading #book #books #librarylove #author #publiclibrary #literature #lit

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know? But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

Rhode Island friends: Anyone here (or do you know anyone) who might be interested in leading a small group in a few songs at an in-person, outdoor gathering this coming weekend celebrating the extra evening hour of light? (Or other times, as it's often something I'm looking for.)

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

As of this morning, 2/19, a month after the snow storm the crosswalk on North Main Street at the intersection of Branch/Cypress is still unshoveled. There’s a whole city task force dedicated to this unsafe street and yet this shows how little our city actually cares about pedestrians here.

congrats to DC on achieving statehood

This is a CAT Checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

It's now been well over a week since Boston's snowstorm, most bike lanes are unusable because of the snow accumulation. Help clear snow from bike lanes that the City has failed to do: Friday Feb 6 @3pm at Comm Ave & Backcock street. @bikeboston.bsky.social RSVP Here: 🔗 bcu.bike/shovel

This was the state of Empire Street bike lane yesterday. A few fire hydrants inaccessible too. In front of a municipal building.

Hooray for data specialists roles!

Curious about the proposed State History Center? Watch Secretary Amore's testimony from tonight's House Committee on Finance hearing. We believe that Rhode Island's treasures, like our copies of the Declaration of Independence, should be on display for the public to see. youtu.be/Sj1rzDCZHyk?...

Pinch me: Some of the biggest historical romance authors in the universe are coming to Linden Place in Bristol RI March 7th!! - Sarah Maclean - Adrianna Herrera - Joanna Shupe - Elizabeth Everett Shit this big doesn’t normally happen in Little Rhody in March! www.lindenplace.org/romancecon

I understand that Providence is trying to make right here but I am I out of line to be completely iterated by the word choice of “limited participation”?

Great night for a snowy hike.

Can’t get PVD 311 to recognize 987 North Main Street to put in a ticket for Firestone. It’s Thursday. Also included the intersection of Branch, North Main, and Cypress. And a church downtown at Greene and Washington. All today around 4:30.

If only RI would have thought about these trends a decade ago! stdidhousingworksriprod.blob.core.windows.net/housingworks...

It’s a dark and cold day but ventured out to the Statehouse for RI Center for the Book’s 2026 Reading Across RI launch of Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. Rare and needed rays of light and Hope ⚓️ from all the speakers. ribook.org/2025/12/18/2...
