Just want her back

I interviewed for a customer service position at their factory early in my career. Interview with the floor manager went well! Then KJP himself popped in to grill me on having worked for the RI Coalition for Reproductive Freedom - why I was doing it, who was paying me, etc. I didn't get the job.

Who is the man buying up all your favorite restaurants in Rhode Island? I spent the past year trying to figure out why. My latest via @RIMonthly 👇 www.rimonthly.com/nick-schorsc...

This is an interesting article. I own a couple of KJP items. I've never seen their social media. However, after watching, I'm pretty sure I can see why it was co-opted by white nationalists. The ads are a year old, why didn't they changed their ads once they saw the Nazis sharing it?

A DNA test ruled him out. He was convicted of murder in Providence anyway. Great first story in a series by the @bostonglobe.com on "Twisted Science" and the mistakes the justice system makes in using forensic science www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/23/o...

"How did a seemingly innocuous video promoting a store that sells socks embroidered with puffins and lobsters become a far-right meme?" A wild story from @antoniafarzan.bsky.social.

ICYMI: Yesterday, I wrote in Público about my own experiences navigating Portugal’s self-determination law to update my legal name and gender, and why the Parliament's current move to repeal it is so significant. www.publico.pt/2026/03/17/p...

Nooooooooo

I'm generally pro-return to office, but I acknowledge that one of the stronger arguments against this view is the fact that the typical American office space is one of the most soul-destroying spaces in the developed world.

Have a feeling that the new Deer Tick album is going to become my whole personality

A gigantic snow teddy bear was stopping traffic in Woonsocket. A massive snow sculpture carved by David Gladu outside his Poplar Street home has become a local attraction, with drivers, city workers, and school buses stopping so families can snap photos. https://bit.ly/3PgbKRc

@antoniafarzan.bsky.social graciously interviewed me for this piece and I'm grateful. We don't value these types of labor jobs and we don't notice until a storm like the one we had, how hard it is. Our society needs to be more grateful for those amongst us who step up during an emergency

The great @antoniafarzan.bsky.social tells the story of Pixie, the East Providence kitty who spent two days during the blizzard stuck in a tree. Thankfully, she survived. 😭😭😭

This is an excellent piece from the Journal's Alex Kuffner explaining how climate change contributed to this week's mega-blizzard. Kuffner notes that Rhode Island is the "the fastest-warming state in the country," which I didn't know. 😳

Genuinely glad that these young people are having a nice time www.providencejournal.com/story/news/g...

Literally a force of nature, everybody is effected and has an opinion on what is and isn’t working, a lot of the problems are determined by decisions made well ahead of the event (e.g., poor infrastructure), and much of the political impact will come down to a post-facto narrative.

I kinda think weather politics is local politics at its purest form.

The snow in Newport is one corgi tall

What to do now ahead of a possible power outage: Fill containers with drinking water. You can melt snow for non-drinking uses but you don't want to drink that. Charge up phones, computers, etc. Round up your flashlights, and if you use candles, PLEASE don't leave them lit unattended.

Don't know who needs to hear this, besides everyone under this blizzard warning, but it's always a good time to buy a pass to Rhode Island beaches... (Summer is coming.) beachparkingri.com/season-pass/

Sure, it would have been nice if my husband had been around to help with the shoveling, but now I get to lord this over him for the rest of my life

Snow pileup continued to prove problematic for RIPTA riders across Providence weeks after January's snowstorm, several bus stops covered in ice or blocked by snow banks. https://bit.ly/4cA04lV

The Pawtucket ice rink shooter was "visibly upset" after Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth toured their workplace in Maine last week and made a disparaging comment about "dudes in dresses" that drew cheers from other workers www.providencejournal.com/story/news/c...

More than a century ago Providence abandoned plans for a 2-line subway system similar to Boston's Green Line. The decision haunts city and transit experts to this day. The story of what happened and why 👇 www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

For the Providence Journal, @antoniafarzan.bsky.social reports on Rhode Island's appearance in the Epstein files. Great -- albeit nauseating -- reporting.

Another gun-violence nightmare in Rhode Island.

Come for @antoniafarzan.bsky.social peeling the layers back on how big superstores have made it hard for new grocers to open up shop in RI. Stay for the Lt. Governor pausing mid-interview to roast me for spending all my free time picking through municipal land evidence records.

What if we just shipped our snow south.

Love to spend a cozy winter day in Providence*. *This photo posted by Providence Tourism on IG is either AI, Cleveland, or some other city I don't recognize.

Ok now I can say it. This post was about Cru

Will never forget the time I ordered “bruschetta” in Garden City, Kansas
