👏👏👏 for @thestoryshorey.bsky.social on a great run.
Also: "I won't miss moderating those internet comments." 🤣
Are these the same sidewalks routinely parked-on in the summer? I used to attempt running on Front St. when I lived in Saylesville and it was... an adventure.
First year of home ownership, told my husband we didn't need one. I've officially lost that argument.
This is extremely Providence (complimentary) www.providencejournal.com/story/news/g...
This is the blizzard content I'm here for.
Not only does Vermont have a real-time map of all its snowplow locations (h/t @rhodeislandcurrent.com), they all have names. Mr. Pushy is probably my favorite, but McNugget and Marauder Machine are definitely up there.
"They spent roughly four hours constructing high-backed bench seating that would fit all six of them, and a table with cupholders for drinks."
Today, Rhode Island remembers the lives lost and the families forever changed by the Station nightclub fire. We honor their memory and hold close the lessons learned from that tragic night.
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 👇

ICE's biggest roadblock in some states: NIMBYism.
"NIMBYism is the most powerful force sometimes in American politics and nobody wants a detention center next to their home, their business or their school.”

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.
"...we really have to zoom out and think about all of the things that impact low-income individuals and families...It’s really thinking about hunger in a much broader way of, ‘How do we ensure that people can thrive?’"

“Everyone who walks through our courthouse walks through equal, whether they’re the president of the United States or whether they’re someone seeking food stamps,” Judge John J. McConnell Jr. said. “We apply the law to them and we do it without fear or favor.”

Today, Jan. 21, is Russell Gusetti Day. Cumberland officially honored the Blackstone River Theatre co-founder and executive director for 25 years of contributions to the arts, education, and the community. https://bit.ly/49xfZ2z
Love this! Russ is the best.
(I wrote about the exhibit for the current issue of @rimonthly.bsky.social. Also, this is a fantastic museum on the history of labor immigration in Woonsocket that everyone should check out.) www.rimonthly.com/lao-american...
Excellent piece by @phileil.bsky.social on what's happening with RI's Lao community. For anyone interested in Lao immigration to RI, there's a great exhibit by @vimalap.bsky.social at the Museum of Work and Culture through Feb. 27! rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/01/20/r...
This lede from @danmcgowan.bsky.social 👇
BREAKING: Police are investigating possible ties between the shooting at Brown University on Saturday, and the killing of a MIT professor in Brookline, Mass. on Monday. w/ @elisherman.bsky.social @tednesi.bsky.social

Providence police have created a centralized site for photos/videos related to the Brown University shooting. Rely on official sources like this, not AI-fueled online stuff www.providenceri.gov/tips/
Please only share official videos and photos. There’s a lot of folks that are taking it upon themselves to “enhance” or otherwise manipulate the images which are giving a false identity of the POI. If it’s not from official channels, it’s not worth sharing - and could be actively harmful.
Congress just banned most hemp-derived THC products. What does that mean for RI beverage producers?
My newest On Tap is a long one this month as we explore the federal shutdown deal. Shoutout to @krish-eh.bsky.social who also has a great explainer on the topic. www.rimonthly.com/on-tap-brewe...
White Mountain puzzles are a family favorite! They have lots of other great ones themed around New England locales.
Update, the "ground" we're breaking today is actually snow from A Christmas Carol. This is delightful and very on-brand for RI.
Here at the groundbreaking for Trinity Rep's expansion. Seeing as groundbreakings are always ceremonial and it's raining, I was glad to see the festivities will take place on the indoor stage.
At their 4 pm meeting yesterday the Board of Elections staff reported receiving several dozen phone calls from voters asking why they didn’t have an election yesterday.
My feature on REGENT is now online! Who knew the world's first electric Seaglider would be built (and, soon, mass-produced) in Quonset? @rimonthly.bsky.social www.rimonthly.com/regent-seagl...
Smith-Appleby House Museum in Smithfield. Such a hidden gem! They have an entire room of WWII-era artifacts (in addition to history going back to the 1700s).
