Unreal Fox Point find.

I'm deeply, deeply saddened by the passing of Richard Alba @alba42.bsky.social. He was such a great scholar and source of support to me - blurbing my first book, writing for me on multiple occasions, and generally discussing ideas (incl when we didn't agree - which is rare for scholars these days).

Richard Alba was a cousin of mine. He was a true scholar and champion for the Italian-American experience. Unfortunately, I last saw him pre-COVID at my grandmother's funeral (which he references in his recent book), though we'd exchange emails. I am happy to read about his influence on your career.

I recently left the Providence Public School District and was proud to work on high school redesign with school leaders and community stakeholders (including Brown University). You might be interested in learning more about the new school models: www.providenceschools.org/redesign

What happened to 20 Stories Bookstore though 😣

I am a patent law newbie but I’ve so enjoyed reading your posts.

Just picked this up and it’s amazing. Thank you so much for this.

A brewer once told me his new IPA had “hints of coco and notes of peppermint” and I realized we’ve gone too far.

Brought the Minnesotans to the Great Swamp Monument.

The St Francis of Assisi Church Auditorium in SK… the mystery I didn’t even know I encountered.

Interviewer: Is there anything in your resume you’d like to share?

Me: I can recite the John Hazen White Jr. opening to A Lively Experiment by heart.

it's not just about helping the pig. it's realizing that we are the pig. 🐷✨

Well, the Rhode Island Multiverse has finally arrived.

We should appreciate these more.

Confirmed it exists and still stands with a cupola. Was unable to secure an address for privacy. The mystery continues.

Alright, I’m scouring through Zillow and I sent him a text to put this to bed. I will follow up but I think it’s a MYTH.

Once again stirring in my sleep because I remembered that my high school teacher told me he could see the ocean from a window in his childhood home in Hope Valley. It can’t be true. It can’t

Easily will pay for this substack.

Mentally preparing myself for the PVDFest, Greek Festival, and RI Seafood Festival marathon tomorrow.
