Georgia, running in the cold

I love y'all's rapport with her on Vibe Check SO much.

New glasses day is *always* exciting for me!

Just got an email from SRICD with info for farmers in RI who sustained damage from the blizzard: www.farmers.gov/protection-r...

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

You Can Just Do Stuff

Oh YEAH agreed

This rules!!

You've gotta hand it to her (you do NOT have to hand it to her)

Congrats!!

YES!!! I'm pumped for MORE.

Someone recently told me I should start an arthouse cinema in the state - it's a real drag that we don't have something like Kendall Sq/Coolidge Corner/Brattle Theater here in RI. I feel like Jane Pickens in Newport is the closest, and even that doesn't really compare.

(Yep, this is my own bias re: what works for theaters these days. Being in a half-dead mall was probably part of the issue.)

Though I'm not super surprised that hosting all the Christian movies and refusing to show anything with a whiff of queerness (Bottoms, for example) isn't a recipe for success these days.

Cinemaworld in Lincoln is closing on Saturday. I'm gonna miss that terrible theater. Two of my best movie theater people-watching experiences have happened there, including sitting near two decked out elder goths for FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES (I think) and a truly Lynchian trio another time.

This is perfect

The Wedding Cake House in PVD posted video of this on Broadway, too, and I saw similar video of the East Side on reddit. Looks like front end loaders are just dumping snow anywhere that isn't the road. I can't believe this is somebody's idea of the best option.

This shit is genuinely crazy. It's really sickening that a small number of hateful lunatics has this much power.

Wow, this is so cool!

I feel this way when I donate platelets. That's just too much of the yellow stuff!!!

Thank you! I miss you and I hope we can make plans after all of this snow and illness!

I've been sick once a month for the last three months. I got my seasonal shots. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING, Y'KNOW

Yep! We've got a confluence of factors contributing to warmer air temps and warmer waters (& the accompanying sea level rise).

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

I know DEM has some ag programs (grants etc) but for immediate help to get back up and running, insurance and community assistance is probably the move

Hey Providence, Echo Village, the pallet houses on Victor St off Douglas, needs shoveling help. They are struggling in the snow--the tiny houses there don't have kitchens or bathrooms & people can't get their doors open to reach facilities

If you are walking distance & can get over there please do

Me in a green puffy coat and blaze orange hat, standing in nearly knee deep snow.

This is the LEAST deep snow at my house. (I'm 5'9")

Totally, but I want to clear the heat pump, which is about 20 feet from the nearest door. At least it's behind a big rhododendron bush, so it has a little protection from the drifting snow.

Ugh, I have to go do that 😭
