If yall aren’t in RI right now, know we just chose a young, socialist, wrestling Latino as our democratic representative for the Providence mayoral race. The joy in this city is huge right now. And the biggest scandal Reddit could put together was “yeah, he’s always been that enthusiastic.”

David is 27 years old, a state house rep, and an INCREDIBLE @runforsomething.net leader. His win against an incumbent is truly against the odds and a big victory for young people, for renters, and for anyone ready for a new generation of Democrats.

A southerner’s guide to Rhode Island | Erin White

Like I said: there are 5 types of democrats in Rhode Island. - 2 are republicans - 1 is a corrupt shill who’s held office forever - 1 is a moderate with pockets lined by corporate donors, and - 1 is a democratic socialist whose dedicated base is about to win them a consequential election in 2026

Oh friend. I’m so sorry for your loss. Bill sounds like the kind of person we should all aspire to be like ❤️

the thing is like public health child literacy civil rights social justice rural poverty once you personally have become rich and successful, those things only matter if you still have the capacity to care deeply about people outside your immediate circle and that is harder than becoming rich

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Fellow southern queerfolk, especially those of us who grew up in the church and in the closet, will feel this piece acutely.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Best and most accurate headline you’ll see, highlighting exactly what Dolly did with her earnings to make this world a better place. What a tremendous honor it was for us to live at the same time as this person. May her memory shine bright.

Also, the Solomon campaign absolutely knew they were using the wrong pronouns for Jackie and I sent an angry email to them about it. Casual transphobia does NOT get a pass in our ward

The race for Providence 5th Ward city council is getting spicier. Just got an attack mailer against @jackiegoldman.bsky.social so they must be doing something right over there. Go get ‘em, Jackie!

Erin @biscuit.quest · 14/08/2026

The thing is, that two grand you spent on the set of encyclopedias in 1986 wasn’t about the books. It was about teaching your kids to “look it up”, to seek knowledge on their own, and explore the world. You got your money’s worth. The books can go.

Erin @biscuit.quest · 14/08/2026

Business idea: for a small fee, we claim to want your boomer parents’ entire 1986 leatherbound encyclopedia set. They “donate” them to us and we throw them away. Circle of life.

There’s no tidy way to end this lil’ thread. I wouldn’t trade those years in Richmond for anything, and they were fundamental to how I am moving through the world today in the “blue wall” of New England with all its attendant posturing and laurel-resting. Lots of work to be done here too.

Monumental Impact – Honoring the Life & Legacy of Dr. Melanie Buffington

I’m so glad our friend Melanie got to see it. She was there when JEB Stuart came down, when Jefferson Davis came down. She died that September. She spent her career talking about monuments, collective memory, and the harm of memorializing the wrong things scholarscompass.vcu.edu/jstae/vol42/...

Virginia removes 12-ton Robert E. Lee statue from Richmond's Monument Avenue

Three years later, after weeks of protests in Richmond following the murder of George Floyd, and weeks of counter protesters being teargassed over and over…the monuments came down abcnews.com/US/virginia-...

The governor ordered the removal of the state-owned statue in June 2020.

Monument Avenue protests turn out largely peaceful, seven counter-protesters arrested

September 16, 2017, in Richmond - another counter protest against white supremacists. The city locked down entry to the “free speech zone” and again we had no idea what would happen, but we showed up. It felt important. Again, counterprotesters arrested. rvahub.com/2017/09/18/m...

By day's end on Saturday, September 16th, it was apparent that Richmond had come out unscathed. Just a handful of folks from the neo-Confederate group made their presence known, while hundreds of coun...

The somber vigil in Richmond on Sunday, August 13, when armed white supremacists showed up on motorcycles and tried to scare us. We stood them down and marched to the JEB Stuart statue, where the cops were waiting.

I wasn’t there in August, but I will never forget the July counterprotest against the Klan and the interfaith group of clergy, dressed in their official garb, linking arms as they walked with us in the streets. The riot cops marching quickly out of their muster point, hurling tear gas at the crowd.
