“I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.” — Virginia Woolf
“People are afraid of things they don’t understand” Joni in conversation with Hege Duckert in July 1988.
My partner shared this with me yesterday, and today I want everyone to want a bakfiets! @notjustbikes youtube.com/watch?v=rQhzEn…
@Sara_HeartStory @jaime_dill @milkcratejess @GG_Silverman Books: The best kind of rabbit hole. 😉
@ribicycle & @BikeNewportRI & @BikeLeague you all have mentions in this essay! @PVDStreets you might be interested in this narrative of one tiny woman on a Giant bike in PVD. 🚴♀️
I've become obsessed with thinking about cause and effect. In 2020, we ditched our 2nd car and I learned to bike commute. Effect=I started to write again. In 2021, I wrote this essay. Effect=I remembered why I must write. plateofpandemic.com/solace-in-the-…
@PVDStreets @ThayerStreetPVD Yes, please! I avoid Thayer when driving my car. It's a nightmare to drive through and to find parking. How pleasant it would be to dine, and stroll (and bike) without the cars.
@Sara_HeartStory @jaime_dill @milkcratejess @GG_Silverman Linguini by Diane Lockward is one of my favorite poems about one of my favorite foods. 😋 writersalmanac.org/index.html%3Fp…
@ribicycle @PVDStreets @CityofProv Ty! Looks like Allen's Ave is scheduled to be swept once a year in either April or May. @RIDOTNews has there been a delay? It's tough to ride in the bike lane with that level of debris. The alternative is to ride closer to the car lane with the trucks.😯
This is the bike lane on Allen's Ave (northbound) in Providence. It's littered with industrial debris from the trucks at the port. It gets even worse near the l-95 ramp. @PVDStreets and @ribicycle who is responsible for street sweeping? The @CityofProv?
@PVDStreets I was at the bus stop on Empire St. last week and watched a car drive into the bike lane. Those plastic posts are a joke. They do not make me feel protected. I love the green pavement in these photos!
Excited to be one of this month’s contributors to @TheSunMagazine Readers Write section on the theme of “Cooking.” Shared a tale my grandmother, Marie, told me often enough that I’d memorized it! She’s smiling from above. thesunmagazine.org/issues/557/coo…
Who has read this book? Thank you @sashacagen for the reading suggestion! I'll never forget my breath again 🫁#breath #jamesnestor
There are a gazillion important reasons to #CancelStudentDebt, but today I've been thinking about how challenging it is to create art in the face of precarity.
It's the moment I've been waiting for... my CMOS doorstop is here! #copyeditor #chicagostyle #cmos #17edition #grammar
Worth the read! I don't own a Peloton, but as a female who took up bike commuting during 2020, I've been curious about those who ride indoors. This piece raises important ?'s about brand loyalty and body sizes.
Just thrilled to have @WendyRMonkey on Culture Study, writing about Peloton, or more specifically, Loving a Company That Doesn't Know How to Love Me Back: annehelen.substack.com/p/on-loving-a-…
What a lovely evening @riffraffpvd with author @annie_hartnett who signed my copy of Unlikely Animals and shared her process for the writing life. I haven't been this excited to read fiction for months! And it's set in small town NH!
I'm thrilled to be one of the readers this Fri night with @whatcheerclub. I'll share an excerpt from my essay, "Solace in the Saddle" which celebrates the joy I discovered whilst learning to become a bike commuter in RI throughout the first year of the pandemic. Register to join.
This Friday, April 22 at 7pm Rhode Island writers will be sharing stories, essays and poetry inspired by, or in conversation with the natural world. Join us online this Earth Day by registering here: eventbrite.com/e/earth-in-ver…
@jaime_dill Yes! I'll DM you my email address.
@Sara_HeartStory @jaime_dill Yes, thank you @Sara_HeartStory! The class was full of inspirational nuggets and such a supportive group of writers. Hope to join again ✍️📓❤️
