POINT OF CLARIFICATION: the BLM Protest Event that was just cancelled on FB does NOT mean protest tm is cancelled. The event posted was never sanctioned by the youth organizers+ we believe it may have been cancelled to stifle turnout and the youth voice tm. Event is still on.

I used to respond to book requests by saying 'Sorry, we can't get hold of this electronically'. You bet I've started to say 'the publisher has chosen not to make this available for libraries to purchase, preferring to sell or rent directly to students as this is more profitable'.

The display of force in Providence tonight, what an incredible waste of public resources. Black lives matter.

This is why I will never understand professors trying to replicate a regular semester right now.

I need to block news about student loan cancellation - every time I see a headline I feel panic. Happy for so many, grief for myself over here with private loans.

Ka loved sharing her seeds, fruits and garden knowledge, across language and generational barriers. The last time I saw her she was carrying her garden gear down Updike St, weeding the sidewalk as she went.

The Hmong community is mourning the loss of Ka Xiong, the "heart and soul" of the Peace & Plenty Community Garden in South Providence. Her loved ones say she was killed after being hit by a driver when walking home from the garden. Their call to make streets safer- WPRI 12 at 11

Ka Xiong was an instantly recognizable face in the Elmwood community garden where she tended to a plot of produce, shared vegetables and donated seeds. Yet she became "Jane Doe" after being fatally struck by a car last week. How?providencejournal.com/story/news/loc…
