Ah, summertime in Rhode Island. The beaches, the food, the cancellation of every major event because of the COVID-19 crisis … yeah, we’re sad it’s not going to be the same, too. But – there’s still plenty to do this summer from the comfort of your own home, or while getting out and being safe […]
She left Providence after graduating, having seen nothing of the city. “I really didn’t. Now I see that. I didn’t see it before, because I thought that was the nature of being in school. That you just don’t see very much of where you are. I saw campus. I went to Brown, and I stayed […]
Hi Spyce, I’m in a non monogamous relationship with a wonderful woman. We do a form of polyamory called “kitchen table poly,” and I currently live with her, her husband and their two kids.

The toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on our economy has been as debilitating as the disease itself, and some of the hardest hit were those who worked in creative fields. As the shut downs began, performance artists watched bookings disappear, teaching artists saw workshops and residencies cancelled, galleries were forced to close their […]
She told me her friend asked her if she was scared to go to the protest. “I told her the truth. I told her I’m scared every day. That’s the truth. Now it’s like– I don’t know if I was always scared. I know I am. There are people sitting at home scared. If you’re […]
