Gave up most social media for my own wellbeing. Let’s see how this goes.

Providence, RI ⚓️ based dad, husband, corporate nerd, indie rock fan, and museum wanderer. Worried about the climate and dreaming about living in a passive house on the coast.
STOP. This is a selfie checkpoint. You must repost with a cute selfie to proceed

Do yourself a favor and live in a neighborhood where you can walk to a rock show on a Friday night.

Shout out to the preteens who stage dove the entire night. I absolutely loved that people my age (or probably younger) brought their kids — and the kids rocked out.

Bane sounded as loud and energetic as when I saw them play the Red Barn in North Andover back in the mid-90s.

Aaron Bedard, the singer, looker a bit like one of my sisters after a few.

Spent Friday night getting dinner (including my first shot of Malört) at Lucky Enough, and the walked down to Olneyville to see Bane and Hot Water Music at Fete Ballroom.

Hot Water Music confirms that at least one good thing comes out of Florida (they’re from Gainesville).

Check out this Very Good Boy I spotted at Symposium a couple years ago.

One of my dreams for Providence is to live long enough to see Luongo Square pedestrianized: The only cars that could drive on Carpenter or West Fountain between Knight & Battey were residents, and the only ones that could drive through are emergency vehicles.

And I don’t even live there.

This is the trippiest 12-hour weather radar I’ve ever seen. @weatherishappening.com

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better headline. Well done, @danmcgowan.bsky.social.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

OP shows their limited musical range with the exclusions. Here’s three.

iPhone 16 Pro, still not great at capturing the moon in a city with tons of light “noise”.

I’m probably preaching to the choir here, Bluesky, but wouldn’t it be smart to block Thames St. in Newport from car traffic?

NO NEW PICTURES; WHERE R U MENTALLY?

Still buzzing about how fun this show was. 30 years after my first time seeing them, these fellow Merrimack Valley hardcore kids still know how to rip.

Seems legit.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

On Instagram @helenabfoulkes.bsky.social is taking it to RIPTA (and therefore McGee).

My personal brand is sitting at my desk job in a bank and listening to 90s Swedish Socialist hardcore.

File under “I contain multitudes”: Skeeting about Buddhist teachings while texting with @megtripp.bsky.social about how TIL Chicago (the band) gave us one of the most famous vocal samples in all of house music.
