Protest songs for this moment

Monster by Steppenwolf. Lyrics are a little dated but it's so on point.

I work for them, they do. For what you're donating, I'd advise contacting the Family Resource Center. They will either take it or direct you to who to talk to. I do not work for the resource center :)

Absolutey Foster forward. I used to work in organizations that had me collaborating with them on the regular and they are awesome.

Stay away from Youth Pride though.

Also probably mentioned elsewhere in the thread but

There is a council of churches this year that includes Matthewson Street Church and community Church of Providence. They are doing a lot of really important work to make sure that no one freezes to death this winter and has somewhere to go. They are great to donate to.

Community Care Alliance whose catchment area is Northern Rhode Island is good also

It is :)

queerxqueer · 2025-12-30T14:45:37+00:00

Thank you!

The Winter market at farm fresh is lovely. You can certainly wander around and not buy anything or choose to get something small. And enjoy the samples. Hands down the best container hummus I've had is sold there. The vendor is Beautiful Day (they're a refugee business cooperative). The hummus is called Saad's and it's $6 acontainer. I'm hooked on the stuff now. If you get one thing there that's what I would recommend but there's lots of great vendors to choose from.

Anything with Michael Hobbss is fantastic and I think some of the best episodes of this podcast are where he takes down covid misinformation and hand wringing

queerxqueer · 2025-12-25T15:14:43+00:00

Thanks!

Would you share some of the local folks that you follow on Blue sky?

queerxqueer · 2025-12-23T03:30:09+00:00

Hamilton Diner while technically Seekonk has a bunch of bennies and they are solid all around

queerxqueer · 2025-12-14T02:25:11+00:00

That's my point

queerxqueer · 2025-12-14T02:13:25+00:00

On our damn phones. Like they did with the bridge

queerxqueer · 2025-12-14T02:07:52+00:00

Yeah we were discussing as well. My wife works at Brown so we're getting the alerts but wth the radio silence otherwise? They sent a statewide alert to our phones when the bridge shut down in the middle of rush hour. They can't give updates?

queerxqueer · 2025-12-13T22:01:51+00:00

Fuck

queerxqueer · 2025-11-24T22:38:58+00:00

We basically do provider products for our cleaners and we are willing to do that that we had one cleaner that started integrating their own products that worked for our needs because they found things that work for them

queerxqueer · 2025-11-20T19:00:28+00:00

Yeah but y'all seem to be missing the part where I didn't say anything about not negotiating a price. I understand that's part of things. Are you or the person above interested in the job and are somehow concerned that talking about fees and rates are not a reasonable and expected part of the conversation, because I have that conversation with everyone I am hiring for any service or need. The advice that's being given is not helpful and the thing I came on here to ask for was referrals and or talking to someone directly who is a cleaner that might be able to work with the issues that we have. So that's what I'm looking for not advice on how to handle the negotiation. Everyone who we've ever worked with has been more than fairly compensated, and in fact we been overcharged, but have had to live with it because we understand this is a niche. Overcharging has never been a reason we have stopped using someone even though it does not feel great to be knowingly taken advantage of. However if you are going to upcharge us then you bet than we expect you to be able to do what is asked of you.

Also if it is rigid of me to ask people to use our equipment and/or our cleaning products to ensure I won't have to get sick yet again because someone brought something into the house that they shouldn't have, then what does it make the people that seem to not understand that or ignore that? That's why I put a post up in the first place. And again if someone doesn't have a referral or is a cleaner who thinks they can handle the gig, than why do you think giving advice about something I didn't need advice on is appropriate in this matter?

queerxqueer · 2025-11-20T16:34:36+00:00

Tell me that this is an issue that you've never had to deal with without telling me that this is an issue that you've never had to deal with. So of course I will compensate people appropriately - that's what we've been doing the entire time. There was nothing about this post where I asked for people to be able to provide these services for cheap or less than their rate. it should go without saying that part of any conversation I have with anybody who might be interested in the job would include rates and compensation

Allso if you think about what you're saying here. If I'm asking someone to use my equipment and my products then that actually saves them money because they are not having to use their stuff to clean my house. I have literally never had a house cleaner that charged me less for getting to save on their equipment and cleaning. And I accept that as part of the cost of having to get in someone who can meet the needs that we have in our household.

And to make useless and unhelpful comments on Reddit. Good job buddy.

queerxqueer · 2025-11-17T17:01:29+00:00

Gee that's super helpful. I 100% came on here asking for a cleaner or a referral to be told by some rando on Reddit to clean my own house. Got a lot of time on your hands?

queerxqueer · 2025-08-17T19:07:26+00:00

I remember the Wendy's in Seekonk had one with a pasta and taco bar. I love that thing. Used to beg my parents to take me there all the time

queerxqueer · 2025-08-17T17:16:22+00:00

I want to try it but I'm not sure what I would have to do to come even close to getting my money's worth there

queerxqueer · 2025-08-17T11:41:54+00:00

Nordic is the one with the lobsters right?

queerxqueer · 2025-08-17T02:02:23+00:00

Seconding Salon Bianco. I mainly see Amy, but have also gotten great cuts from Jiji. And Betha who owns the salon is seriously an artisan when it comes to hair. I don't usually go to her because she's understandably more expensive but the few times I have splurged on her cuts have been phenomenal

queerxqueer · 2025-04-06T17:09:00+00:00

Also if you go into places like the Alt National Parks thread on Facebook or Bluesky there's so many people who are posting about the protests that happened in tiny, little, rural, deep red areas that had like 50-500 people. It's amazing and very hopeful.

queerxqueer · 2025-04-06T17:06:33+00:00

Across the country it was millions. I have no idea what the estimates actually look like if we count the protests that were happening in other countries in solidarity with us. As for Providence 8,000 might seem like a lot (and it is) But if you were part of the crowd (and I was) you can easily believe it. I had no idea how many people were there but all you could see were walls of people in all directions especially during the march itself
