A paper you have to go outside for.
Monthly, two dollars, printed on newsprint, carried by shops around Providence who keep what they take for it.
Where to get it
Stacks go out by hand and get swapped for fresh ones about once a month. Shops run out. If a pile is gone, that is the system working.

By mail
Not in Providence, or not going outside: we will mail it to you.
US addresses only. Payment is taken by Stripe; we see your name and mailing address and nothing else.
The writing is in the paper. It is now also here, a reversal this newspaper argued against and lost, to itself, in one afternoon. The stacks remain the point — a thing you can read anywhere is a thing nobody picks up, and we would still rather you went outside.
This site tells you where the stacks are, what an ad costs, when the next one lands, and now, regrettably, what the paper says.
Subscribe
One email a month, on the first, telling you the new issue has landed and where the stacks are. That is the whole newsletter.
There is no list service behind this. Your address is emailed to the paper's own inbox, a person adds it to a plain list, and nothing else happens to it. Nobody is scoring you, tagging you, or watching whether you opened it.
To stop, write back and say so. It is the same inbox and the same person.
Separately, one piece a day runs free on the paper's Substack, quackerygazette.substack.com. That list is Substack's, not this one.

One thing travels with your address: the page your browser says you came from, if it says. It arrives in the same email and goes no further.
