@br00t4c This is whom Trump will have onstage at his next rally. Probably in front of dozens at Broad & Erie/Germantown Ave. Where he'll have to compete with folks waiting for the 23,56 and 16 buses,and folks going into the subway. And the smell of cheesesteaks at Max's.
I’m thrilled to announce that I will be moving to #Philadelphia for a fellowship at the American Philosophical Society, where I will continue working on locating, building, and analyzing a corpus of #Tunica language documentation, as well as gathering all information I can on the history and culture of the Tunica-Biloxi people.
Coalition of Workers at Penn, of all of the unions that represent workers at Penn — not only academic workers involved in teaching and research but also food-service workers, sanitation workers, librarians, research and administrative staff, and resident advisors.
#Philadelphia jurors hit #ExxonMobil with a $725.5 million verdict for failing to warn that the company’s #gasolina contained #benzene, a #toxic chemical linked to a car mechanic's leukemia.
Apparently I stopped one day short of covering all my photos from the Philadelphia plant show! Probably because my kid had an entry in this category, which is also hard to photograph. Miniature gardens/landscapes, which covers a range of approaches. Info in alt-text; 2nd post to follow.
Here's my daughter's entry, which also had a lot less building, but above-average creativity. She was inspired by the mosaic lizard in Gaudi's gardens in Barcelona (photo in the half of the photos I haven't posted, but link here: https://wanderingtrader.com/travel-photos/parc-guell-lizard-barcelona/) and built a two-tiered planter with lizard and bowl.
@br00t4c Israel bans Al Jazeera before it 'sweeps' Rafah, Israeli trained American policemen do the same with their 'undesirables' from a so-called 'Control Zone' in Philly.......
"Penn asked the #Philadelphia Police Department for immediate help to disband the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, a source familiar told The Daily Pennsylvanian.
Hey #philadelphia, utlitity shutoffs have been allowed again about a month ago.
Cutting off people's access to water, heating/cooling, and electricity will not make it easier for them to pay their bills but it will make their lives more dangerous.
Much to the dismay of my NY friends, I occasionally refer to #Philadelphia as the 6th borough. Seems like some locals are sensing that sentiment too and are not very pleased.

This reminds me of 1984 Orwellian doublespeak. "War is Peace", Freedom is Slavery", "Location Clean-up". Linguistic manipulation meant to conceal the dark truth of their actions.
With Mayor Parker’s new pressure to remove people, any plan to force people into “treatment or jail” decisions hinges on District Attorney Larry Krasner’s discretion. The de facto policy right now doesn’t push jail time for simple drug possession.
It will an honor to be on the panel with Ramnarayan Rawat and Disha Wadekar for Ambedkar Jayanti event on Thursday, April 18. I will talk about the phenomenon of Instagram reels dedicated to Dr Ambedkar and what role, if at all, they play in the anti-caste movement. Do come if you live in #Philadelphia.
Anyway, kid's birthday involved making terrariums at spiffy local shop Pretty Green Terrariums. Fairly involved, makes a closed system with a few bugs to ... balance... I dunno. Was hovering outside. Neat components, teens were very engrossed, products varied a lot with personalities. Highly recommend for groups, couples, or any plant-lovers!
