Why were most of the cyclists in this photo wearing masks in November 1977? Was it to avoid breathing polluted air?
If so, thank goodness we have the EPA now; I hope we can address modern threats to air quality, like climate change related wildfires, rather than giving up and letting the air become difficult to breathe again.
Deescalation seems to be working at #Penn's #Gaza solidarity encampment, though university police continue to issue advisories.
After university and city cops were out in major numbers this morning, "there has been a notable decrease in the number of police and University administrators present," according to the Daily Pennsylvanian at 2:45 EDT.
Hey, #Philly: maybe put this event on your calendar! I'll be talking to Sal Goldenberg on May 3 at A Novel Idea on Passyunk Avenue about her new book The Last Phi Hunter, asking her questions about bookcraft (including Thai folklore and ghosts) and publishing. I'd love to see you there!
@IveyJanette The shockwave felt like a brief windstorm when it reached Philadelphia. I was listening to WPRB Princeton at the time, and the DJ found it barely remarkable.
PATCO suspended service for quick inspections but already resumed.
@swaggboi@ChristosArgyrop I’ve tried ordering #Tastykakes a few times after moving from #Philly to Houston, just for a reminder of home.
Unfortunately, the quality of their signature products (Kandy Kakes, baked pies, and my beloved Krimpets—butterscotch or jelly) has been on a decline since they sold out to an out-of-state company.

EV folks, I live in #Philly. My car just catastrophically failed today. There is an affordable Nissan Leaf I want but the charging stations are kind of a pain to get to and I live in an apartment complex. I think I can run an extension cord out to charge the car, however its not certain. There are some electric chargers at work but there is no guarantee that they will be available. There appears to be adapters for Tesla chargers that can do fast charge but I can't tell if they only convert to level 2 or not.
We are trying to weigh if its worth the annoyance or not. what do you think?
Friend and I have a game where we send each other pictures of food items we see on the ground. I'd been kicking her ass for years and now she's in #Philly for the weekend and completely blown me out of the water #jawns
I finished my first ever half marathon yesterday! The #LOVERUN was perfect! Nice and flat, and I beat my goal by 13 minutes!! Training really paid off! #running#Philly#gay
