We still occasionally have YouTube “parties” (if party is very loosely defined to mean a gathering of 4-5 people who take turns selecting music videos to watch on the TV)

Who does pancakes for happy hour? What a delight!

You’ve actually had a person pick up??!!!? In all the times I have called his office I have never, so far as I can recall, talked to a live human being.

At least in PA, to be a petition circulator, you also need to live in the same district that you’re collecting signatures from. Is that the same in NJ?

There is no reforming this brokenness

Use in sandwiches of all kinds: we do tofu prepared this way along with tempeh bacon, hot sauce, and sliced tomato (in season) in breakfast sammies. Or add bbq sauce, either during the bake or after. The possibilities are endless!

Press or pat dry. Slice into eight equal sections. Brush lightly with oil then season with salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic powder, or whatever other seasonings you desire. Bake on a nonstick surface at 400 degrees until it starts to brown and crispy, flipping over at about 15 minutes.

And, I totally agree: those workers have a hard job no matter what. The conditions this week are awful and I really feel for them!

What stinks most about the missed pickup is that the trash people put out (assuming it’s mostly in bags- that’s the case where I live in Fishtown) will get strewn about over the next week because no one will bring it back inside. :/

It’s still early! Maybe the trash truck will come by later? (We didn’t put out either one, it seemed silly to try and balance them on the snow banks)

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

NOT IN MY NAME

ICE ghouls snatched a child, used him as bait, then sent him and his father to a detention facility. This sweet five year old will likely suffer lifelong trauma due to this.

At every chance I get, I will tell this administration, these evil people, NOT IN MY NAME.

President declares his intent to exceed his authority and impose yet another tariff to make things more expensive for Americans, while Congress continues to let their authority be usurped.

Thank you to my rep @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for signing on as a co-sponsor this week.

Oh that’s a bummer! I’m in PA and got tested at LabCorp, sorry that it’s not available where you are. Perhaps also asking whatever lab you’d get your blood draw done to see if they have a different answer about the testing, assuming it’s not at your primary care doc’s location?

Most people I’ve told about this testing don’t even know it’s a thing you can do! (I studied immunology so have some prior knowledge)

I will keep spreading the word.

They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.

I just did this: I requested my doctor put in a lab order for vaccine titer testing. I had blood drawn at the lab and a day later for results. It confirmed that I am in fact immune to measles! Phew.

Also, Trump has the same size feet as a penguin I guess?

Criminal administration carries out another crime.

May the people who are carrying out these heinous actions get the life they deserve

Recent calls list showing calls to Senator Dave McCormick, Senator John Fetterman, and Rep Brendan Boyle. The calls took place between 8:21-8:25am

Hot tip: once you’ve saved your elected officials’ contact info, making quick calls to share your opinions is a breeze! Or if you consistently call them, like I do, just go back into your recent calls list and hit that call button.

Any recommendations for which books of his to start with?
