New tool launch! Make our streets and sidewalks safer and more accessible with LASER VISION: our new tool that makes it easy to report blocked sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes to the Philadelphia Parking Authority. bikeaction.org/laser 📽️⬇️

Philly According To Deb used to always end with Capogiro 😭

This is the main image Friends of Spruce and Pine has on their homepage: a car turning into a bike lane (that is filled with vehicles thanks to the illegal loading) while a child on a bike tries to cross the street.

They are suing the city for adding loading zones and improving bike safety.

Two hand colored postal stickers, the first with an illustration of a purple flower and text “Plant Native! Dwarf crested iris”, the second with an illustration of a cuttlefish and text “Save our seas! Take transit”

Yeah this was my first thought on hearing the news that he picked the name Leo.

excited for an american pope that lives in italy and can talk about the massive benefits to single stair buildings and euro elevator codes making for more accessible, livable, and affordable housing

If Philly had just door dashers on bikes at the same rate as SF, it would remove more than 1 million vehicle miles from our streets per month.

The costs in extra traffic delays and increased road maintenance are easily in the tens of millions.

Today I almost got run over by a car who couldn’t see me in the crosswalk, thanks to this van.

I didn't realize GB could take monthly donations - I thought it was only for one-time donations - so thanks for the heads up!

I went to Seedapalooza 2025, and all I got was a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment 💪🏵️

No, it's not hard to go out and buy native seed packs... after you research what's native (actually native, not just commonly found after being introduced), what's easy to grow (no cold stratification required), find a shop with your local ecotype, etc. This project has done that work for you! 🙌

Hi!! I’m glad you’re here 😀

"Say the city council decides to cut the budget & only pay for “direct” costs for fighting a fire. They’ll pay for the water in the hose, but not the gas in the truck. They’ll pay the salaries for the firemen, but not for the dispatcher who tells them where to go." Indirect cost cuts end research. 👇

"Castor Ave from Oxford Circle to Cottman Ave ranks among the most dangerous streets in Philadelphia. From 2018-22 there were 197 crashes along Castor Avenue, five of which were fatalities."

Yep. I have a grad degree from a medical school. None of the work I’ve done since graduation, on glioblastoma, cardiac imaging, etc would have been possible without it.

Interesting, thanks!!

Sarah I’m not even joking, I saw a similar haircut from a salon in your neighborhood

Partly sun. I don’t think any of my mini yard gets full sun. But yeah definitely gonna try again.

I agree with your message but also I managed to unintentionally kill my milkweed somehow 😖

I really appreciate cool stuff like this on days like today. Creating art and spreading science knowledge is always worth it. 💜🧪

Alright the Science Library is live 🫡

I am both “unenthusiastic about having feelings” and “constitutionally unable to leave well enough alone” 😆 Very excited to see how that works out for them!

I love her 😭

Ugh, another company to avoid. Thanks for the info!

Wait, are you purposely avoiding Trader Joe's? That was one of my Target alternatives.

A teacher emailed me & said "My scientist didn't reply to me. My scientists ALWAYS reply to me! What the heck!".

I was like "Well. Science is kinda crumbling. Friends/colleagues are losing their jobs or at least funding, & some are being told to cease all outside communications".

She hadn't heard.

*sobbing* It's so beauuuutiful

ok but drop em in the group chat 👀
