White marble statue of Benjamin Franklin in classical robes, holding a scepter, set within an arched niche on a red brick building facade. The plinth reads 'B. FRANKLIN'

Alright Philly, it's 6:30 AM. We all saw nothing, right? Ben's back on his plinth at the Library Company, looking perfectly stoic. Good morning to our favorite historically animated resident.

Death Did Not Silence Her: The Murder of Zona Heaster Shue A mother’s visions, a broken neck, and the only murder case in U.S. history where a ghost helped convict the killer

The only U.S. murder case where a ghost testified. In 1897, Zona Heaster Shue was found dead. Her mother said Zona’s ghost revealed the truth—and a jury believed it. I dug deep into the records. Here’s the real story. bit.ly/4dgApNz

Interior of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, showing the Assembly Room where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated. The room features green-covered tables, wooden chairs, tall windows with green drapes, two fireplaces, and a central chandelier.

On this day in 1787 in Philadelphia, delegates convene a Constitutional Convention to write a new Constitution for the United States. That chair at the back center? Yes, that one. George Washington sat there, presiding over the debates. #philadelphia #onthisday #may14

Rusty iron gate with peeling paint blocks entry to a long, narrow hallway in the hospital wing of Eastern State Penitentiary. The corridor beyond is lined with decaying stone walls, barred doors, and a vaulted skylight that lets in shafts of daylight. A padlock secures the gate, and layers of age and neglect are visible throughout the scene.

The locked gate to the hospital wing at Eastern State Penitentiary. Once used to treat inmates with tuberculosis, injuries, and mental illness, the wing is now only accessible by guided tour. Al Capone had his tonsils removed here in 1929.

The Widow by Charles Napier Hemy (1895) - about to tell the bees that her husband and the little boy's father has died.

When the head of a family who keeps bees, dies, it is usual ..to repair to the hives, and, gently tapping them, to say, "Bees, bees, awake! Your Master is dead; And another you must take." Otherwise the bees would either all die, or fly away.

(Gents Mag, Hants, 1810) #LegendaryWednesday

I feel this so hard. The ideas won’t stop but the energy definitely does. It’s a brutal kind of creativity. So much vision, never enough bandwidth.

Daaaamn. I can hear the Kendrick Lamar / SZA concert inside my house with all the windows closed and I'm 2 miles away. 🤣

Sorry kid, I'm the ether Bunny

Morning

Pisces – Dreams bleed into reality. Again. Don’t sleep near water. Or mirrors. Or under full moons. Just… don’t.

Aquarius – Your ideas are wild. Maybe too wild. That rune-covered box? Stop poking it. It’s blinking now.

Capricorn – You’re climbing steadily—but are you sure this isn’t a cursed corporate ladder? Or a haunted mine shaft?

Sagittarius – Wanderlust strikes. So does that 3:33 a.m. call from “Unknown.” You answered. You shouldn’t have.

Scorpio – You’re the mystery and the warning. Banshee vibes all week. People might need earplugs. Or holy water.

Libra – You want balance, but the attic door keeps swinging open. Something’s up there. It’s waiting. You’re stalling.

Virgo – You made a perfect to-do list. Mothman checked off three items. Two haven’t happened yet. Uh-oh.

Leo – You’re glowing. Literally. Spirits are drawn to you. Maybe it’s confidence. Maybe it’s a curse.

Cancer – Nostalgia hits hard this week. So does the ghost in your mirror. Time to stop looking back.
