Mary Jones

One of my favorite kinds of Philly days is when it's sunny out of nowhere and we all amble down to the river with our dogs and books, rubbing our eyes, in need of a haircut, frowning at the dead leaves and sticks like astronauts just landed on a ravaged alien world.

And listen your Granny lied for your Granddaddy's ego, but US census data doesn't give a damn about his feelings. Women have always worked because that's the norm.

“Bosses are laying off Gen X, and honestly, we get it.”

“Bosses are laying off Millennials, and honestly, we get it.”

“Bosses are laying off Gen Z, and honestly, we get it.”

All Deer Go To Heaven

Ooo, I hope it’s something like this!

This episode is 74% talking about Philly, 25% talking about Hollywood Montrose, and 1% talking about Andrew McCarthy, who is basically wall paste.

Dennis Versus the Movies month kicks off with a favorite from Mary’s childhood, the Philadelphia-set romantic comedy about a department-store window-dresser and the five-thousand-year-old Egyptian mummy spends her days as mannequin.

What book would you recommend for someone who has never read the Four Branches of the Mabinogi before? Not a fantasy adaptation and not an actual translation, not a scholarly introduction, but a straight retelling which might iron out some of the difficulties and allow the reader to enjoy the story.

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

I hope the destination is worth the flight.

And here I just assumed it was Evil Dead. Cool kid either way.

I’ll go to bat for Joe Vs the Volcano though.

What’s hotter, this or Wild At Heart? Both?

Sorry, Nic Cage is insanely hot in this. *all my friends yell at me for this*

😍

There’s too much going on, and just acknowledging that means some kid in 2140 clowns on me for the sentiment. Get bent, futurekid.

lol ok

Truthfully, the U.S. adopting breakfast beans would be a great development.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

$5?!?

Philly didn’t get anything but a fantastic show that went till 11:30, so I’m not complaining.
