I’ve had enough extra time during this Riverhounds playoff run. Don’t need anymore. Let’s just go straight to penalties. 😫

What happened to PA's promise of community mental health care After a period of psychiatric hospital closures and investment in community support, Pennsylvania has shifted focus to the most restrictive care possible.

While you're all here, if you want to read some actual journalism, this is the second story in my series about the collapse of the mental health care system in Pennsylvania. I'm really proud of it.

I laughed. I think the NWSL format makes it more exciting than Champions League because of the latter’s two-legged knockout rounds with several weeks between them.

I was going to make a soccer tweet, but I see it will be lost in a sea of game 7 tweets. Either way, hope the Hounds can win these penalties.

A #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatch that’s a half new releases and half Halloween watches, three were new to me, and all of them have a lot to appreciate.

No disrespect to the older USWNT midfielders, but at least on Thursday, they lacked the dynamism of these younger players. Love the early Moultrie brace!

I don’t mind a beyond/impossible burger in like a cookout setting, but I hate that they’re crowding out actual veggie burgers.

First concert: Billy Joel, Civic Arena, 1999

Last concert: Hand Habits, the Warhol, tonight

Best concert: It might be recency bias, but I really think it was David Byrne at the Benedum two weeks ago.
