Nearly two dozen of you (!!!) have submitted a SEPTA story via my website since I first issued the call last week. I’m proud to share the first (of many) stories today.

Your experiences matter. We’re showing the Senate Delco won’t back down: We deserve public transportation!

Same. My city's "special mental health cop" was a brute who accused me and a friend of lying that our bipolar friend wasn't on meth when we called the non-emergency line for help as he underwent a crisis. They left without helping. The next morning he'd broken into a business & was arrested.

My 71yo uncle was showing me photos on his iPad yesterday and I noticed he's on Bumble 😄 I want to tell him I encourage and support this, but am worried he will be embarrassed if I blow up his spot... any opinions?

If you decided to leave something outside your congressman’s office to show him how much you resent his support for the Trump admin’s 50% cut to the Dept of Education’s workforce, what would that something be?

I’m embarrassed for you. You thought you saw an opportunity to frame yourself as better than the rest, but what you actually did was lick the boots of the people working to oppress your constituents. You are not brave or tactful, you are a coward who disappointed all of us. You’re weak.

Ugh, not surprised to hear this. He strikes me as an entitled brat in adult form, too wrapped up in maintaining a certain image to be curious about the world around him.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social angers me at least once a week with his flippancy on Up First. He is so unserious and he shouldn't be reporting if he can't give us the integrity we deserve.

Interjections Are, Uh, More Important than We Thought Utterances like um, wow and mm-hmm aren’t garbage—they keep conversations flowing

@jimmycthatsme.bsky.social I was just reading this article and it occurred to me that good filmmakers (like you) have already been taking this into consideration when you write dialogue for your characters www.scientificamerican.com/article/inte...

I had to abandon my morning routine of listening to Up First while doing my makeup bc I can no longer tolerate Steve Inskeep bending over backwards to normalize every goddamn facet of this coup

That is SO COOL!! You guys did a PHENOMENAL job fighting back against Moms Against Liberty, you basically gave a roadmap for winning to school districts across the state... is that what the film is about?

I had a case of norovirus a few years ago and it was the worst pain I've ever had, it is relentless! Hope your tummy is done fighting you.

Since 2016 I've been reading every article & essay about changing MAGA minds that crosses my path... It is an *immense* time investment to get just one person to snap out of the MAGA mindset, and if they smell just a hint of shaming you're back to square one!

“Gentlemen Broncos” is an example of how a movie can have an awesome cast and writers but still turn out to be incredibly boring

...all I needed to do was lose about 15 pounds. (I think I was a size 8 or 10 at the time & was running for exercise ~3x/week, normal BP & cholesterol.) Wouldn't even re-test me. The thing is, Dr. Mueller's daughters had eating disorders & he was known for keeping a lock on their refrigerator door.
