Pittsburgh Matt

friendly reminder to PICK UP YOUR FILM NEGATIVES‼️

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Ok this one is good though: “The only reason I still visit X is because all of the Pittsburgh sports reporters are too racist to move to BlueSky.”

“If I only I lived in the asshole of Fetterman country and ate three square meals of diabetes every day! Then I might be cool like you guys!“

ouch

The “potential” savings mentioned amount to less than 0.03% of the city budget. I get it’s important to be thrifty in this environment, but I prefer my trash in the landfill and not on my curb

More units are needed, and we can’t sacrifice new builds to the developers who will continue to make financial products from them. “Ruin their investment” doesn’t mean “give developers our open wallets,” rather it’s the govt that should be stepping in here to build and better control subsidy

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The government should build housing but good this time (not bad)

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

The Cathedral of Learning backlit by the setting sun. A sun beam rests gently on a pleasant scene at Flagstaff Hill, part of a park in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. Photo taken on Fujifilm 200 I think.

Oakland, a Pittsburgh neighborhood. The skyline is backlit by the setting sun. The sunset is golden and pretty, the buildings dark against it. Photo taken on Fujifilm 200 I think.

Cathy is looking fiiiiiiiiine

why think “we could’ve had Conor lamb” when you can think “we could’ve had Malcolm Kenyatta”

Other cities: “We have a housing crisis. We’ve tried inclusionary zoning. We’ve tried land banks. What if we just taxed the rich and built housing with the money?”

Pittsburgh: “developers, here’s my wallet. my social security number is in there too if you want it”

I think a nice lotion will solve all men’s problems

Pirates prospect Iverson Allen goes by ‘The Question,’ loves practice, and models his game after the Sixers legend The outfielder from Panama is only 17 but sees some similarities to the basketball Hall of Famer. He plays baseball with a comparable swagger.

He goes by "The Question," loves practice, and models his game after the Sixers great.

today's a great day to make sure "require alt text before posting" is enabled in your settings and to continue to make bluesky more accessible and inclusive bsky.app/settings/acc...

PRT alerts you are a godsend (also open streets was sick, we love safe transit modes)
