@SEPTA_SOCIAL Thanks!

@SEPTA_SOCIAL aloha! I heard an announcement about 25% off passes, but didn't catch it all. I can't find anything on the website. What's the sitch?

While we're mostly stuck at home, and while #SaveTheUSPS is trending, I'd like to mention I answer every letter I'm sent.

I sent my 481st letter (since living in Philly) today and would love to send more.

Message for my address.

@AmPhilSociety Very cool! Maybe something @cgpgrey might get a kick out of?

As a bonus, there's a new @99piorg @romanmars episode about Anguilla's independence movement and flag: https://t.co/Zn7qBfm7EH

What a way to celebrate the anniversary!

Apparently it's been ten years since I founded /r/vexillology (375,000 subscribers!) - user ZombieJockeyGames made this flag to celebrate:

#vexillology #flag

[2/2]
The Reddit upvote/downvote arrows have also been incorporated into this design. There is also a gold hoist in the flag with a sheet band, taken from the flag of the September 2014 contest winner, u/faro91

@thejimoleary Two things: least important was that I got tired of an uphill battle against myself and my equipment. More important is that I left to go around the world (currently in 🇹🇳). I do hope to bring it back when I return to Philadelphia later this year.

For those of you who like free books: in a few hours, two more of Agatha Christie's books, an HG Wells, a Melville, and Mark Twain's Autobiography will become public domain. Happy 2020!

Every conversation over the past two days:

Me: "do you have WiFi?"
Them: "do you have an Egyptian sim?"
Me: "no, but I have international data."
Them: "then why do you need WiFi?"
Me: *gives any reason*

@Fadina I'm in Cairo now! 😄

The genius next to me is taking flash photos of the pyramids from cruising altitude at night. He's miffed that the photos come out as reflected white blobs.

Tbilisi friends - it's been a fun four months (!?) but it's time for me to move along. ✈️✈️✈️

I'll spend my last few hours in the city at the Couchsurfing meetup - come say adios!
