In Philly, looking outside my window: “Oh, I didn’t realize Ragnarok was in the forecast for today”

[Lou Huang @saikofish]

honestly why even watch two old dudes try to talk over each other for 2 hours in an empty auditorium THIS IS WHAT I WANTED.

[Kara LaFleur @KaraLaFleur]

Meant to make a breakfast burrito for dinner, but over-toasted my tortilla & ended up making what is essentially Tortilla Brei instead. And it’s actually pretty good, lol.

As traffic reopens in Philadelphia, it's time to rethink how we use our shared and public spaces. Cities should be made for people, not cars! https://t.co/eMEvbYOeHI via @pamasaur & @bcgp

Filed under: What even IS time?! https://t.co/xy04Cx7yVc suggests that time is actually a spiral, accounting for both its linear progression and cyclical nature (seasons, days, etc), both moving forward AND repeating. Also relevant to the groundhog day experience of #Quarantime

It wouldn’t be a road trip without an ice cream pit stop. Pleased to report that people seem to be #MaskUp for the most part (including me, obvi!) 🥰🍦 🛣 😷 #LongWayHome @ Milford Dairy Bar https://t.co/iJ5njcPLxL

Officially proposing "What did you learn this week?" to replace the "How are you?" in greetings. Also, all about the forearm shake or forearm bump to replace handshakes/ fistbumps.

@PhillyMayor & Council President @Darrell_Clarke the proposed budget in its current form does not accurately reflect the very real need for Community & Mental Health based needs in the region. I'm calling on you to #DefundThePolice and redirect that money to #FundOurCommunities

[Mjumbe Poe @mjumbewu]

Police portion of @PHLCouncil budget hearings just started. Managing director @bgabernathy started with a statement recognizing need of him and the rest of the administration to do better. https://t.co/5D109eqNCh

[Christie Ileto @Christie_Ileto]

Organizers of tonight’s demonstration in Fishtown say they had permission from the city to do this, but NOT to make it permanent. @PhillyFireDept started washing it away, and will likely be back overnight. Discussions are in the works to move message to a more permanent location.

[Kara LaFleur @KaraLaFleur]

Saw a lot of press coverage about the mural in front of the 26th District police station; is anyone covering the fact that firefighters are now power washing it off? Reportedly for “safety concerns”

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

I have no idea who did this, but if you know, find them and tag them. One of the best things I’ve seen on this app this week

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Real change requires protest to highlight a problem, and politics to implement practical solutions and laws. As I mentioned yesterday in our @MBK_Alliance town hall, there are several steps our mayors and elected officials can take right now:

[Dain Saint @dainsaint]

Today, I’m joining my colleagues of color at the @PhillyInquirer and calling in sick and tired.

Things need to change. We call on The Inquirer to do better. To be better.

Here is the open letter we sent our newsroom leadership yesterday:

@PhillyMayor CORRECTION: "Police allowing **WHITE** residents to stay (ignoring the curfew order). Better shut that shit down; the idea of different rules for different folks is what got us into this mess in the first goddamned place. #NoJusticeNoPeace

[Ed Barkowitz @edbarkowitz]

Police allowing residents to stay, but imploring them to call 911 if something “doesn’t look right”..don’t get hurt over something stupid like a tv
