I love that every summer it's just up to good citizens on Instagram to inform us which pools have opened. "No word yet on which pools will open first" because the city likes to make it a ✨surprise✨
oh this is great! not the part about the Paramount having to be closed but the Hogg having movies again. back when I was in school they had free old movies there and at the Union all the time.
Austin Film Festival has announced that it will be adding both the Hogg Memorial Auditorium and the Texas Union Theater on the UT campus to its list of venues. https://t.co/mj2ExGk7wG
happy pride! a bunch of cops in riot gear just showed up to the gayborhood in riot gear swiveling their batons saying “party’s over” and “if you don’t leave there will be no mercy”!! they have everyone on 13th street kettled!!! it was terrifying and horrible
When I walk into a store with a resident cat: delightful, what a nice surprise

My movie club is bringing Revelations of Divine Love to the Philadelphia Ethical Society next Sunday and tickets are going fast--this is by far the biggest venue & the first feature premiere we've done, and the director will be here for a Q&A, so come out! https://t.co/r0SMTNsM0w

I was at my neighborhood organization meeting on Monday, and the East Passyunk street parties for the World Cup are straight up getting denied for closures. after the meeting there was a lively little discussion of alternative ways to close a street https://t.co/yhsMGRCiub
I think all the time about how much I wish Philly had a Hell Gate to cover city government and I also get compliments all the time on my Hell Gate cap that came with upgrading my subscription...will be attending this (but not wearing the hat, that would be corny)
May 28th at the @PenPencilClub! I'll be talking to @MaxRivlinNadler of @HellGateNY about starting a local news co-op and his brief stint living on a porch in Philly. Don't miss it!!
One of them--and I'm sorry if this is cat doxxing--was named Beef (we'd met before) and so my friend and I got to both spontaneously sing "feelin' like a Beef on a leash"
