In North Philadelphia and certain parts of South Philadelphia, Latino/a immigrants have reshaped the city's commerce through "deliver[ing] vital goods, services, and cultural landmarks," thereby revitalizing the city writes @stefania101 https://t.co/YGyIRFaxo2

It's been a productive day so far. I received solid feedback and recommendations about a deliverable, helped some QE peeps with a coding dilemma, met up with a friend who lives out of state, and was gifted a free lunch at Pret.

I should play the lottery before my luck runs out.

The best place to relax is near water.

After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.

Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

Here's your Monday reminder to go on a hike if you need to disconnect and feel inspired. It worked for me. Maybe it'll work for you!

In parts of Puebla, the scale of the city reminds me of South Philly.

#Puebla

[Stephanie Rivera-Kumar 🌵💥 @stefania101]

In late December 2023, I was in Puebla on a doctoral research trip funded by @CSERI_UPenn and @CLALS_UPENN and captured some photos of places that make me ask myself, "Is this Puebla or is this Philly?" I can see why Poblanos migrate to Philly.

[Stephanie Rivera-Kumar 🌵💥 @stefania101]

Did you know Puebla was originally known as the "City of Angels"? Images of angels can be found throughout the city like the ones painted on the building in the photo.
