Hi! I’m never on here but wanted to pop in to share some ✨personal updates✨!
I have a new job: I’m the first-ever Democracy Editor at @SpotlightPA! Spotlight is an independent, nonpartisan newsroom that reports on state gov. + important issues.
I was also featured in a lovely series from the @PhillyInquirer that highlights different communities. I got to nerd out and talk about sewing in Philly and it was so special. 💜

Read and listen ⬇️
Community, self-care and nature — these are some of the things that a Philly-based women’s hiking group focuses on.
One member called it "a sisterhood built on healing and nature."

Maybe you take the El on a daily basis, maybe you take it every once in a while. The line has evolved throughout the decades and it turns 100 this week.
Check out @meirrinde's fascinating exploration of the line's history:

Monuments say so much about who we are, the history we decide to uphold, the people we want to remember.
WHYY Digital Studios' new podcast explores the Rocky statue in Philly and by extension, the significance of monuments and what they mean to us.
Listen to the trailer now:
“If we see that the game is going in our direction, then we’ll activate, and we’ll be ready to go.”
Philly is ready to clean up if/when the Phillies win and fans head to the streets to celebrate.
Philly is heading into a potentially celebratory — and messy — week, as the Phillies come back for their first home game of the World Series Monday.
All that spirit can mean a lot of trash, and city sanitation workers are ready.
