Yeah. I was happy once.

Philadelphia booster. Generalist. Cities, news, nature, horticulture - ah, gimme all the cultures.

She/Her
Yep. They filmed Task 'round these here parts. There isn't a river or creek without some Japanese Knotweed. Maybe the next episode will feature a Spotted Lanternfly.

If you see something, say something. So proud of my congresswoman, @repdean.bsky.social , for her good work and her no nonsense take on important issues - here the fitness of the president.

Go Madeleine, go.
Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

I've been waiting months for this. Last time, the farmers got all the collected tariffs + add'l funds so tariffs burdened taxpayers twice (cost of goods and then fed payments to farmers). This time should be interesting with the added pressure of the shutdown of USAID and fedschool food assistance.
Brooke Rollins: "Soybean, corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton farmers are facing very difficult times. We are currently in conversations here at the White House, across the government, on a farmer aid package."

Sure, Jersey sea gulls will eat your lunch, but California gulls are fecking cannibals!

And a smattering of the fine work done there.

And the views inside those buildings!

Oh my. Visited Nakashima Woodworkers in New Hope today, and the various buildings were as spectacular as the furniture. So buildings first.

Whew, made it to the Fabric Workshop and Museum before the August closing of Soft/Cover.

And then the Insides: prints, sculptures, and furniture. Just as Wharton Esherick left it at his death in 1970.

Of course he had his own printing press!

Big mistake to wait 40 years to revisit the Wharton Esherick Museum.
Outsides: crazy-lovely assemblage of vernacular inspired and modern buildings for studio, office, and living.

Was I walking that fast?

Great vid. It's hard to understand the size of the crowd when on the street, so nice to see this.

Hoping to help out again with the 600' flag for today's Pride march.

And so happy to see so many folks on regional rail this morning going to @phillypride365
June 1, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Pride comes early in Philadelphia with a 600' flag making its way through the city.

And, yeah, Rocky . .

I meant to specify Bristol, England. And yeah, I had lunch with Banksy while I was there.
Wha? Nipper of HMV? You mean like RCA, across the river in Camden? I thought Philadelphia was the most desperate - claiming anyone who had walked her streets. But clearly, Bristol wins.

Murals got in the way of my walking tour of barber shops. Bristol. Go figure.
