Safe consumption sites not with the goal of sanitizing public spaces, but safe consumption sites because people who use drugs deserve better, they deserve community and comfort and safety, to be loved not judged, and they deserve to fucking live.

How is there one of those new Wonder ghost kitchens on like EVERY FUCKIN CORNER IN PHILLY NOW. They are like a fucking virus but they all popped up seemingly overnight it’s so weird and seems completely unsustainable as a business model??

If I’m doing any kind of proper shopping trip in center city, an essential and important stop is getting a $1.50 bag of dark chocolate peanut chews and laffy taffy from 5 Below.
Doing an afternoon of multi store clothes searching/shopping? Protein + chocolate snack! Like I can’t do it without.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

Back offline for me, I remain in the fight and will continue. I know that many of you are too because this is a fight for our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the lives of strangers. Each of those lives matters. Take care of yourselves and I will be back online later next week. Peace to you.

Question, Philly! In the case of a DC33 strike, bringing our own trash to the sanitation center, is that scabbing? If there’s a strike, we doin’ it like the Simpsons?
(I do wish that I’d brought my current, very smelly trash bag with old wet cat food in it to the drop off center late last week lol)

An actual nightmare. These cuts will cause so much pain for so many people in our city if implemented. We badly need to EXPAND public transit, not defund it!!!
BREAKING: The SEPTA board voted Thursday to dramatically cut service and raise fares by more than 20% to deal with a major budget deficit.

even putting aside that the promise of "the help they need" is completely uninformed, vague, and impossible under current structures...

I get being paranoid, but don’t necessarily attribute malice to what can be explained by ignorance/naïveté. Is a local No Kings protest “working with police” or “an op” or did they request a permit cuz they thought they had to? Is a sign up sheet for “doxxing”, or cuz a nonprofit wants to email you?
