Confused by PA’s judicial elections and the whole weird, bizarre “retention” thing? Here’s a handy guide from the Philly Bar Association on who to vote for today!

Picked up @timqueeney.bsky.social’s new book ROPE from @maveybooks.bsky.social. So looking forward to cracking this one open! Looks really good.

While DE school districts are smack in the middle of hiring and recruitment season, the state’s jobs portal - joindelawareschools.org - has apparently expired.

Whoops …

Pleased to share my next book project:
 
PHILADELPHIA’S FIGHTING FLEET:
WAR STORIES OF 25 SHIPS FROM AMERICA’S FIRST NAVY YARD
 
It’ll have stories from WW II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War about the ships built in Philly and their crews.

Sometimes I think the weather apps are just fucking with us.

It’s book cover time! JOE BIDEN’S DELAWARE is out October 14.

Folks, preorders matter a lot. They can make the difference between a book that is forgotten or gets a second printing. Place your order wherever you buy books. Independent bookstores are the best, but do what works for you - and thanks.

70% of workers are eager to apply for jobs that post the pay.

The number jumps to +80% for workers 18-24.

The math is simple. Post the pay.

Great to spot myself on the bookshelf next to my former boss!
