I know that I am WAAAAY behind on real housewives Atlanta but like in the rewatch, they need to realize that adding new people is better than adding old drama people

When will they learn not to mix business and friendship??

critical support to the people opening the hydrants in the mayor’s neighborhood to fuck her water pressure
Strike stress When the mayor left her Northwest Philadelphia home Tuesday morning, the first signs she saw of the strike were fire hydrants spewing water into the air. "I remember looking, saying, 'Wow, like, what's the fire hydrant on both sides of the street doing on?" Parker said. "I was then notified that we had collected footage and video of a car pulling over the top of the block, person jumping out, turning on the fire hydrant." Quickly opening hydrants causes sudden changes in water pressure that can damage pipes. Parker said she was told "that was occurring in different neighborhoods across the city, and that the strategy behind that, which is reckless, is to hope that the city of Philadelphia's water pressure ... is lower."

hello philadelphia, people who work in philadelphia, even people who want to come to philadelphia for the world cup but don’t like the smell of trash, consider supporting DC33 in their fight for a fair contract!!!!!!!
= The Inquirer SUBSCRIBE > $1 for 6 months Though it is the largest city workers union, it is also the lowest-paid of Philadelphia's four major municipal unions, with members earning about $46,000 a year on average. It is also the only union of the big four in which a majority of its members are Black, The Inquirer previously reported. Call and email Mayor Parker and top City officials to demand they give DC33 workers a fair contract. Calling City officials shows the City you are paying attention and support workers. It also makes it harder for officials to coordinate breaking the strike.

Fun Philly strike update from a city worker: “the office of the mayor has changed their number to 215-686-2181 because of overwhelming calls in support of DC33.”

In Lille and it's lovely.

You could go to Belgium but they have all the popular Belgian beers here too and it's cheaper (I think?)

But also, the best thing is seeing BrewDog merch like bar mats and stuff but nothing from them on tap

I have a friend in his mid-30s who reads and talks about it on his profile, and one time he was out of town for a week and had to go on eight dates in ten days when he was back to deal with his Hinge backlog

It's absurd for me to be giving advice at all but I firmly believe that if you were a man with a dating profile that is like "my hobbies are having close relationships with my own friends and being involved in my community" women would go insane. they'd attack your house.

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

Text from someone I met on Tinder. English is not their first language but damn... "My requirements are very high. We must have a good conversation with each other and generate some positive energy resonance so that everyone can have a better experience of getting along."

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this
🧪👩‍🔬
There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

"The murder justice outlaw is too sexy. How can we address this?"

"Ah-HA! He made a SEX TAPE. Better share that news with everyone."

"Oh no! Now everybody thinks he's EVEN SEXIER???"

(ps don't look for the sex tape, don't watch private intimate videos without the consent of everyone involved)

I'm watching alongside Illinoisans what's happening in our country right now with dread.

The authoritarian playbook is laid bare: they point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.

What comes next?
