Pretty Graphic

@PhillyInquirer trying to tell me how to get rid of belly fat when even their expert on staff says spot training isn't a thing. Is this news? Is this the best you can do? So gross.

@silviamg Another amazing cover! ❤️❤️❤️

@hels Hear me out: this, but a snuggie

@hels Wow, y’all are so encouraging! I just started @isshethintho with a first entry from, who else, Sally Rooney. Follow and let me know how the book you’re currently reading let you know the MC is, indeed, thin. 😂

@hels I want to start a twitter account called Don’t Worry She’s Thin and only tweet the specific sentence from every book that tells you that the heroine is slim. It’s always in there somewhere!

@BookRiot I feel like Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots might be a good match for the accountant at the end of the show 😌

Come get some more holiday book recommendations! 🎉ow.ly/run350H4eBv

@jduffyrice “The context of my statement was obviously Christian Europe.” I’m gonna go ahead and assume that’s also the context of EVERYTHING HE’S EVER SAID. 😬😬😬

@Karnythia If someone describes their kids as "basically angels," I can pretty much guarantee their children throw sand in other kids' eyes and the parent never intervenes.

I want to fight her. $100 a week for 40 hours? The audacity

@thestackspod_ The Yield by Tara June Winch 👍👍👍

What’s everybody reading today?

@PhillyMayor cant wait to see you step up and help these people. #stopthesweeps #campjtd

@PhillyMayor Try harder, my friend. Help these folks. And in the meantime, #StopTheSweeps . Then call off the cops, before they get intimidated by a tent pole and pepper spray everyone.

However, the activity we are seeing now at the camps is unacceptable and unsustainable. We are currently assessing all of our options while continuing to reach out to those who need help or shelter and connect them to services.

For many weeks, our administration has been working with the encampment residents to safely connect them to services and alternative housing options. In total, more than 130 campers have accepted temporary housing, rapid rehousing, safe haven, and treatment.

@PhillyMayor Seen you repeat the same tired temporary solution for people who need real problems for months. These aren’t the words of someone trying to offer real change, they’re talking points for wealthy white folks.

Today, we planned to make another attempt to connect people to services. Outreach workers and clergy members came to offer alternative housing, but protest leaders blocked access to the camps. They erected barricades, held up shields, and threatened violence and destruction.

It’s #NationalReadABookDay, so what are you reading?

@silviamg Well deserved—it’s an amazing book!

@ASlavitt And fix shower water pressure! Don’t forget about the water pressure, it’s vital!

Two political strategies. One side: Take accountability for the pandemic Bring the economy back Reestablish alliances Provide economic support & jobs Other side: Slow down the mail

@PhilaParkandRec what kind of fundraising will it take to equip spray grounds to turn on when they are supposed to? Because I will do it. #hotkidsummer #isnt2020badenough

@PhillyMayor @PHLPublicHealth Are people catching covid-19 at the beach, or at parties/bars/restaurants at the beach?

Based on contact tracing findings, @PHLPublicHealth recommends: ✅Avoid social gatherings of any size—even with family. ✅Avoid travel to the beach. ✅If you have symptoms, stay away from everyone. inquirer.com/health/coronav…

@PPDCommish @PhillyMayor why were protesters filmed at the Student Union Rally? Where is that footage kept? What is it used for? Surely you can see how bad this looks—find it and destroy it. Then account for the behavior of the PPD.

@billy_penn I’m very curious to hear, from the SWAT officers’ perspectives, why they chose to their weapons at that particular moment. What changed? Why there?

The Philadelphia SWAT officer seen pulling down protesters’ masks and pepper spraying them on the Vine Street Expressway will face charges including simple assault and official oppression inquirer.com/news/richard-n…
