Welp. I guess this is my Irish Goodbye from Twitter. It has become more of a drag than a joy. I will miss screaming into the void with all 12 of you. Support reproductive rights! Punch nazis! Protect trans folks! Be gay, do crime! Eat the rich! Find me @Musikfest! Buy me a beer!

@LVwithLove Is that the literal Fountain Hill Wawa?

@TShortell @MollyBilinski @Musikfest @LVNewsdotcom Jokes aside, I always take a water bottle so I can fill it at the fire hydrant water fountain near the Monocacy on Main Street or at Steelstacks.

With @Musikfest just around the corner, I'm looking for tips and hacks to make Festing simpler and cheaper. Your advice may be featured in an upcoming @LVNewsdotcom story.

@TShortell @MollyBilinski @Musikfest @LVNewsdotcom Drill a hole in the inside of your insulated Musikfest mug so you can secretly fit 2x the beer in there. (This is a Morning Call deep cut. I hope Spencer Sooner is doing well and that he hasn’t succumbed to ink poisoning from marinating meat in newspaper delivery bags!)

Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be going towards rental assistance for those at-risk of eviction and local shelters through a partnership between United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley and the PPL Foundation. @UnitedWayGLV @PPLCorp wdiy.org/wdiy-headlines…

Women see other women get abused and they create shelters, organizations and movements to protect themselves. Men see other men get abused and they laugh, joke and belittle those men. You won’t see one because you are waiting for women to do all the work as usual

After six years, it's easy to take for granted the fact that I know my authentic self, that I don't have to spend my life in hiding, mired in fear and self-hatred, forced to perform the gender identity that society assigned to me. But it is, in fact, a miracle. 1/

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, this history means a lot to me. I am so grateful that I could take the time to write our website's first series featuring these amazing stories. Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Good morning to everyone except, #JusticeClarenceThomas!

@hillarykwiatek @jmrittle @realwestband It’s a pretty funny image though. Calling public works because our jaunty little sewer caps are set askew on the street.

@jmrittle @realwestband I realize now that what I said was SEWER caps, not storm caps, my brain was a bit fried last night....

The stormwater came down the mountain so ferociously that multiple manhole covers popped on Brodhead Avenue tonight. I called 911 to report it. I was so stunned I forgot the words manhole covers and called them storm caps until @realwestband corrected me. 🤣

“Persiflage” lol! Someone has a thesaurus!

After a month’s work, my Lehigh Valley LGBTQ history series is FINALLY done 😄 Part 1 is out today, and it’s about the earliest known LGBTQ organization in the Lehigh Valley. Here's a sneak peak of the archival material I collected for this piece. @LVNewsdotcom

Just getting started with Rivermouth: A Chronicle of Language, Faith, and Migration by @olivalejandra_ . I ordered it from @PilsenCommBooks and you should, too!
