In and around Philly (PECO service) if you can charge at home either in a garage, driveway, or curbside - you can switch to a Time of Use plan that’s about 4 cents per kWh to charge from 12am - 6am. It’s so ridiculously cheap.

Me, to a random member of the public who called me at work: I’m actually leaving so here’s a phone number Him: oh wow Me: yeah, 19 years is a good run Him: do you have kids? Me: yeah Him: are you gonna stay home and take care of them? Me: what!? No!

NFL owners furiously typing up a proposal to only allow Tush Pushes while in Tush Push formation UNLESS the Tush Push has been voted out.

It’s always temporarily confusing when you hear a long O cheer that sounds like a boo (Deuuuuuuce, Cooooooppo) but when the Eagles make a good tackle and you hear a boo… but you’re away… but it’s Tampa and there are more Eagles fans there than Bucs… It takes a minute

My 7 year old, who is playing in the basement alone, just noticed my laundry being done in the dryer. A small load of white towels, not related to him or his clothes. He took it out and carried it upstairs to me just because “I heard it beep” Yous guys…. 🥹

Was feeling rebellious at the lady doc today. Left my bra on top of the clothes pile. IYKYK

It's the solution to defenses being offsides on 100% of tush pushes.

Nearly all of us (American that is) is closer to being homeless than we are to being a billionaire.

I am 41 years old with a torn labrum of my left hip and zero gymnastics experience. My 7 year old is learning to do a handstand. He begs me to do them too. “Hey Siri, remind me to incessantly beg my child to do handstands in 30 years.”

No, for real, though, here’s my proposal: As soon as you crest into $1 billion, we throw you a party, congratulate you for winning the game, and then we build a bunch of affordable housing and you wake up tomorrow in an apartment with $1000 to your name. When you win the game, it resets.

I have seen three freaking social media posts this week describing a Philly intersection as “Named Street and Numbered Street” and I’m about to start throwing elbows 🤬🤬🤬

There’s a teensy, tiny sliver of the population who watched the music video for Aaron Hall’s “I miss you” and had their heart ripped out because…. Died in child birth vs cheating 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

5-year-old Graham drew this pic for his dad @patgallen.bsky.social before the Super Bowl and we know how that turned out. This kickass Eagles drawing is now on a hoodie and a cut of the sales go to supporting Habitat for Humanity Philly. I could cry. Here's the link to buy. Go Birds and Go Graham!

Friday, 8/29: why the heck aren’t you using AI at work? You could be you on steroids Wednesday, 9/4: I use AI to complete a task that wasn’t my job but I was trying to help someone to do. First time using it. Thursday, 9/4: get called out for using AI 🤦🏻‍♀️

happy labor day

Urbanism, pedestrianization, and active transportation is such a layup: Good for the environment Good for mental health Good for people of all status Good for businesses Good for vibes

Me: I wonder if you’ll have kids someday My 7 Yo son: I probably will, but it depends on the person because the woman is the one who has to get pregnant (motions a big belly) and go through all that pain so really it’s up to her Me: couldn’t be effing prouder 🥹

Kids get super fixated. My 7 year old has been trying to learn a handstand and listening to Katy Perry non stop. I will hear Dark Horse about 1,345 more times before he moves on and never wants to listen to her again.

I wore a real bikini on the beach today, rather than my mom uniform tankini. It was flowery and frilly and I had a matching long shirt coverup. Asking my 7 year old what he thought (I’m so casual, he always compliments me when in a dress….) he said “I’m gonna tell you one thing, you look sexy”

Trump 2020: Find me 11k votes Trump 2025: Find me congressional seats

1. History isn’t there to be liked or disliked. 2. History is there to be learned from. 3. History offends you? Even better. Then you’re less likely to repeat it. It’s that simple.

Parent of a 7 year old here and yes! It’s the cars. I biked all over creation in the 90s in my not-very-good Philly neighborhood bc it was mostly one way streets. Our “better” (more expensive) zip now has a 12 lane highway right next to us. People exit at 40mph and speed right through. Nope.

Top 3 reasons I love lifting heavy weights as a 41 year old woman: I look pretty dang good I eat all. the. things! I successfully squatted a stranger who had fallen in the middle of the street yesterday

Philly used to build what’s now the “missing middle” housing. 16th and Tioga

I can’t believe in 2025 people still think if you buy an EV you’ll need a new battery for $20k in a few years 🤦🏻‍♀️ EVs have a lower maintenance cost, period. My 2014 EV, which we just said goodbye to, had its original battery still and that was long before today’s better battery tech.

Me: I’ll pay for convenience. Time is my most valuable resource. Also me: I will spend 5 legal minutes trying to every last drop out of a shampoo bottle because F these greedy retailers!

49 pounds. I just bought 49 pounds of groceries without using a cart. I’m either really strong, really stupid, or both

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

I only visit NYC as a tourist. Last time I was there, I took the subway. With my child. I feel bad for people who are afraid of students, work commuters, and grannies knitting (literally.)

Yes!!! I got married at 26. Why? Because I met a freakin’ 10 at 24. He’s still a 10 now that we’re in our 40s. But I promise I’d not have married at all if I didn’t find a worthy partner because I’m a fully formed human and marriage isn’t a requirement.

Where I live, by choice, because I want to raise my child in a diverse environment. Are there trade offs? Absolutely. Our access to downtown sucks. Schools are overcrowded and underfunded. And yes, you deal with the quality of life issues that often come with lower incomes. But it’s home ❤️💙💜💛💚🧡

A boomer on the beach, upon learning we lived in the city, said “Isn’t in dangerous?” and I started dead into her eyes and said “not for me. I’m in a gang.” And now that will be my forever reply.

I’m a fairly sharp, tech savvy person. But I almost got scammed out the wazoo on a really good dupe of the bath and body works website! I’d like to think I wouldn’t have completed checkout if my mom hadn’t said “are you sure it’s a real site” after I called her to ask if she wanted any candles 🙈

Ahh yes, dropping off a whole toilet and weight bench is definitely the one week worth of household trash you absolutely must dump right now 🙄

I have been using smart home products for over a decade. Nest before Google bought it. Ring before Amazon. You get the picture. My Nest Protect smoke alarms are expiring. I loved them. The best/only in kind replacement is First Alert’s new jawn….

Everyone has a different definition of “rich.” But I’ll just say that my kid often asks for a “fruit platter” as a bedtime snack and we can usually make 3 different fresh fruit items appear on a plate when he does.

Am I making this up or did elected officials used to meet with regular folks to learn about things, then adjust their decisions accordingly? Pre Citizens United of course, because now elections are bought not earned.

Way to go, America. My 7 year old was just on the verge of tears, afraid that we’d end up in prison from immigration raids. (We’re white US citizens, so we had to told him it’s unlikely but yes, very scary.) I’m no good at sugar coating, lying, or withholding so I’m a little to blame… but

A boomer whispered to me that the guests staying in the house next door to her “have a trans” with them. It’s giving “I was at the pharmacy today and the Middle Eastern woman who waited on me was so kind!” 🙄🙄🙄

I’m an elder millennial, and to me this is a film canister. My mom is elder Gen X, and to her this weed storage.

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

AITA for being pissed off when my mother in law, who I allow to use MY beach house, invites guests to stay overnight without clearing it with me first? Mind you our guest room/bath is downstairs and that means her guest must be using MY upstairs bathroom, which isn’t set up for guests.

Was tailgating an Eagles game and someone told us the owner, Jeffrey Lurie, was about to come by. Everyone in my party just yelled his name or whatever dumb stuff and I said “great job installing all these solar panels!” and his eyes went from dim to lit up, he made eye contact, and thanked me.

My annual shouting into the void to fuck TicketMaster all the way to hell. Fuck the NFL and also, fuck the eagles for likely booting me off the season ticket waitlist I joined at age 18 but am too afraid to confirm.

Had an unusually busy day from 7am to now, with a lot more driving than usual too, and haven’t been on the internet much. Seems like I missed a doozy 😂

I didn’t need to replace brakes until after the 100,000 mile mark on my first EV. And that car had even less regenerative braking than my current car.

On today’s episode of helpless rich people: Looking for someone who can replace smoke detectors in my home. We have several.
