I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

- My PhillyCAM fellowship is “wow, so you’ll give me 5 minutes to share cool people on the radio??” Tonight’s ep has @sarahmackattack.bsky.social talking about one tiny awesome thing she does — showing off the local minifauna (bugs!) I could do a whole hour just on her. soundcloud.com/phillycam/bl...

- Reposted by Helen H-AWalmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

- Reposted by Helen H-AI can't stop thinking about this. We're pursuing zero fire risk in multifam, while tolerating much more in single-fam. People respond by building and living in single-fam, where they're exposed to not only one of the highest fire death risks in the developed world, but also TONS more car crash risk

- Reposted by Helen H-AThe whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.
