This is the most accurate representation of going to the Dr. with chronic illness (esp as a woman- esp esp a young woman) I’ve ever read on the entire internet.

patient: hello, i am in a lot of pain all the time.
doctor: hmm. are you just saying that to get attention?
patient: yes. medical attention

Here's a business idea:
Senior nutritional drinks that aren't garbage, and actually benefit their physical & cognitive health.
"Ensure" is so terrible, and it's a massive market.
Also, anyone can hit me up if they want me involved - but I don't have time. It's a freebie!

Katrina Parks, a documentarian and filmmaker, goes beyond the postcard-perfect iconography of #Route66 to uncover and highlight the stories of the women at the heart of this fabled roadway.

The automobile industry has spent a century shifting blame for road deaths from the people doing the killing (auto manufacturers, DOTs, drivers) to the people doing the dying (pedestrians). The odds of them programming this aggression and hostility into their AVs is very high.

“We know how to make streets safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers but choose not to do it because we value vehicle speed and motorist convenience over people’s lives” is a banal truth that has been profoundly radicalizing for me.

WEST PHILLY: I have an incredible opportunity to create a mural in Philly this fall with one of my favorite artists, @_MCBailey_!
We have funding and support through @muralarts. Marian has an incredible idea. We just need a wall.
Hit me up if you own a wall and wanna hear more!

You can complain that your rapid transit system doesn't serve enough communities or you could step up and build it!
Boston's system was small but from the 1960s until the 1980s, the system had steady expansions. The recent green line extension is another system success.
We can do this in Philadelphia and build subways to better connect Northeast and Northwest to the rest of the city.

It seems easier to post it myself from Tumblr than look at other people posting it and telling them that, yes, it's real.
ALT Q:Some of your books make it seems like you believe in actual literal magic, do you? () A: I can write down a few words and make people thousands of miles away, whom I have never met and will never meet, laugh tears of joy and cry tears of true sorrow for people who do not exist and have never existed and never will exist. If that isn't actual literal magic I don't know what is.

I am excited the tunnel connecting SEPTA and Amtrak's 30th Street Stations will reopen!
This project will help Philadelphians move around safely and quickly -- and make it easier for visitors to explore West and Southwest!

People who violate the speed limit literally every time they drive sure do have a lot of opinions about cyclists rolling past stop signs.
