Some of my interests: The written word. Grammar and usage. Cleverness. Sports. Specifically Philly sports. #GoBirds #GoPhils Cooking, baking (pie—I made the ones below—is the superior dessert), wining, cocktailing, eating ALL THE CHEESES. Hiking, gardening, kayaking. Politics, family, DOGS.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Are the Rams being punished? Those screaming yellow jerseys are burning my heckin’ retinas out.

Heads up, Philly: for anyone who has tickets for Ed Sheeran this weekend (we did), Ticketmaster *will* give you a refund. #FreePalestine

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

THE VIBES WE NEED, and no better time for them. LFG!

ZEUS!!

GOOD JOB, KYLE!

Take a seat, Ronald! Do your little dance right on back to the dugout.

It’s Labor Day, and the unofficial start of Fall (as far as I’m concerned, it’s officially official), so it’s time for summer fruits to make way for apples and such. To kick things off, I’ve made this lovely apple cider sourdough loaf, which makes the best toast of all the times.

Just finished Season 2 of The Gentlemen (based on the Giy Ritchie movie, which is also great), and WOWWWWWW… so good. We loved the first season but this? I was on the edge of my seat for every episode. SO. GOOD.

Not sure if it was our vantage point tonight but Durán was *particularly* vicious tonight. That knuckle curve? NASTY. 99.2MPH splitter?? INSANE.

DEEPLY satisfying game.

He was blazing tonight!

Bitches love good plate discipline.

For Alice. 🍑🍑🍑

GO PHILS!

Thanks to all who are sharing about Jack. I appreciate it. ❤️

Hi, Philly friends. Though it breaks my heart to say it, we have to rehome one of our dogs. He’s as sweet as he can be, but our other dog just isn’t good with other dogs. Jack is a beautiful, gentle soul who deserves to be safe & loved. DM if you’d like more info. www.adoptapet.com/pet/49198396...

yall are gonna hear me say this a lot so here goes again: make plans to vote in person, and do it as early as possible. literally make turnout this election too big to steal.

Yet another issue where every single person who touched it needs to end up in jail for us to have any semblance of the rule of law. You cannot have a functional democracy where the government creates a plan to literally throw away votes from places that don't support the incumbent party.

GO BIRDS

It’s September 1, so no matter what the calendar says, it’s f’n fall.

Spent the afternoon organizing my closet and… I think I may have a problem.

We had a most excellent time taking a focaccia class at The Bread Room (Chestnut Street in ye olde Philly) last night. If you’re looking for a fun night with friends (this is a top-tier date night activity), this is a solid option.

We’re not changing it.

They want her to have the job for the white reasons…

Two thousand five.

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

It’s peachy peach season AND it’s Sunday, which means a special brunchy breakfast vibe. So, it’s peach cobbler scones. Sweet PA white peaches kissed with just a bit of cinnamon-sugar baked into the tenderest biscuit dough you ever ate. PEAK summer.

I was a little bummed I missed out on last night’s corntacular, BUT… we (along with 80,000 others) caught the Foo Fighters show at the Linc and holy WOW. I’ve seen them many times and they never disappoint.

Need the Daycare to have a big game tonight so the Daily News can run CHILDREN OF THE CORN on the back cover

We are at the Linc tonight for non-Eagles reasons and I cannot express how ready I am for football! E-A-G-L-E-S: EAGLES!

GO BIRDS!

if i were a dem politician asked about hasan piker i would simply say “i will answer your question about the twitch streamer no one has heard of but first i would like to point out the president was best friends with the worlds most notorious child rapist and yall stopped asking him about that”

Thank you, NBC, for noting this is in fact an American city. Too many people here pretend it isn't.

I love this man.

Let’s gooooooooo! Cmon D Hill.

Sweet Jeebus MØØSE, that was a great catch.

This bears repeating.
