@pluralistic No #Philly stop? Some of us can't get to New York or DC
Hey, old people! Are you bothered by "six seven"? Have no idea what it means*? Respond with "three six ten" or whatever the VHF channels in your region were. You can also add a gesture where you pretend to turn the knob on your parents' old Zenith.
* I don't know but am unbothered, and haven't really cared to look it up.
I’ll be calling contra dances along the east coast this month! Catch me in one of these cities.
Full details at https://chromamine.com/dance/
Oh, I should tag some locations. Come contra dance with me, #Boston #NYC #Baltimore #Philly #HarrisburgPA #ChathamNJ #Brooklyn! See post upthread 👆
Rest In Peace Pierre Robert (WMMR Radio Personality) He was a legend in the Philly market. I've met him. He was only 70! RIP https://www.phillymag.com/news/2025/10/29/pierre-robert-death-died/

The little park on the #Philly end of the #Manayunk bridge attracts donations from friends and neighbors: wooden picnic tables, plastic chairs, sturdy kids' toys. Things that can withstand getting left outside.
But a #BabyGrand #piano got left there about 2 weeks ago. And even with a tarp to cover it, it's going to get ravaged by weather soon. Local report is that it got dropped off by someone who had to move on short notice and couldn't find a home for it. In the days of electronic keyboards, real pianos are a glut on the market.
But it breaks my heart to see it outside as the winter comes.
Spread the word: if you want a baby grand and have a way to haul it, it's waiting for a home. (Or a church, or a school....)

The front plate over a piano keyboard reads:
HARRINGTON
MANUFACTURED BY
HARDMAN, PECK & CO.
NEW YORK
Several large items are arranged on an outdoor plaza, in front of a fence, on a background of fall foliage. There are several picnic tables, and a piano covered by a tarp.
A baby grand piano sits outside covered by a green tarp. There's a picnic table visible beside it.

For cyclists in #Philadelphia:
A #sinkhole at least 8x10 feet has developed on the paved portion of the Schuylkill River Trail in Center City. The trail is closed between Race and JFK, with a detour on to 22nd (northbound) and 23rd (southbound).

Friends have been telling me about the energy at #NoKings in Santa Fe, and I’ve had the chance to look at photos from protests in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. I’m glad those cities have the crowds they do, but I will remember this protest in Valencia County for showing that away from big, generally liberal cities ordinary Americans are fighting fascism in our country. 7/7
Two women one holding a No Kings sign, the other with a sign that reads Morons Are Governing America (MAGA).
Women holding an American flag and wearing a shirt that says Resist
Like it's 1938 Germany….REJECT FASCISTS & PROJECT 2025.
Two young body’s with their mother. The older boy carries a sign that says I’D MAKE ABETTER PRESIDENT AND I’M 8. His mother’s sign says
STOP PRETENDING YOUR RACISM IS PATRIOTISM.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia:
"Philly Jews Say Free Palestine! Go Phils!"

#Philly folks for #FollowFriday:
- @meldar16 - #ttrpg maker, local art fairs, needs funds after concussion (EDIT: also cat pics, of course)
- @deliaturner - cat pics, author, grandma perspective
- @PhilSalkie - cat pics, Manyunk, interesting anecdotes
- @mattia - cat pics, fiber arts, South Philly
I don't know if you notice a trend here, but I think it's clear Philly Mastodon loves taking photos of cats.
