What’s going on In RoxYunk

Midweek Check In – How’re We Doing?

Go Birds, yeah?

There’s a lot to unpack from the current moment’s intersection of commerce, propaganda, and entertainment.

Professional sports is an uncomfortable (for me anyhow, YDMV) mix of pride, joy, rage, and shame.

All that being said, an Eagle’s game fills me with excitement and a win suffuses me with happiness. Why? That’s a question for another day.

For today, I invite you all to an outdoor watch part on the 240 block of Krams Ave. We’ll have the burn barrel burning. Dress warm.

So much RoxYunking this weekend

“ if there’s any way to defeat a despot, it’s by dismantling the very conditions that that allowed him to rise to power” says the next mayor of NYC

Lots of work left to do. Don’t mourn, organize.

Tuesday is Election Day. You are voting, right?

Go vote.

Don’t say it doesn’t make a difference. Don’t say you don’t do politics.

Elections matter. They have consequences. Pop goes SNAP.

If a billionaire from out of state is spending millions of dollars to convince Philadelphians not to vote, who do you think he’s trying to help?

If not sure where to vote, check here: https://vote.phila.gov/voting/election-day/where-is-my-polling-place/

I’d tell you to vote to retain all PA judges, state and local. You can do your own research and see if you agree.

Don’t tell me it doesn’t make a difference. Don’t tell me you don’t feel like it.

Let’s keep Pennsylvania working for Pennsylvanians and not for (NAMES REDACTED ON LEGAL ADVICE AND ALSO BECAUSE SINCE DARK MONEY IS ANONYMOUS, WE DONT KNOW FOR SURE)
