It would be funny if the Uber was driving Cherelle Parker home from Happy Hour.

Thank you!

Berlin Farmers Market makes the best Pretzels I've ever had.

That helps me out a lot. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. The pill has been making me feel so sad and it isn’t been a good switch like I thought I would be. I got it out after four years because of hormonal acne, but I still break out on the pill. Grant it, it has only been a month. I regret getting the iud out because the insertion pain was the worst, but if the injection made it easier for you, I trust that.

I agree with most of this, except for your proposal to make the wage tax progressive. While it's good the city incentivizes homeownership, making the wage tax progressive would unfortunately have the effect of disincentivizing wealthy people from living in the city, similar to how businesses concentrate in the burbs. By nature the wage tax is highly volatile because people can just get up and leave whenever they want, versus property taxes which are tied to land. The city really needs to do all they can to reduce/get rid of the wage tax if they want to ever attract businesses en masse to the city

You can’t do a progressive tax because the state courts have ruled it as a violation of the uniformity clause

🤣

Cool! Thanks!

Definitely agree with researching side effects and talking to your gyno! I had no issues but that’s obviously not the case for everyone.

Spring Field Golf in Mt Holly has an 18 hole chip and putt course.

Maybe check out Karen Tang. She might only be doing surgeries now but she has a social media presence where she advocates for better care and pain prevention.

I mean, there is a known floor on how cold the water can get.

I have had the total IUDs since 2011-first one I got the lidocaine-they just did it, like it was routine, I didn’t know it was a thing to get the lidocaine, that insertion went ok. It was the second one they did with no lidocaine and that was the one I almost threw up, and was bawling crying. There was no way i was going to get this last one without that lidocaine. And yes I heard the same bullshit of “oh that lidocaine injection hurts more than the procedure”, that is a line of shit if I ever heard one. Maybe it’s bc I’ve never birthed a baby that it’s that painful for me, I’m just glad this is my last IUD bc I’m old lol.

I dunno. But years ago, I saw a dapper old man sitting on a bench staring at the parking lot by civic blvd and 38th. He was confused. I asked why. He said that during ww2, that spot was penn’s radioactive dump Said it was simply a deep hole. Wondered if the construction workers had lost their hair. Hmmmmm.

3600 CCB overbuild. This is my office building (well, technically, though my department mostly works from home now). It’s currently mostly Penn Medicine corporate workers in the building.

The building was designed with the intention to build additional floors down the road….which they’re doing now. I think it’s 9? Floors they’re adding and construction is going to be running until the end of 2024

At a fucking women's wellness clinic at that

I don’t want to crap on anyone’s choices, but I would add to research the side effects of implants compared to the ones for IUDs before making your decision. (Ideally find a gyno you can trust who will be able to explain pros and cons too.) I currently have a copper IUD and despite the insertion pain and some heavy periods for the first six months (I know, bummer), I’ve been really happy with it. No weird hormonal side effects, no effects on sex drive.

Fuck Dallas

Bro all I’m saying is google it if you’re too afraid that’s a whole other thing, it’s happening every day

For example I just looked up “drag show kids” Just last night there was one at tulips Dallas Fort Worth and one of the performers penis popped out 🤦‍♂️ they’re everyday bro

Too obvious, and it’ll be covered by insurance anyway.

Take a shit in the water cooler instead.

Right?! I don’t get why we need to fight for our pain management

Makes sense, we have extremely high wage tax and an extremely low property tax.

A tax system that incentivizes homeownership or rewards homeownership isn't a bad thing. Also, the Pew research mentioned nothing of the tax abatement system on new construction, which is another huge tax blessing to homeowners.

The best way to fix this problem is probably to make the city wage tax progressive, which is the highest in the country. So instead of taxing the same percentage to someone who makes 20k as you would to someone who makes 200k, you tax a lower rate on the low income earners. That would help make it more fair about the huge tax burden the low income renters have.

I think their calculation on property tax as effective tax rate on renters is pretty off base and not sure they properly calculate it. They purposefully did not include 13% of renters, most of which are in section 8, where there are no property taxes, in the calulation of property taxes paid.

Given one must make under a certain amount to qualify for section 8, removing these would severely impact the bottom quintile. It looks like this is probably the culprit for the weird calculations that the lowest quintile of renters pay the biggest share of their income to property taxes. Also, in the appendix the study makes clear that it often takes a few years for 100% of the property taxes to be offloaded to renters, so the automatic assumption that every renter is paying that is faulty in itself. You would have to control for only homeowners that have lived somewhere for several years to ensure the assumption is valid.

I'm on my 2nd implant. I like it, but it does affect my acne (has made it worse). I haven't had it shift in my arm.
