Flight attendant: “are y’all sure you’re going to Detroit? I did not see one Detroit vs. Everybody t shirt and there are usually at least 10 on every Detroit flight.” 🤣🤣
In 2012 I lived 2 blocks from here, it was basically a crappy bench w/ no barrier to the Det River. I was in a dark & wild part of my early 20s & would go down there in the middle of the night & smoke cigs/cry. Now it’s Riverside Park. A beautiful and thriving public space. 😍😍
After a year of paying bills in Philly, I can officially say I pay less in rent, groceries, and utilities. Also transportation costs are ZERO because I have a reliable bus and a walkable neighborhood, including 6 affordable grocery stores/markets. I WANT THIS FOR YOU SO BAD 😩😭
It is WILD to me that the rental market in Philly is cheaper than Detroit. I saw a STUDIO in Detroit listed for $1800, for the same price in Philly I can have two bedrooms, outdoor space, in unit washer/dryer, and access to public transit and other urban amenities. What gives?!
As a bartender in the city of Detroit for over 10 years, I can assure you that Dana Nessel is VERY not alone in being an elected government official who gets hammered in public. At least she was smart enough not to get behind the wheel 😒🤫
Philadelphia 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. was a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle in Center City, Philadelphia tonight and is receiving treatment at a local hospital, a Sixers spokesman tells ESPN. Oubre Jr., is currently in stable condition.
Dear God just invest in bus rapid transit. This conversation is so deflating and has been going on for over a decade. People can’t afford to drive/park/pay rent in cities, to thrive you MUST have reliable transit.

is set to roll out its ambitious 2024-2030 Climate Plan, with urban biking at the heart of the plan. They will officially prioritize cycling infrastructure, introducing 180km of additional cycling paths, & 130k bike parking spaces, by 2026.
I am very tired of my peers acting like they can’t do shit bc they’re “old”. Like you’re 33 and potentially have 50+ more years to live… you’re seriously done enjoying life already? Pathetic
30 is not old. I want y’all to unlearn that.
It’s causing many to rush their life rather than enjoy the journey.
Your life doesn’t end at 30; it’s still blooming. At 30, you’ve only been an adult for 12 years. You’re not even a “teen” in the “adult years.” Chill out.
I have lived in Philly for four days and I’m already thrilled about how infrequently I have to use a vehicle to get around (spoiler alert, it’s never so far)
No matter how many times I tailored my answers to fit the vibe of the state's largest city, Detroit never seemed to pop up as the first choice in the "find your place" quiz.
I finally got prescribed proper medication for my ADHD and wow, I just like… do the things I’m supposed to do now. Without having to give myself a pep talk or mentally breaking down? Truly astonishing.
Just found out my ex told a girl on a group bike ride, "You should try one of those e-bikes, maybe you could keep up". Is it possible to dump someone twice??? 🥴
my beef with Michigan runs deeper than it simply just being my home state…. why the fuck do we have like 0 public transit while paying for car insurance here is legit robbery. My brother in WA pays under $200 to insure 4 ENTIRE CARS
Detroit be like "Wanna have a great time on Halloween?!".... okay, get in your car, drive up to POLICE stations, and receive mediocre candy and drive off. Like, sorry Officer, that literally sounds like the opposite of fun.
My best friend just asked a bartender in LA if he knew Kelsey Hubbell, and indeed, he did. He was an old restaurant buddy of mine. Detroit is small and connected as hell.
As a victim of nonconcensual “revenge porn” , this is so infuriating and horrific. Women shouldn’t be demoralized for being naked/having sex in a world where cameras exist, but our likeliness most definitely shouldn’t be manipulated in order to create FAKE nonconcensual porn.
yeah teenage girls are starting to be harassed with deepfake porn of themselves by their male classmates. y'all are sick. deepfake porn needs to be criminalized and anyone making nonconsensual porn of real people, especially children, should be sent to jail I'm not joking
How messed up is our reality that I saw a black teenager (male) being questioned by cops and slowed down, turned my video on, and took my headphones out til they let him go. Like am I doing too much or is everyone conditioned to prepare for violence these days? 🥴😖
Something special is happening in Barcelona. It started last month when some parents organized a bike ride to school for just five kids. Now entire neighborhoods are joining. They call it Bicibús – or Bike Bus.
This is what the bus stops in downtown Detroit look like. Signs on poles with no shelter or seating. Can we start treating transit riders with some humanity again please?
PGW trying to fix an underground gas leak on 7th, cars lined up behind them honking incessantly and screaming profanities at the guys trying to get this shit done before the block blows up 😖Like take a deep fucking breaaaaaath, drivers 😮💨

All summer I thought my tomatoes just weren’t ripening — there were tons of them just turning yellow and then rotting and being eaten by squirrels/bugs. My mom just told me they are yellow tomato plants. 😐
My boyfriend got excited because he thought there was a surprise cigarette in his pocket (he’s working on quitting)… much to his disappointment, he pulled out a blue crayon

When I was 10 I started a summer camp for kids in the neighborhood. We charged $15 a week and had a full itinerary, themes for each day, a budget, and a showcase on the last day. Price went up to $150 on year 2 and I did it every summer til I was 17.
