First time wearing my robes and I used the fake pocket to sneak some snacks. And, thanks to @NicoleCMcKenna, my face was plastered on the Jumbotron for 4 1/2 hours🫣🫣

The fact that this is even something people would do is v disturbing
The Wall Street Journal praised Eastern State Penitentiary as a wedding venue. @_RosaCartagena disagrees.

The way Penn buried skulls is unethical, experts say.
inquirer.com
While the public ceremony will be held on Saturday, Penn already buried the remains on Jan. 22.

Absolutely heartbreaking.
We are saddened to share that Rick Rosenfeld has passed away. He was a wonderful friend, colleague, and scholar. He will be missed by many.

Congratulations to @colmandomingo for the Golden Globes nom recognizing his starring role in Rustin! I had a chance to talk to him about the film’s moral compass — the civil right’s icon’s grandmother, Julia Rustin.
inquirer.com
Julia Rustin's Quaker values become a source of lasting wisdom in the biopic about her grandson who was the architect of the March on Washington.

Reviewing the Mean Girls musical with an actual 16-year-old was absolutely hilarious and super insightful. (Yes, she did roll her eyes at one point.)
inquirer.com
Rowan Arthur, 16, a student journalist and a junior at Girls’ High enjoyed 'Mean Girls' at Miller Theater and thought “the orchestra ate.”

I interviewed the inimitable Nikki Giovanni, who talked to me about space, aliens, love, self-assuredness, and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. A moving doc about her life/legacy and cosmic ambitions screens at Philly’s @BlackStarFest this weekend.

“Philadelphia was the birthplace of the United States,” the poet said of the city. But the roads could be better.
