Transgender Montana lawmaker Zooey Zephyr was again prevented from taking part in debate over a measure banning gender-affirming care for minors as her supporters brought the House session to a halt — chanting “Let her speak!” from the gallery. abcn.ws/3AoaL71
HAPPENING NOW: Activists have arrived at @Vanguard_Group HQ to stage an intervention & demand Vanguard take action on climate crisis. @xrphilly @AM_WakeUpCall @fixmyfunds @StopMoneyPipe
Thank you @abgutman for your interest in my Dad’s life and the care you took in writing about him. Deep gratitude.
I had the privilege of writing the obituary of Dr. Joseph Torg. Father of sports medicine. Reinvented the football cleats. Described the test for ACL tear. Debunked myth that girls can’t play Little League. Changed tackle rules, and saved lives. RIP. inquirer.com/obituaries/dr-…
@abgutman Thank you so much for wanting to write it and for the care you took in doing so.
Every time I write an obituary I go through a small existential crisis. The process forces you to confront the finality of death. There are just so many questions that could be so easily answered by the person who passed away, and yet they are the ones you can no longer ask.
@OrthoToday @JohnDKellyIVMD Thank you, John, for this tribute honoring my late father, Joe Torg.
John D. Kelly IV, MD (@JohnDKellyIVMD) remembers "the father of modern sports medicine" Joseph S. Torg, MD, who died on Dec. 15, 2022. He was 88 years old. bit.ly/3I84KR4
@abgutman Thank you for your interest. I emailed you.
@jayess327 @xpnmorningshow @kristenkurtis @wxpnfm Thanks for your kind words about my Dad, Joe Torg. The Joe Torg Wetlands are on Long Beach Island.
@kristenkurtis Many thanks for honoring my late father, Dr Joe Torg, on @wxpnfm Morning Show today. Deep gratitude. This means a lot to me and my siblings and especially my mother Barbara. Thank you! Here’s a photo of The Joe Torg Wetlands. Come visit some time!
@GaryLMiles sharing this in event you might write about my late father, Dr Joseph S Torg, MD donohuefuneralhome.com/obituaries/jos…
.@Vanguard_Group needs to take true stewardship seriously and invest for a livable future - for its customers and for all of us. Right-wing politicians and troubled corporations want investors to ignore the risks of volatile industries like fossil fuels. But climate risk is real.
Eight Quaker climate activists were arrested after protesting at Vanguard’s main headquarters in Malvern. “We still haven’t seen Vanguard hold companies accountable,” said Christina Tavernelli, program manager with Quakers’ American Friends Society. trib.al/qyIR1ze
No matter who you are, now matter where you are: MAKE A PLAN FOR NOV 8TH. THEN: grab 2 people and ask them to do the same. We can't afford to have ANYONE sit this out: too much is on the line. Get an election party together to go to the polls on Nov 8th (or before!) #GOTV
Philly, are you ready to vote?! It's never too soon to make a voting plan: vote.pa.gov/Voting-in-PA/P…
Update: a neighbor says they were going to move the trolley from trolley car diner to Wayne Junction but power lines too low. Helicopters were news. Oh Philly.
Hovering helicopters over NW Philadelphia 6am. What’s up Philly? @NBCPhiladelphia @CBSPhiladelphia
Happening now: Friends from Central Philly Monthly Meeting hang banners over 676 connecting @Vanguard_Group’s investment in fossil fuels & the climate disasters it’s complicit in if it doesn’t deal with its climate problem.
CDC approved updated boosters. The biggest ? I'm getting is a) safety (they're SAFE!); & b) timing. Ideal immunologic response is at least 4-6mo post prior vaccine: 2-3mo post infxn. But this can depend on ind'l situations. Have ?'s-plz ask, I will DM you! nyti.ms/3eipyIn
Here’s the answer to my 3AM ? about a fire in NW Philly: cbsnews.com/amp/philadelph…
That’s a LOT of fire sirens at 3AM in Northwest Philly. Any one know what’s up? @6abc @NBCPhiladelphia
