Philly Weekly

Some readers were outraged at our "contest." Now, let's turn that outrage onto Philly's elected leaders who have failed miserably at keeping us all safe. Here's looking at you, Philadelphia House Delegation

"I hope that people come to my show and take a little time to laugh at themselves." TONIGHT and tomorrow at Punch Line Philly.

A super powerful 'Voices' this week:

Hey Philly! We are at about 70% funded in our push for a more balanced alt-weekly. If you have no issue with a conservative viewpoint also having a say in the city they inhabit, we'd love your support.

A little balance isn’t a bad thing.

We're leaving the echo chamber of progressive journalism.

Having grown up in Central Pennsylvania, Kirby Sybert found himself in New York City for a short stint before settling in Philadelphia, where he discovered a scene filled with musicians and creatives who fully embraced him. This city has really opened me up to being an artist and has allowed me to continue that artistic journey, he said.

If I remember correctly, now would be the time for back-to-school specials to start, the sales, the driving from, and moving in days. This is normally a life-defining moment: making friends to drink with (sure, let’s include grade school and high schoolers in the boozing), finding ideals and polemics with which to bond.

Q: I'm a 35-year-old woman. I recently discovered I'm a size queen. (Is it OK for me to use this term?) This has been brewing for a while as I have dabbled with purchasing larger and larger cucumbers and fucking myself with them after a good wash. I use a condom and tons of lube and it's been amazing. Are there any safety or health concerns I should be aware of? [ 1,418 more word ] https://philadelphiaweekly.com/quickies-3/
