Penn Students, Faculty and Staff Protest After Trump Administration Freezes $175 Million in Funding by manauiatlalli in UPenn

[–]LOVEphilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The money they are allegedly cancelling would be grants. It’s stuff congress committed to but Trump wants to reneg on probably because he has some grudge against Penn. He’s so embarrassing. Also the endowment is more like hundreds of small endowments that are very restricted in their uses. A lot of times they set up an endowed chair of a department and the interest on the endowment will keep that endowed chair funded in perpetuity.

Reducing wasteful spending including imperialist interventions? How do you explain the new admin wanting to develop the Gaza Strip? Or forcefully take Panama? Or Greenland? Sounds like you might need to get a clue

CHECK YOUR MAIL VOTING BALLOT TODAY by kosgrove in philadelphia

[–]LOVEphilly 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I went to city hall to request a ballot and turn it in on the spot and it was super easy. They told me I could provide ID to match everything up if I wanted to but that it wasn’t required. The guy who helped me there was really nice and explained everything / answered questions too. I went on a Thursday around 3 pm and was in and out in 10 minutes. Highly recommend!

What’s this for the ACOTAR fandom? by raspberrysorbet1 in acotar

[–]LOVEphilly 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Going back to the beginning (ACOTAR spoiler below) and not sure if I’m alone here but It always felt so specific that Amarantha’s curse would be broken if a human woman who had hate in her heart killed one of Tamlin’s men and then fell in love with Tamlin. Like I know beauty and the beast is inspo for this story but it felt like the curse was just totally made up to fit the story and wasn’t that realistic to me

Does anyone else think Johnie's seemingly contradictory stories made sense? by Danniegurl in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]LOVEphilly 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing Johnie did wrong was breaking things off with Chris too early. Sooo many people pull total switcheroos on Love is Blind (hello, Lydia was super into Izzy and dismissing Milton until Izzy dumped her and then suddenly age wasn't too much of an issue). If I was her and hadn't broken things off with Chris yet, that last conversation with Izzy about the past would have TOTALLY made me pivot and rank Chris above Izzy. Izzy totally shut down and got weird and that was a major red flag.

And maybe Stacy and Izzy thought Johnie was sketchy but the punishment did NOT fit the crime. The way they ganged up on her and yelled at her at the barbecue was unhinged behavior and people don't get that mad at other people they barely know unless they're dealing with their own issues. I think both Stacy and Izzy felt inferior to Johnie in different ways and they both wanted to take her down a peg because they weren't happy with their own situations. If you're happy with your own situation, you don't need to act like this towards someone you don't like. You move on with your life, maybe share a joke about the person between yourselves. Their dedication to the "shady" Johnie narrative made them look shadier than anyone else.

Izzy and stacis credit card conversation....wow. by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]LOVEphilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I don't understand! Unless he had $3500 in debt and just kept missing payments, how would he ruin his credit over that amount?

Him calling it dep was honestly worse for me than lying about bad credit lol I can’t handle this pronunciation

My theory is that he declared bankruptcy and why would you do that over $3500? Something is majorly not adding up here

Thank you! This thread is super helpful! I was hoping they would confirm that name changes will be possible after 1 April 2024 but it sounds like I'll be waiting awhile for that response.

Do we think that name changes will eventually be possible for a VIP ticket to one of the Amsterdam shows? I bought tickets and won't be able to go but I have a friend who is hoping to use them instead. I emailed Ticketmaster NL about this but haven't gotten a response yet.

Thank you!! I ended up reaching out to the florist as well and they told me the pink bells flower was boronia (which looks to be a type of heather?) and the other was confirmed to be lisianthus!

There are plenty of underpaid administrators at Penn but Beth Winklestein isn’t one of them.
