Die Stadt #Philadelphia hat mit 343 DemonstrantInnen, die während der #GeorgeFloyd-Demonstrationen 2020 mit Tränengas und Pfefferspray getroffen wurden, eine Einigung in Höhe von 9,25 Millionen US-Dollar erzielt, teilte die Stadt in einer Erklärung mit. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/philadelphia-9-million-settlement-george-floyd-protests/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=206283130
I can’t count how many times I’ve walked right by this tiny, old #ToynbeeTile just a stone’s throw from #Philadelphia city hall. I’ve seen some of these old ones down in the narrow old alleys of #SouthPhilly but to have a decades-old tile in the shadow of City Hall is really something else. It’s also in a crosswalk so it blends in with the degrading crosswalk stripes, I only realized it was a tile after noticing some of the text. The message is tough to guess at, probably starts “…[hel]lions…”

Making sure your employees are paid on time should be a top priority for small business owners. It builds trust with your employees and keeps you from getting into hot water with the Dept. of Labor.

Today in Labor History March 15, 1877: Ben Fletcher, African-American IWW organizer was born on this date. Fletcher organized longshoremen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He joined the Wobblies (IWW) in 1912, became secretary of the IWW District Council in 1913. He also co-founded the interracial Local 8 in 1913. By 1916, thanks in large part to Fletcher’s organizing skill, all but two of Philadelphia’s docks were controlled by the IWW. And the union maintained control of the Philly waterfront for about a decade. After the 1913 strike, Fletcher traveled up and down the east coast organizing dockers. However, he was nearly lynched in Norfolk, Virginia in 1917. At that time, roughly 10% of the IWW’s 1 million members were African American. Most had been rejected from other unions because of their skin color. In 1918, the state arrested him, sentencing him to ten years for the crime of organizing workers during wartime. He served three years.

For today's #caturday, a bit of #zooarchaeology from a project I worked on several years ago. I helped with sorting the bones from the excavation under what is now the National Constitution Centre in #Philadelphia. We had a large number of butchered bones and signs of animal abuse, except for one case: “Cresson” the Cat. This cat died old, with a healed skull and rib fractures on his left side. Someone loved this cat.

(3/3) The Chestnut Hill Water Tower c. 1896, 1905, and 2023.
The earliest shot is from PhillyHistory.Org and the second is from the Germantown Historical Society.
Modern shot with the Seneca Improved View Camera (c. 1917), paper negative, scanned with a cell phone while still wet, and inverted in PS.
I couldn't get far enough back to get the same angle as the 1904 shot because of trees and my longer lens. But a better exposure since I bracketed.
(2/3) The Chestnut Hill Hotel, c.1900 and 2023.
Archive Image from the Germantown Historical Society.
Modern shot with Seneca Improved View Camera (c. 1917?), paper negative (cell scanned while still wet!) inverted in Photoshop. Not quite the right angle or field of view, but I think Id have needed a wider lens and to play in traffic to make it better. Didnt nail the exposure. But fun first try, and I hadnt shot paper negatives in a while.
I managed to get groggily through my ambitions for the day (including late-day yoga!), so I'm celebrating with a few favorite shots from the #PHS Flower Show earlier this week. There's a lot of flash, but I found I liked the little container plantings, Ikebana arrangements, and generally things more human-scaled than the entrance display and full landscapes. (Also, you can breathe in those areas!)
