Wanna help out your neighborhood raccoons and possums? Supporting ecosystems starts at the base. Adding native plants to your backyard, roof deck, sidewalk, or window box provides habitat for insects and other little creatures that philly’s wildlife relies on.

(If you live outside of Philly, this applies to your town too)

All hail the fabulous Amy Sedaris! The incredibly gifted, inspired and twisted comedic genius and rubber-faced character actress (born 29 March 1961) turns 65 today. If all Sedaris ever did was give us the monstrously perverse middle-aged delinquent Jerri Blank in black comedy Strangers with Candy (1999–2000), we’d be forever in her debt! But there’s also her hilarious performances in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2020) and At Home with Amy Sedaris (2017-2020) (which isn’t streaming anywhere in the UK, which I take as a personal hate crime) and memorable recurring guest star appearances in TV shows like Sex and the City and Broad City. She’s also, of course, the authoress of books like I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence (2006) and Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People! (2010). Look, I know that for all intents and purposes that John Waters is retired from filmmaking, but he MUST make one more movie just so that he can collaborate with Sedaris. (Wouldn’t that be a match made in heaven?). Pictured: portrait of Amy Sedaris by Tina Tyrell (styled by Mel Ottenberg) for Interview magazine in August 2019.

if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars.

i am not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies' and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf

you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

“Like a septic tank explosion, it has to be seen to be believed.” Detroit Free Press.

“Dregs of human perversity draws weirdo element. Monstrous.” Headline of Variety’s review.

John Waters’ ultimate depraved landmark cult movie, the infamous Pink Flamingos, premiered at the University of Baltimore precisely fifty-four years ago today (17 March 1972) – making the world a filthier place forever! Why not commemorate the occasion by getting all dressed up and ready to fall in love? Or shoplift a steak, conceal it between your legs and warm it in your own little oven? Or eat hard-boiled eggs while wearing a girdle and sitting in a child’s playpen? Pictured: Divine as anti-heroine Babs Johnson.

In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde. The show was condemned by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance.”

Oscar Wilde would have absolutely loved that!
