Edric & Elmira: Hey Luz, looking for Amity?

Luz: Actually I was looking for you two.

Luz: See it turns out that while I was away my mom got a new daughter and I now have a new sister back home that is my twin and I wondered if you could give me lessons about Twins. I never had a sister before, let alone a twin.

Edric & Elmira:

Edric & Elmira: WTF.

Okay so the Owl House fandom crackshipping Edric and Hunter can go one of two ways—

1) Dana does the most amazing thing ever and gives us Goldric fan service by giving them a plot in an episode somehow (maybe on one of Hunter’s errands for Belos he runs into the Blight twins and Edric gets separated from Elmira with him)

2) Dana makes them meet but they end up as rivals or something and Dana maliciously cackles as the fandom cries “NO WAIT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE EACH OTHER 😭”

Philly’s urban gardeners are under siege from gentrification. Here’s what they’re doing about it.

John Lindsay and James Seward stand with fresh produce from Wiota Street Community Garden, which was saved by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority last year. Margo Reed/Staff File Photo “There’s a sense of frustration that the Land Bank isn’t really up and running yet,” she said.

Excerpt:

few years ago, Elmira Smith and her Kensington neighbors got tired of looking at the vacant lot on their block, an overgrown tangle of weeds and trash, and decided to take action.

So, they did what good neighbors do. They pitched in, filled dozens of trashbags and held volunteer days to build beds and plant flowers on what it turned out were actually three adjacent, long-abandoned parcels. It took two seasons to get the grass going, but they eventually had a plush emerald lawn.

Then, in November, a sheriff’s sale notice appeared on one of the properties, which it turned out carried thousands of dollars in tax debt.

“Who wants to do all this work and find out it will be at risk?” Smith asked.

Community gardens like this one were, researchers say, key to stabilizing Philadelphia’s blighted and disinvested neighborhoods over the years and have even reduced violent crime.
