Scenes from our juneberry harvest on Nice Roots Farm last month! Did you know that Juneberries are an excellent source of iron – each serving provides about 23% RDA for iron! That’s almsot twice as much iron as blueberries 🫐🤯 The fruit is best eaten fresh, but can be frozen 😋

I simply do not think it’s too much to ask that every Philadelphian have a safe place to use the bathroom!!!!!! I hate cleaning up human waste on the streets of my neighborhood, but hate the conditions that cause the need to poop in public spaces SO MUCH MORE!!!!!

Appalling failure to steward public welfare 😔💧
Replying to @ajplus
The EPA warned Mississippi in 2020 of "imminent" dangers for people drinking Jackson's tap water. The 80% Black city has sought repairs since the 1940s. Governor Reeves repeatedly refused requests for funding and the state only approved 6% of requested repair funds last year.

These newlyweds toasted to their new marriage with Philly tap.🥂PWD caught them during the Water Bar at City Hall today. We poured local tap water, which meets/exceeds state + federal quality standards➡️water.phila.gov/quality 💧 We'll be at City Hall again Aug. 24 + 31 at 12pm!
Public water access in Amsterdam
It’s 100 degrees here today. So the city put these out last night so folks can stop and fill up bottles of water.

If it's a freely accessible 'resource,' we can certainly help database it. Pools, after all, are a special kind of 'water tap' 💧😎

I shall start collecting them by hand Here's Marian Anderson maybe these could live up on @PHLASKecosystem in the mid term?

You'll see the PHLASK team in some of these photos! 😁 Thanks to #IndyHall and #CodeforPhilly for the triumphant return of (in-person) Hack Nights
This quoted post is unavailable.
Looks like the taps are opening up again 😃 Hopefully @PhillyH2O will be turning it on soon.
Still closed 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
We were told that @PhillyH2O is actually responsible for maintaining these 4 fountains in Fairmount Park. They may only be turned on seasonally, but were off for some period during COVID. @PhilaParkandRec would likely know about the others.
A proposal in City Council would replace every drinking fountain in every public school with a hydration station that filters out lead. Lawmakers should not hesitate to pass it, writes The Inquirer Editorial Board. trib.al/m5UtqVb

Whoa, @AMCTheatres at @FashionDistPHL engages in some pretty bad water profiteering 🏴‍☠️💧 Have to pay ~$6 for a bottle of water or a fountain cup. No courtesy cups provided. #BYOphlask – at Philadelphia, PA
We'll be welcoming a fellow to the team this fall. If you're interested in project management, come help us stay organized and focused 🤪 – at Philadelphia, PA

We've been a little quiet recently, but we're working diligently to improve the interface functionality with the introduction of the Crowdsourcing Form. The next version will also have a new PHLaskable resource: food foraging 🌳 - stay tuned 😃
