I think I read somewhere that the tunnel from the subway to the train station came up underneath bridgewaters.

It smells like that every night in fox chase . Sometimes it’s so strong your eyes will tear & your nose burns. It’s every night

As always, the only people complaining about us LGBTQ folks calling ourselves 'victims" or whatever, are you lot: the EXACT same people who are why they had to talk about this drag shit in the first place. Because it is YOU lot who are using drag to enact anti-LGBTQ laws all over the country. Talking about anti-LGBTQ stuff happening and existing isn't being a "victim" in the way you claim....it's just talking about our reality. Like this is happening regardless of if you accept and believe that or not.
And to be clear, drag is the clothing worn. The extremely over the top, exaggerated, flamboyant COSTUMES worn by performers. What they do IN drag is a performance. And what they are doing with the story times? They fucking reading books to children! Like....how is that so crazy or outrageous?
Drag isn't some inherently sexual thing, it's a costume like you see at the carnival or at a play. Do you think all children should be banned from the pool and beach, where tons and tons of men only wear shorts? And where women wear very revealing bathing suits?
Why do we NEED drag storytime? Because in the words of Zoeey Zephyr: "Drag is art. Drag is beautiful. Drag is important to my community. There were comments about people who went 30 years ago to drag shows. There's questions as to why are children coming to them now. I'll tell you what happened. We lived. Now we are taking some of our children, showing them our history, celebrating our art and history and the fact that we are alive today." (Source: https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1628914352161013766?t=ez9bht1y-1ejk3ml8CL3tQ&s=19, it's a great speech about the drag bills overall, you should watch it).
Kids being read to by someone in drag is just....so inoffensive. But as always, conservatives don't want kids to be around people who are different because they want kids to learn that everyone needs to be the exact same way and if you're not the same you're evil and bad and hurt children or whatever. LGBTQ parents who know drag is not bad at all, take their kids to children drag stuff like the storytimes, because it is part of our culture. It is just a part of who we are, just like a part of white redneck culture is tail gating and getting hammered while watching football or whatever.
Drag is just fun, kids love costumes. I mean seriously what kid doesn't love a costume? Except me, who was deathly afraid of large costumes like chuck e cheese but y'know....I know from experience that I am the exception and not the rule lol
It's the exact same reason why college is extremely often said to be "liberal brainwashing" by conservatives. Because at college is often the first time that conservative young adults are around people that don't look like them or believe what they believe. So they learn and grow because of that.

It’s called Mamuśka (a cute way of saying Mom in Polish)

Happy to help! As of now per google it looks like it's in the warehouse area across the road from Riccardi Bros paints and next(ish) to Exton Beverage.
And thanks for the rec in Malvern. Always on the hunt for good falafel

The Red Lion plant was walking distance to where I grew up and several neighbors worked there. After it was shuttered, huge families of deer took over the outside and you could always see dozens in a drive by.

I’m in tacony and last week there was a similar smell and it was so strong we could smell it both outside and then through the downstairs of the house, I thought someone was cooking/mixing drugs or smoking them, it was nauseating.

Their parents are forcing them. That's why it's called DRAG your kids to Pride. You don't drag someone who is willing to go. You're forcing them.

Ah well pretty close either way. Go walk around the market at southbank (right near the eye) it’s a pretty cool spot.

I do gig work in that area so I’m there often. Thanks for the shawarma suggestion. There’s another great Lebanese place in Malvern called Cafe Baladi. Excellent falafel. They use a spice I can’t put my finger on. It’s really subtle and reminds me of cardamom but slightly different.

We were driving down I95 and thought our car’s electrical system was on fire. Parked the car In center city and smelled it and thought “o crap” its our car. Then the smell lingered everywhere and was relived 😅

After a night out, nothing hits like a cheese and onion slice. That’s just a fact.
