please read the philadelphia city council’s resolution about gritty
this is the greatest thing i’ve read all week. quoting just one part is basically impossible because it’s all gold.
WHEREAS, A man who inked Gritty’s face onto his leg captured the feelings of countless
Philadelphians: “At first, I was disgusted. I was like, what the hell is this? Why did you do this?
Why is this a thing? It was like an hour after that I fell in love with him”;
only one council member opposed, stating “he ugly.”
i’m partial to “the brotherly love, sisterly affection, and
monsterly spirit that binds us together”
