@sipappas saw your article mentioning Martian spiders - as a science communicator you should be aware that there is nothing inherently “creepy” about ANY spider and that your words reinforce outdated mythologies.

@AMartinezLA just heard you mention Xi Jinping this morning. May I gently suggest that you spend an hour learning to read pinyin? It would be great if NPR could stop mispronouncing Chinese names.

[Arlo Pelegrin @ArloPelegrin]

@NBCOlympics can this be the year that your announcers learn to pronounce Chinese names?? Everyone sounds so ignorant

[Arlo Pelegrin @ArloPelegrin]

@BecCrew just saw your article about sea spiders. The language you use tends to villainize them. There’s nothing inherently scary about life on Earth. Don’t abuse your platform.

@jaydub61 @AdamSchefter 700000+ Americans haven’t gotten better, if you believe in “numbers.”

@gbrumfiel just heard your Chinese missile report. Please learn pinyin to report about Chinese matters.

@handmouthdancer (Clears throat pedantically) it’s not Amharic, it’s Ge’ez, an ancient language with powerful magical associations.

@JohnKasich @CNNOpinion Are you going to use your influence to do something about it? Anything?

[Arlo Pelegrin @ArloPelegrin]

@RepMikeCoffman Mike, you're dangerously close to condemning the president's urges to use violence. Why not go all the way and call him out for real?

@HarrisonNFL @NFL Don't you think you should respect basic math and rank a 2-0 team slightly higher than an 0-1-1 team?

@JasonCrowCO6 How can I help? I can't give you money but I want you to succeed.

@denverpost can't believe your online, ad-laden version is not available to me unless I pay. Your advertising clients must be happy about pinching off potential customers. Sell ad space like it's 2018 and let me read your work!

Just sayin. #treason

@RepMikeCoffman What are YOU going to DO ABOUT IT
