lots of humans speak and I think it’s neat

So much $$ poured into the new @Caltrain trains but no viable way to get on and off solo with a stroller—for some reason we can’t use the ramp??

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@CaltrainAlerts I still can’t believe how much I pay for this shitty system. We aren’t ten minutes late approaching Millbrae. This train would have been nearly at 4th/king if we were “ten minutes delayed.”We aren’t getting to Millbrae at all!

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@billstr @CaltrainAlerts Isn’t the utter lack of useful communication from @CaltrainAlerts that might allow travelers to make an informed decision about how to get home embarrassing? Would be great to know when and whether we will get pulled back so we can get off this train!

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@CaltrainAlerts As per usual, ambiguous messaging from Caltrain. Is train 309 5 minutes delayed or 25?

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@CaltrainAlerts announcements for 309 alternate between late&cancelled. Board shows late. What are your Deaf passengers supposed to do? Announcement says 709 will get us but even your customer service rep wasn’t sure about that. You need to do better for what we are paying you!

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@CaltrainAlerts It is now running 16 minutes behind schedule (make that 17…and counting?) Can you at least let us know what’s going on so we know whether to change our transit plans?

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@Caltrain you couldn’t wait 30 seconds for people connecting from the delayed @SFBART train at millbrae? Why is there no communication between these two transit systems?

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@Caltrain under the new schedule starting next week aimed at aligning BART and Caltrain schedules, a southbound red line BART train is due to arrive at Millbrae at 9.32, the exact same time that the L5 departs Millbrae. Will the Caltrain wait for BART riders to transfer?

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@Caltrain @CaltrainAlerts What’s the point of having an alerts page on your website?

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

Is this going to become an @Caltrain shame account? No alert online (last alert from Wednesday) and no sign that we’d board the opposite platform. Want to increase ridership? Make sure this doesn’t happen.

“We did a study and found that women who do not wear makeup or wear heels are less attractive. Women should keep these tips in mind when applying to jobs. Men were determined to be irrelevant to this study.”

#SIG10 study found that vocal fry (VF) - a low-pitched, grating voice quality trending among young women - negatively impacts how a speaker is perceived. SLP grad students should be cognizant of VF use as they seek competitive externships & jobs. https://t.co/kKAd916Dfd #slpeeps

@ever_ambiguous Fun fact one of my participants ate Oreos before the palatography session 😂😂😂 (don’t worry they rinsed)

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@ever_ambiguous Careful with my mphil thesis 😁 the literature review in there is probably fine though! There’s probably some additional stuff in my phd thesis.

[Sarah Bakst @BakstSarah]

@m_faytak @ever_ambiguous @academicmargin you might be interested in the USC rt-mri paper about tamil retroflex/bunching, though additional sociolx caveat: not everyone has that retroflex approximant

Wow @msichicago what a lame tribute to Rosalind Franklin. Half a mention and no photo. What is this, the 20th century?
