My goal as a tech writer is to find a company that trusts me enough to let me write release notes like @GoodRx. Whoever you are, product manager or docs specialist, I always enjoy app updates because I get to read your shenanigans. #Iamalsolazy

Heard rumors people were able to go in-store to pick up the #animalcrossing amiibo cards... no luck. Maybe there actually were some in the back but I was turned away 🤷‍♀️

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

It's just too sus that both me and my fiancé were trying to buy #animalcrossing amiibo cards because surely ONE of us would be able to get through - and got "processing errors" at checkout with them in the cart. Unreal

Friendly reminder that it’s not over for all of us, so as everyone moves on because most of the notices have been lifted, neighbors and myself still can’t brush our teeth or cook without water bottles. It’s been a week.

[Pflugerville, TX @PflugervilleTX]

Reminder: The City of Pflugerville is still currently under a boil water notice. For information on the steps we and other water systems must take before lifting it visit https://t.co/x3ZtyagscK. FAQs at https://t.co/kcujdwanGK.

@brittanyshulman I meant to say let me work to make up hours*

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

@brittanyshulman Is this.... not the usual case? Mine made me work to make up hours lost but ultimately it was that or PTO...?

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

Good perspective about the chaos that was occurring at ERCOT. I hope some of the grid operators are angry they had to make those calls, and help us fix this moving forward. https://t.co/CfZD0CkUNR

[Tony Plohetski @tplohetski]

And yes, it is a terrible reality that people are being asked to boil water they do not have with power they do not have.

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

Come on.
It feels like a sadistic joke at this point.
We lost water this morning and we’re on a boil water notice up until then.

SUCH A HELPFUL THREAD

[Pflugerville, TX @PflugervilleTX]

While we are still working to get the water distribution system back online, many of you are asking what you can do to help prevent your pipes from bursting. (1/3)

No, wind and solar power are not the main causes of Texas's power outages despite Gov. Abbott's claim on Fox News | VERIFY https://t.co/ZefZpBMW6f

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

This thread hurts me to my core. I’ve laughed with @QuitaC_KVUE, she’s supported me in tough times, and to read this... 😔. I’m sending good vibes to you and your family ❤️

[Quita Culpepper @QuitaC_KVUE]

If you still have hot water, use it to fill empty plastic water bottles, seal them tight, then seal in plastic gallon bags. It’s keeping me and my parents warm for now. Used them to warm up the bed last night and now have fresh ones next to my heart.

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

Were under boil water notices and if people dont have power or a grill/fireplace how are they going to boil water?!? I’m under one but we have a propane grill.

I’m so sad and cold all I can muster is: we need help and we need it two days ago

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

This is what’s happening in Texas. WE NEED HELP. We’re certainly not getting it from state leadership.

Friends I know haven’t had power for almost 72 hours and I can’t get them to my house to help with the little power I have. WHAT THE FUCK

[WFAA @wfaa]

A grandmother slept in her car.

Parents who ran out of firewood burned belongings to keep their children warm.

A Richardson resident watched the battery level of her partner's oxygen machine drain away and desperately sought help to have it recharged. https://t.co/XyLpkBl8Pr

GOOD NEWS ALERT: Pardon my grainy footage, but this is @ManorPolice going door-to-door dropping off cases of water to some of us because of the boil water notice. After two hard days and I know more to come, wow it felt nice to see this. Grateful ✌🏻

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

Hard to tell but cars are surrounding the pumps, which have no remaining gas in #Manor. People are stocking up on little stuff before more possible sleet/ice tonight. Power is out in the store, felt post-apocalyptic to shop like that.

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

@MtHobbit @cityofmanor @KVUE In a few places. My supplier is Manville and it’s currently under a boil water notice. A few others I’ve heard don’t have it at all. Don’t want to make recommendations for things I don’t know but better safe than sorry??

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

My entire neighborhood in @cityofmanor doesn’t have water and we are on the schedule to intermittently have power. @KVUE I also don’t have reliable enough service to update myself on the situation when the power is out.

[Bri Perry @DCBri]

Great thread 👇

[Dyana Limon-Mercado @VoteDyana]

Ppl are rightfully upset about the power outages & y'all know I'm the 1st to call out racism. From what I can tell, the calls about eastern & lower income neighborhoods being without electricity while wealthier neighborhoods are still on, is more of a 2nd hand situation.
