I’m up #waytooearly but at least I’ll be caught up on today’s news from the best journalists in the biz! @VaughnHillyard

@Etsy Still no access to my own account, purchases, what might have transacted w/the hacker who made fraudulent purchases. No excuse to not give me access to my own account. UNACCEPTABLE, Etsy. What's going on there? My case was "escalated" and still it's been months and no resolution.

[Diane Laney Fitzpatrick @DianeLaneyFitzp]

@Etsy What's going on with customer service? I have had an issue with fraud on my Etsy account for a month & can't get any help or support. I can't even close my account w/this issue pending. Not a happy customer.

[Diane Laney Fitzpatrick @DianeLaneyFitzp]

@LindsayAnn_x @Etsy It's been more than a month since my account was hacked, orders went out & were delivered on fraudulent charges after I told Etsy what was happening. Absolutely horrible security at Etsy. All this time and I STILL don't have access to any past orders on my account.

[Diane Laney Fitzpatrick @DianeLaneyFitzp]

@Etsy #11222936 is the most recent. I've had many emails from support, none of them helpful in the least. Are you using automated responses to customer account hacking issues? This is ridiculous.

@Beachbody How do I buy or subscribe to Let's Get Up without having to buy Shakeology? Is there a fitness-video-only option?

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

Do aliens exist? This is a fascinating question and one that @NASA has been trying to understand, explore, and figure out for a long time.

Over to Dr. Lindsay Hays, the program scientist for our Astrobiology Program, for more on the topic: https://t.co/vg2Y2UH550

I love Maria Popova's writings and am overjoyed that she's written a children's book. It's just like her to give the book in its entirety in an email. This is a really sweet story.

You don't have to like #fishing or even to have picked up a fishing pole ever in your life to love "The Common Angler" by Jack Wollitz. It's sweet and funny and poignant. Also, can I just say that we really should be reading more short essays?

Paul Theroux (whose birthday is today, BTW) talks about what the pandemic travel ban has done to our sense of adventure. A favorite novelist of mine, you can tell by his fiction writing that he knows about things beyond his own backyard.

@gatortakes I have devolved C+ handwriting to D- handwriting to saying I'm writing in secret code with a key that dies with me.

[Diane Laney Fitzpatrick @DianeLaneyFitzp]

They say the key to working from home is organization. Thanks to The Container Store, my absurd addiction to graph paper and clipboards, and the invention of the wheel, I'm able to use one small bedroom as my sewing studio and in-home office.
