@British_Airways When traveling with a guitar in an extra seat, would I pay the same price as my seat when I add it on?

@mollyfleck I stopped driving just over 2 years ago since I moved where I can bike/walk/transit for 95% of my time, and the way my stress and anger has dropped in general (still angry about other things) shocked me.

A young woman sits on the ruins of her home in #Dnipro. It's impossible to look at this photo without tears.

I am shocked and disappointed (in myself) that I didn't know these existed in my home state until today.

The only acceptable debate topic with your family this Thanksgiving: Were the Mima Mounds created by giant prehistoric gophers?

(Yes, this is an actual theory by actual scientists.)

@ibwatson Are you Captain America now?

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

@everywhereist yeah, but it’s all these “if this is my last tweet” kind of world ending stuff.

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

My twitter feed is a strange combination of business as usual and the world is ending.

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

Possibly silly question: what's to stop someone from just...rewriting the code for Twitter and launching it again under a new brand?

@GuerillaMemoir I've realized I am 1000% not an every day writer, and the idea that I need to write daily is what always causes me to fail. This year I set a goal to write at least 20 days of the month, and that grace has made all the difference.

@DemsAbroad @DemsAbroadDE Thanks! When I moved, I dropped my last ballot off at the office in WA and they gave me a few stickers to "stock up". I need to find one to wear on Tuesday!

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

Emailed my overseas ballot in today. I forgot to mail it in a couple weeks ago, and wanted to make sure it got counted on Tuesday. WA voters, happy to help you vote from Germany if you need it. ;) @DemsAbroadDE

@gooddirt I feel called out.

Is there anything more eclectic than a writer's Google search history when they're researching possible plot points?

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

@master_nobody Along the same lines, if I'm speaking in my non-native language, you can bet the sober version of me has agonized over what I'm saying a dozen times in my mind. Drunk me is a little less circumspect. And more likely to speak three languages in one sentence.

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

@ibwatson Ooof. Hope there's a nice drink at the end of the day for you, you deserve it!

[Emily Wenzel @_emilywenzel]

One of the odd things about living in Germany is that I've learned you can't trust reviews, because some Germans treat 1 star as the best, and 5 as the worst. So you'll see 1* reviews that say "this is the best product ever!".

This reminds me that I need to check the fit on my kiddo's helmet again.

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.

He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...

Americans don’t need another mega-grocer.

Kroger/Albertsons together would control $1 of every $4 spent on groceries in the US. That’s as big as Walmart, whose power in food has done widespread damage to communities, farmers, food workers, and local grocers.
