Another Easter bunny! This time, it's an escaping rabbit, from a breviary or prayer book created c. 1335 for Marie de St Pol, who later founded what would become known as Pembroke College Cambridge (@pembroke1347).

@CenturyLink @MrShakeNBacon No acknowledgement by @CenturyLink that there is an issue. No response to DMs or ability to speak to a real person. I’m sure @CenturyLink will see cancellations from those in areas where they don’t monopolize the industry. Shamefully poor customer service.

[Dr Alexa McCarthy @alexaj_mcc]

@CenturyLink @sheriann515 I have sent a DM after being on hold with no response for over an hour. Website isn’t loading properly. Chat says over 99 people in queue. Please acknowledge the issue and help us out. I need to be able to work.
