How did a DOG FOOD commercial get me all up in my feels?!

[Alexia Branch @am_branch]

@ChristineGV But now you’ve created space to bring home treats for yourself like @ThistlyCross whisky cask cider (trust me on this one)! Legit need to figure out how to get some shipped stateside.

This is truly stunning! 🤩

Here's a timelapse video of last night's #crescentmoon setting behind Space Needle in #Seattle. The still I posted yesterday is one from this sequence. Planned with @photopills and shot with Sony A7R4, Sony 200-600mm lens at 600mm, f/6.3, ISO 1250, 1/8 sec.

Limited time offer: If this gets 100k retweets by Friday, we’ll give everyone a 20% off their in-store purchase next weekend.

A cynical ploy? Perhaps. But frankly I don’t think you can do it anyway.

As U.S. Embassy's sole consular officer in #SouthSudan 2013-2014, I've been at the airport running #evacuations out of a country at war. Risk & scale differed from #Afghanistan, but some challenges on the ground were similar. A thread to share things I learned on the ground. 1/17

Lol, wut? 🤯

THIS is not rain, not ground clutter (the radar beam picking up objects close the radar site --which is in Loudoun County).... the Hydrometeor Classification algorithm identifies this as biological in nature..so likely CICADAS being picked up by the radar beam...

@xpuff_xtina Who came up with this *awful* term?! 🤮

[Alexia Branch @am_branch]

Wow! 🤩

@dlnewlf ¡Bien hecho! For me it was estacionamiento. 😁

[Alexia Branch @am_branch]

.@capitalweather: We’re going to get 4-8” of snow over the next two days...

How can you hate winter with a sunrise like this?! @capitalweather #nofilterneeded

[Alexia Branch @am_branch]

@dlnewlf It follows you overseas as well. Explaining America to foreign audiences is not just for public diplomacy officers.

@JermaineJupiter 2027: the year in which I will see my husband again because of this game! 😭😂

@IBJIYONGI If portability and taste are the issues then you can't go wrong with @barebellsuk bars or @RXBAR. I always have both stashed in my pantry, go bag, car...you get it.
