Hearing @PantsuitPolitic talk about the @JohnFetterman campaign is the delightful mashup I needed to start this Wednesday!

Hey @getgo why is the “chika biscuit” still on the menu when you don’t do biscuits anymore?? But more importantly… why don’t you sell biscuit sandwiches anymore?! 😢

I have reached the “I have literally never heard of the headlining artist for the major spring concert in my life” point in my student affairs pro journey. 👵🏻

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

The confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is historical and powerful and to say I'm thrilled is beyond an understatement. But, fellow white women, this isn't about us. Don't center yourself in this narrative today.

@BatesPhysio Sending strength but also sharing my favorite way to cook too much food - is there a Lasagna Love opportunity near you? https://t.co/7iTW3A4eCJ

As weather warms and more bicyclists are sharing the roads in Oakland… I beg of you… IF YOU ARE IN THE STREET YOU MUST OBEY THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND SIGNALS. Thank you.

@lizgross144 Volunteer as an usher for the performing arts venue and watch every single show that comes through the city!

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

@PNCBank_Help I’m not - must have been a weird little glitch! Thank you!

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

@PNCBank_Help having trouble logging in and then if I am able to login I immediately get a "signed out due to inactivity" notification and then I get the boot? Is it me or the system?

It’s a Friday, a university holiday and a no bones day. I do not exist today.

The kids are alright

[janna elizabeth haider, phd🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 @janna_e_haider]

every quarter i give my students an extra credit assignment to make a meme about something we covered in class. this quarter i taught US History from approx 1815-1920(ish), and the kids had some spicy takes (thread of memes)

[PantsuitPolitics @PantsuitPolitic]

I wonder if it will ever feel unremarkable to see two women behind the president -b

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

We do not deserve Mary J. Blige. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

@DarylLuciani Will do! 💛🖤

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

@DarylLuciani Do you have a Venmo or cashapp? This city needs to buy you a coffee or a beer!

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

I’m so late to this party but @joeymcintyre’s entrance on #averyboybandholiday was EVERYTHING 😂

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

@beekayroot I also get these quite frequently!

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

1.) Ted Cruz can fuck all the way off
2.) Hail to Pitt yinz

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

University of Pittsburgh has published a “gender inclusive” language guide that advises students avoid “ladies and gentlemen.”

Instead, they suggest using words such as “colleagues, guests, all, yinz, friends, people, students, folks.”

Folks, these yinz are cray-cray.

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

Hey @Starbucks why did you let me get my hopes up by letting me add guava to my green tea in the app and letting me get all the way to the long line at the store to discover its actually still out. This is cruel to a ResLife pro in august! Off to reliable @dunkindonuts I go!

[Amanda Ries @amandaries]

Dear travelers of Pittsburgh city streets:

IF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE OUT, TREAT THE INTERSECTION AS A FRIGGIN 4-WAY STOP!

Ya jagoffs.

Love,
Amanda
