Just gotta say @target you have no idea how happy it made me when I saw these in store last week.

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

@ViolenceObscene I mean, I don’t know anything about other human beings or why they are the way they are. I’d say it hasn’t stopped me from writing about them, but that too would be a lie. Guess I’ll go talk to people and you should go ride a horse.

I was able to get the prongs out and used one of the USB power adapters from our iPhone charger 😰 does it matter?

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

@getnanit hello Nanit, when I pulled the plug out of the wall the prongs got stuck in the outlet. They have detached from the cord and without switching the breaker I can’t remove them, but I can still use my Nanit. What can we do? How can I get a replacement cord? Thanks!

Quick thread:

The suspect in today’s standoff rattled off a bunch of conspiracies on Facebook Live on his way to DC. Election fraud, Trump reinstatement, weird stuff about coins.

One, though, seemed personal.

Afghan refugees would get free healthcare, he said, and he doesn't.

They sure did make a budget, for a fantasy place where rent is only $700 a month and all utilities are $80. Insurance? Who needs it! CNBC Budget for 35,000K (double minimum wage btw) https://t.co/8EFbWlPfyZ

@ViolenceObscene Does Sean have a Twitter handle for following? These are so rad. Loved the cover art too 💕

@ECAbrams I think we’ll know what we want when we see it.

A good friend wrote an amazing book! It’s a fantastic romp with eldritch fun and you should already be reading it: His Ragged Company: A Testimony of Elias Faust - Book 1 https://t.co/GOqVvIXDme

@asuoutages Appears to be an issue again this morning. Any updates?

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

@JoeBiden and @SenSanders thanks for all you’re doing to help folks. When you get the chance, please look into separating insurance from employment. This system doesn’t make sense and causes problems like requiring crowd funding for medical care 😭 https://t.co/uUofJwKY4Y

@Alexander_Miles Reminds me; there are various sources to read, and a few webcomics, on the benefits of ‘thank you’ instead of ‘sorry’ — even a marketing study I read, though the “manipulation of self esteem” sounds crass. Either way, thank you 💕

@Dreft there are no physical retailers that sell Dreft Powder detergent in my area. Walmart online had 2 in stock for the regular retail price $12.36 but sold out before I could checkout. The next closest is some 3rd party on Amazon for over $60?! Please add to your Amazon store.

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

@Dreft I received a sample package of the Newborn detergent in my Amazon registry gift box and liked it so much I bought a full sized bottle but it smells completely different. Like bubblegum 😕. Are there different scents?

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

So cool!

@realDonaldTrump Wonderful. It sounds like a glowing endorsement for single payer healthcare and a boost to ACA. After all, in order to make this statement so confidently, I imagine all Americans will have access to the level of care, medications, and quality treatment you had, paid by taxes.

@acog my OB recommended the AJGP tests because I have verified genetic markers for Ashkenazi Jewish descent via 23andMe ancestry testing. Despite the increased carrier risk my insurance says these aren’t medically necessary. Are there experts or resources you could point me to?

[Anie Miles (she/her) @AnieMiles]

@Cigna I am Ashkenazi Jewish descent and part of an at-risk population for passing genetic diseases. Can you help me understand why the @acog recommended AJGP tests were denied? Looking at pg. 4 https://t.co/F4SaRet1qh
