Well, so it isn’t just me getting terrible customer service from @qatarairways

[Azra @Azu592]

@qatarairways extremely poor customer service by the ground staff and on the phone lines!!! Terrible. Please rank Qatar airways as the WORST airline in the World

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

@qatarairways Got excited because I finally went down to five minutes on the live chat. Then it refreshed and I was at 25 minutes. Thanks @qatarairways

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

I understand the situation in Qatar causing them to close their airspace, but Qatar Airlines customer service is terrible. If I can avoid flying them again, I will. My family and I are stranded, the counter agents say they cannot help. @qatarairways

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

@qatarairways We tried calling multiple times and kept getting hung up on. Thanks @qatarairways

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

I just want to get back to the US. And counter agents cannot even help get us on another flight with a codeshare to somewhere else that will help us get home.

Lightning spreads purple
across the sky, revealing
what the summer night
had concealed safely from sight.
I revel in its beauty.

@Twoflower Oh god, those sitcoms are 40 years old now?

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

The sound of the waves
is eternally soothing.
The repetition
brings me back to my childhood
on the Atlantic beaches.

@Twoflower Considering Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were the top romantic couple in the movies… when their relationships in both of their romances were extremely problematic…

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

Overwhelmed by the
weight of their own petals and
the rain that drenched them
they struggle to raise their heads.
They wait for the sun’s return.

Concern for the rose
was alleviated at
the sight of the blooms
shining in twilight’s darkness,
luminescent in low light.

Messages from the
past, early emojis to
celebrate or warn.
Are they happy? Are they sad?
Time does not tell us clearly.

Cutting through like a
jagged blade, the canyon split
in half. The rainy
mist obscures the length and breadth
(as well as breath) in the cold.

@RealisticPoetry I feel like AI can simulate but it won’t be able to substitute how I express myself through my own poetry - it is for others consumption, not my own.

[Crys Lewis @crystinalewis]

The Tianshan fir
peek out above the frozen
lake and endure the
changing of seasons and the
Passing of time patiently.

Looking down at the
“Valley of Castles”, the rain
pummels me from high
As the coldness sets in my
bones I struggle to find words.

This is awesome.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

The National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, part of the Library of Congress, is a free braille and talking book library service for people with low vision, blindness, or a disability that prevents them from using regular print materials.
One way NLS fulfills its mission is via these neat Braille eReaders, which are much more portable than a regular braille book and have internal storage for a whole personal library! Check out https://t.co/UPhewjDaFP to learn more.
