l’m queer brown and fighting for a better/equitable/inclusive govt! Let’s dialogue to learn, feel, and grow!

@flynorse is the worst airlines! So restrictive to rebook & inconsistent with fees. 4 phone calls each agent gave different policies & rebooking fee. The last guy argued he was right at $300 rebook fee + fair difference; my flight was $299. Going to Virgin Atlantic ✌️#nevernorse

@AskAmex heads up the DAD Airport Orchard Lounge is a scam. They are only letting business class in and they are renovating so “limit” space. You can see into the lounge and it is 1/2 empty! This is the second time I am having a bad lounge experience. Going to cancel this card!

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@McDonalds Thanks for the outrech. I sent you a DM.

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@McDonalds your location at 2328 Georgia Ave NW, DC is consistently terrible. As a service worker, I depend on a meal after my night shift - this 24 hour location randomly closes when I am in the drive thru, doesn’t take credit card and has the worst customer service.

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@AskAmex I’m trying to figure out how to get the 150k bonus points offer for the AMEX platinum. when I applied directly on the site the offer was only 80k, through a referral link with a friend I’m seeing 125K. is 150 K even possible?! what magic do I need to do? 🙏

@united @united we are on UA6067 and most of us have missed a connection and have been on the tarmac longer that the duration of the flight here. #fixit

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@united we are now hitting the two hour mark of stilling on the IAD runway without water, food or information. This is terrible! #fixit

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@united @united yes. We were giving water 45 minutes ago. They just said the delay was due to weather, and the ground crew being backed up. The weather (is rain) but it really sounds like a United staffing problem here. How can passages get compensation for this experience?

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@united we have be stuck on the tarmac for over 90 minutes at Dulles! We need food, water and very little information - what is going on? So many connections missed, flight delays per customer conversation. This is a mess! #fixit

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@alpfa is an amazing affirming space! So thrilled to have had lunch with so many amazing students! Can’t wait to see where they go! #alpfacon #alpfa50

Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. I was exposed at work here in CA. I’ll vote proxy this week rather than travel to D.C. I have the usual symptoms, especially a sore throat, so I’m communicating via text—and whiteboard.

[Jill Biden Archived @FLOTUS46Archive]

For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies.

Today, that right was stolen from us.

And while we may be devastated by this injustice, we will not be silent. We will not sit back as the progress we have already won slips away.

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

Equity is always 1 step forward & 2 steps back. When power is challenged, fears ignite their need to oppress the marginalized. We must sit in this discomfort, learn from it. Then gain the emotional & mental strength to fight for equity. Everyday 👏🏽 #RoeVsWade #AbortionRights

It’s been a minute is this 🎤 still on?!

@vuelling Emma, Supervisor at Ibiza airport gate 6 was incredibly racist to a black passenger & then 2 mins later to 4 Indian passengers. She was inconsistent with bag checkin and the cue to get on the flight. Address Emma’s racism now! DM me. #racist #vuelingracism #ibiza

@alex_abads 1000% Emotion was a masterpiece! 😍

@IKEAUSAHelp Experiance like these shopping at Amazon or other retailer with quick return process more appealing. I hope you will fix this, as no one should risk there health at IKEA for over 90 minutes to return 7.55 worth of product!

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@IKEAUSA the College Park, MD return line is terrible. After a 38 min, I learned I still have 19 people in front of me! I completed the return process online while waiting. This is terrible! #fixit #poorservice

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@IKEAUSAHelp @IKEAUSAHelp this is just sad. I am lucky that I can take the risk and have the time to wait but this is a very inequitable customer experiance process. With all the automation we should have been staffing across the store. Thank get the labor shortage.

[Melvin Thomas @DCMelvin]

@IKEAUSAHelp @IKEAUSAHelp when I was to talk to a store supervisor to provide feedback, I was told they are very busy but I should use the kiosk to give feedback. The kiosk was not even plug in so the battery on the tablet to give feedback is dead.
