@OllyMann @retrospectorshq @KAlexander03 @arionmcnicoll @RebeccaGillie @causwells People in NewHaven won’t take kindly to ignoring @LouisLunchCT though they serve on toast. #NHV #hamburger

@GrammarGirl Thank you! Talking to my friend tonight!

[EdStannardCT @EdStannard]

Dear @GrammarGirl, I can’t figure out how to get the transcript to episode 828 about starting a sentence with a coordinating conjunction and proving to a friend that his editor was wrong! [email protected] if that helps!

[EdStannardCT @EdStannard]

@DFANewHaven @hartfordcourant @newsgirlct @TheLaurelCT Thanks, Aaron. And thanks for posting my 80-year-old photo! I’ll still write New Haven stories. Keep in touch!

A new @GrammarGirl fan, listening start to end and from newest back. A word nerd, I’ve learned a lot! But I’m wondering why so many missing episodes in the beginning!

Russian history in two badges. I got the red badge in 1990 the day the first Moscow McDonald’s opened ( I queued 3 hrs to get in). The other badge I got today when the Russian replacement for McDonald’s opened. McDonald’s quit Russia in protest at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I got to visit the @labreatarpits! My colleagues were absolutely amazing, they let me see everything and even play with the tar! In exchange they asked me to pick my brain and I was like, pick away! Relationships with collections folks are the best!

This clip says a lot about Paul McCartney, and I love this song too.

@retrospectorshq @OllyMann @RebeccaGillie @arionmcnicoll @sophievking @virtualmatthill @rethinkaudio Resigning a chess match is not the same thing as quitting Monopoly. It is what you do when you know you have no chance of winning. You tip your king over and resign. It is a totally proper move. I think few matches end up in checkmate on a professional level.

The @nhregister is working on a major project about the @yalepeabody renovation. Here’s a glimpse of what’s going on.

[Dr. Mariana Di Giacomo @MarianaDGiacomo]

I have the BEST JOB IN THE WORLD. At @yalepeabody today we're working with @ResearchCasting to find the perfect poses for the skeletons we'll have on exhibit. The process is wonderful, we talk anatomy, visitor experience, and a lot of paleontology. No spoilers, tho!

We have a winner! TikTok, Instagram and Twitter have spoken: here's the German owl pigeon, who's going to get treatment first. Get ready!

@emilybazelon I heard on SPG you’re getting a dog! What kind? I hope s/he is as wonderful as Hudson, our 19-month-old pandemic pup, an Australian Labradoodle!

[EdStannardCT @EdStannard]

I love her tweets!

[Dr. Mariana Di Giacomo @MarianaDGiacomo]

Morning staff meeting with the @yalepeabody specimens! I like to ask them about the issues they come with, because I know some of them like to run around and then they get hurt
