My Instagram account has shifted to mostly being about my art and I realized I hadn’t introduced myself there, so if you’re interested in a random smattering of facts: https://t.co/GSFmAYwY4q

@PatLoeb @SEPTA Hope you made it home okay! My normal reverse commute on the PAO takes about an hour door-to-door normally. Today it was three hours across three buses...

It would appear there are no Harvard bound red line shuttles at Haymarket. Wait at government center instead. Learned the hard way after waiting 45 minutes. @MBTA needs to make the detour more clear. There is a sign at Haymarket.

@andreamatranga @DcDirtyside I’d imagine ridership would make it worth the stop. Reminds me of how the Acela stops at Providence— only slighter farther from Boston than Detroit is to AA.

@RivanStinson You’re from Wayne county, that counts!

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

@RivanStinson Yeah the bride was ultimately fine with my leaving for several reasons, no hard feelings there. I guess my "hot take" is some wedding timelines are just too packed and rest breaks benefit everyone, including the couple.

I think this is a necessary thought to have in order to survive Midwest winters 😂

@lukose__ @AckermansNicole The Sandhill cranes at Arby’s is a little disturbing— was going through a McDonald’s drive-thru once and there was a crane hanging out in the parking lot. Clearly knew of and was waiting on fries to be tossed his way 🫤. Apparently it’s not that rare!

@BFryback @_rickpaty Ann Arbor is worth a visit and it’s definitely not necessary to have a car to see the best of it! Station drops you off reasonably close to downtown.

@GrendelDotWulf @the_transit_guy Was looking for someone that also said Hell! It’s definitely a place that can be visited, albeit a touristy one 😂

famous photos + the cameras they were shot on (a thread):

JetBlue has a normal beverage cart service but for snacks you better have your mind made up when the basket comes through or “no soup for you!” 😂😂

(I actually appreciate the snack menu announcement as someone that likes to be prepared but it’s a bit aggressive)

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

@RivanStinson I’m slowly learning that 😂

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

Back in Ann Arbor for the game today and it turns out I’ve been there all season 😂

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

@StreetcrScholar Thanks, definitely the most fun location I’ve seen it!

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

Would consider a doctorate if I knew there was a tiny diploma at the other side 😂

[Kyle T. David 🍄 @KyleTheDavid]

My university sent me a pocket sized version of my doctoral degree, is this common? I guess just in case I get pulled over by a cop who needs credible information about the ecological and evolutionary consequences of whole genome duplication

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

@alexacaruso Thank you! I think I knew at one point you were here but I’d forgotten— would be fun to catch up sometime!

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

Got off the red line at Park Street just in time for the explosions earlier. Almost got trampled as people fled. Just moved to the city and paid for a monthly pass yesterday 😂 #mbta #baptismbyfire

[Emma Bumstead @embstead]

@RivanStinson Literally just did! Moved in to the new place a week ago 😂 This really is my welcome gift.
