@Delta Desperation tweet: we have a little girl that just left her tiny stuffed penguin on the DL1301 flight from MSP to MCO in seat 53J. Landed around 10:05 this morning. Any miracles that can be performed to get him back???

In bed at 9:30 on a Saturday night and honestly, I've never been happier.

Been in 🇮🇹 for 20 minutes. Already stopped to have a pizza.

At the grocery store, looking at everyone's purchases at check out and I honestly want to throw up seeing every single thing wrapped in plastic. This world is f'ed.

Used to pregame before meeting up with people by taking shots. Nothing has changed. It's now just shots of espresso 🙃

Mmmm I love waking up to my neighbor's fresh smell of cigarette smoke 🤢🤮

Current time at the airport: 9 hours.
Still sitting at the airport. Still not boarded. #airportchaos @Delta

[Jessica Schmidt @jessnschmidt]

And now that it's time to board, we have no flight crew, @Delta.... literally our whole day has been at the airport. Some advance warning so we could make alternative plans would have been real fricken helpful

My husband reading with 6 yo and explaining “Miss, Mrs, Ms”: “Isn’t it wild that we created all these different words to tell the world whether or not a woman is married, but not for a man?”

Guy: Coffee please
Flight attendant: Cream or sugar?
Guy: 5 sugars please.

@NorwayPrincess1 @schengen_info I just transfered through there today and it was chaotic. Have a lot of patience, that's all I'll say.

[Jessica Schmidt @jessnschmidt]

Today was the first time I got to the airport and had no idea my flight plan. I knew my end destinations but zero clue on my transfer cities. Oops 😬 . These 6am flights will muck your brain.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Took a PCR test on Day 7 of COVID. Still feel like a dumpster. Still have < 30 CT *cycle threshold* (meaning I still have a s**t ton of COVID in my system). Not cool. Not fun. #CovidIsNotOver

[Jessica Schmidt @jessnschmidt]

We made it 2 years with negative tests. But it will find you. Dammit. #COVID

Sen. Murphy: “Spare me the bullshit about mental illness.

“We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world.

“You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we don't we're not an outlier on mental illness.”
