Mom, bike commuter, standard issue nerd. I help others listen, in both formal and informal ways. Forever an east coast kid.

Haven't yet published anything on my dissertation. It's about a Twitter community, so posting it here counts, right? https://t.co/oUGHJvsiAt

Got in. Same experience as most others: no tickets available. I’m curious to know if any actual humans bought tickets in today’s presale.

[Jodi Sperber, PhD @jsperber]

I am still in the queue for the #restlesslegtour in #Boston, but can easily head to a reseller to get overpriced tickets in an instant. @Ticketmaster is a broken system.

@keithgrimes I definitely resonate with this. I’m out in the woods almost daily and rarely bring headphones. I do bring the dog, though. :-) Nature provides the best soundtrack. Best way to clear my head and gather my thoughts!

[Jodi Sperber, PhD @jsperber]

@JulieKashen @CharlesFinch Yes!

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

Home Hospital is one key component to making the public option work via @HarvardBiz article from @JohnToussaintMD and team https://t.co/zobmLs8xOf
Great timing given the @CMSGov announcement today expanding the hospital into the home! #homehospital

And here we are.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Stacey Abrams should have been Governor but for voter suppression. A lot of people would have been turned off politics. Instead she went back to work and here we are.

A statement from the projected next president, and a statement from the current one.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The first one-term president in thirty years, and the only one to lose the popular vote twice.

Congrats on making history, @realDonaldTrump.

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

[Kara Goucher @karagoucher]

As my grandfather lies in a bed struggling to take his last breaths due to Covid, I’m not sure I’ve ever read anything more offensive or tone deaf in my life.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Trump and Republicans held a mask-less, crowded, superspreader event at the White House in order to jam through a Supreme Court justice who may strike down the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic.

Doesn’t get more on brand than that.

[Jodi Sperber, PhD @jsperber]

I am Jewish. Sadly, I have a number of relatives who voted for Trump, and still believe in his rhetoric and lies, at their own peril. This is unacceptable.

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us.

@realDonaldTrump If you can...

- file taxes online
- register to vote online
- pay taxes by mail
- buy stock online
- renew your license online
- renew your passport by mail

You can vote by mail, too, just like the president.

Yours from Frorida
