@MBTA no one from the T has shown up in Winthrop for the Water Transportation Study open house that was supposed to start an hour ago. Has it been rescheduled again?

@mditkowsky1 It also illustrates the fact that anyone can acquire a disability at any time for any reason.

@misskittykitcat @1800CONTACTS Same here. I called @1800CONTACTS customer service this morning and learned my lenses were on back order from the manufacturer. First I’d heard of this. And how was I even allowed to PAY for expedited shipping on something not in stock? Unacceptable.

@howithinkquotes @MBTA And an ADA violation.

There’s a wonderful Web accessibility community on the other platform. Find them through me. https://t.co/GUoEP4WrTO

Also reprehensible.

@meptrsn @MBTA Yes, I’m among them. I’m an advocate for a rider who has disabilities (and a rider myself, as well), and we can’t share our concerns at a live meeting?!

[Lisa R. Plotnick @LisaPlotnick]

Hey @MBTA — I’d like to voice my opinion on the Better Bus Project meeting tonight but I’m not being let in as capacity was capped at 300 participants? This can’t be right.

Happy 50th birthday to @CarnivalCruise Line! A favorite memory: a tour of #CarnivalGlory when she was at @flynncruiseport Boston some years ago.

He had envisioned a very old and dying man sitting on a porch singing it to his young grandson. Near the end of the song, it was the grandson singing to his grandfather.

I am forever in awe of this man’s talents.

#MeatLoafRIP

4/4

[Lisa R. Plotnick @LisaPlotnick]

Among my favorite concert experiences was #MeatLoaf’s performance of #HeavenCanWait in Boston in the late 1990s. The show was pretty much all-request, with the provision that the person requesting a song had to tell the story of why they requested it. 1/4

[Lisa R. Plotnick @LisaPlotnick]

#MeatLoaf added that the scene would come to him with the opening notes, so he said he’d perform it and share afterwards what had gone through his mind.

After a beautiful rendition — admittedly the first time I’d ever really listened to it — he shared the story. 3/4
