The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute.
@lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉

@CopyrightLibn Same problems, different reasons. July ‘20 I got 12 Rubbermaid tubs & divided the closet into 12ths, labeled by months. They live in the garage. Nothing new in 1.5 yrs and Thurs pm opened Oct bin & it’s like I have all brand new clothes cause I haven’t seen them in a year!

@emilyrota Personally it'd be highly dependent on WHERE the bathroom line is... only fun places!

@drfarls Mississippi. Multiple times a day. Always cracks me up when friends from other states or countries visit and ask "Would it be possible to see the Mighty Mississippi?!?" "Oh, sorry, we've crossed it 7 times already. I never think to point out 'the River'"

This photo has been haunting me all week. I even texted my mom about it while watching live coverage 6 days ago. J.W. Booth in the crowd of Lincoln's 2nd inauguration. I understand not allowing fear to control us, but don't we also claim to do better when we know better?

Seeing the tweets remembering Sandy Hook reminded me of where I was when that news broke. I was stuck at an uncontrolled intersection, in a funeral procession for my grandpa, trying to get across the street from the church to the cemetery.

@Chasten While serving up my piece yesterday I asked if my parents wanted any. Mom said no cause she prefers her pumpkin pie for breakfast.

@dbackes42 @MNpets Aaron & Tylee just got a terminal diagnosis on their Scottie and then had to suddenly put down their Cairn. Paige loved the cabin so Aaron and Dad just took her up to join her sibs. Sorry for your family loss.

I already confirmed last week that my ballot has been received and recorded. Why am I punishing myself in this way???

Can you guess the classic children’s book by its one-star review on Goodreads?

"...I guess I am an old fuddy-duddy and not cosmopolitan enough to appreciate the intellectual slant of the cow rebellion for better living conditions." https://t.co/wdlua5V5H7

In those moments I’m ready to walk away from social media, a thread like this comes along and I’m willing to give it one more day.
