Thanks to @Discovery @SharkWeek for asking me about my new shark species!
Double thanks to @NOAA for the incredible footage!

[Shark Week @SharkWeek]

Did you see the shark that was swallowed whole by a huge fish? It's a newly discovered species named "Genie's Dogfish," in honor of "The Shark Lady" Dr. Eugenie Clark. 🦈

@DCCirculator @DDOTDC so using the real time map I got to my bus stop 20 min ago for a bus that was three min away. Never came. They’re all sitting in one place not moving. Is there any reliable way to know when the circulator will arrive?

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@DCCirculator @DDOTDC Was it a software issue? I waited for nearly half an hour and no bus came…

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@DCCirculator @DDOTDC care to explain why there are only two circulators going during peak travel time? Clicked on US to find out when a bus would be here and it said no busses scheduled. So much for the every 10 min bus.

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@DCCirculator real-time map isn’t working. Been waiting on a bus for going on 20 min.

@AskSunTrust I would be happy to - could you provide me with a way to do that?

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@SunTrust @AskSunTrust I have been trying to contact suntrust online banking for the past hour and a half and have been hung up on not once, but twice. Help?

@WhySharksMatter @jeanflemma @whiteshark902 Plus - and this is a side argument - promoting eating shark as a sustainable seafood without mentioning the potential health impacts of that is...not the best look.

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@WhySharksMatter @jeanflemma @whiteshark902 This is all part of a broader issue of NOAA saying that the US has the most sustainable shark fisheries in the world. Sure do! But is leading the class with a C- on a test is still not a good grade.

@WhitenackLab I think...you may have to get a potato tattoo now??? 🤣

@washingtongas three hours and 40 min in - call dropped.

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@washingtongas I’ve been on hold to set up new services for an hour and 45 min. Please help.

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

@washingtongas over three hours now. Longest I’ve ever waited on hold. Congrats for that. Not like I have anything else to do today...

I just need to say something: why the fuck would you hurt a manatee.

Congress is now seeing just a small amount of what American school children have gone through for decades with active shooter drills and shootings enabled by their inaction.
