#Amtrak #Fail I tried to board my usual 8:52 train at 8:50, right behind some other guy, but the conductor wouldn’t let me. I showed him my #Amtrak ticket but he yelled “You’re too late!” and closed the door on my arm. Amtrak doesn’t answer at night, so I’m shaming. #DoBetter

This election is classic driver’s ed. If you put the car in D, you go forward. If you put it in R, you go backward.

Retweeting because @Veronica Vera just laid down some important wisdom

What I try to tell myself when my brain starts trying to rewrite good memories into bad ones

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

@Taeshi What a fabulous thread! ❤️

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

Wow. Boarding #Amtrak 283 at NYP to head upstate, and the white male conductor boarding passengers is yelling at us like a wife-beater, red-faced with rage. DO BETTER! Maybe I was spoiled on lovely Amtrak trains to NBK all week? Fix it, Empire Service!

@MarisaElana Thank goodness I was looking for beauty yesterday (image: red rose blooming in lower left-hand corner; green leaves of the rose bush fill the rest of the frame, with occasional glimpses of pale concrete below and behind).

@jephjacques @BrattyBekka Aaaaand I am wrong cause I misspelled it sorry. TI-ju-bas? Ti-JOO-bas?

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

@jephjacques @BrattyBekka But how do you actually PRONOUNCE it? Which syllable actually gets the accent? And is the vowel for the “ju” an “uh” since it comes from “jugs”? I’m guessing TIT-yuh-buhs but would happily be corrected thanks.

@jephjacques Oooooohhhhh please make Elliot’s shirt! I’ll surely buy it! Also, happy for Clinton and Elliot at the moment. ❤️

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

@Taeshi Yes. This. So much this!

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

@Taeshi This is SO TRUE. Not sure the road resurfacing tonight from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am will help with mindfulness tho. Good luck! And thanks for the oh-so-relatable content.

[martha sullivan @marthasullivan]

@Taeshi Yeah, I don’t go near her anymore. Thank goodness the building now has two working elevators!

As clergy, it is literally my job to share opinions about an old, occasionally problematic, document and tell a community how to apply it to their daily lives.

If I had zero opinions about any of it in a job interview, I would not be hired.

@shedd_aquarium Thanks for asking what we’d like to see!
30-second videos of animals like penguins, sea otters, sea lions—anybody who’s extra cute—would make a huge difference. Thanks! -Isolated in NYC
