@TWSaint My last college bar hangout was at Rainbow. Good spot :)

@sharkknees That might be the cleanest whiteboard I’ve ever seen. Miracles can be accomplished on that board!

[Ruth Whaley @medieval_ruth]

@sharkknees Hooray!! There can never be too much eggnog 🎉

@StPaulSaints Well thanks, @StPaulSaints...now I’m the weirdo crying on the subway

I signed up- let’s help students and teachers! Thanks for putting this initiative together @AOC team!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

🚨We need your help!

Remote learning is hitting working families hard & worsening inequality.

To help, Team AOC successfully launched a Homework Helpers program. Now we want to grow to 3k volunteer tutors!

Can you give 1 hr/wk for 4 weeks?

Join us! ➡️ https://t.co/yI2Qrj2J5c

Ugh, I can't believe I need to go down this road, but let's discuss a case study of how the Western idea of illness in leaders shifted from acceptable to a sign of weakness and effeminacy. Let's talk about King Alfred's hemorrhoids. #MedievalTwitter

👋 It’s day 1 of Phase 4 and we've been disinfecting 24/7.

We still need you to wear your mask. They're available for free anytime at booths, and starting today volunteers are handing out thousands on subways and buses.

I’ve noticed there are two types of coronavirus tweets: “people who were in New York City in April” and “people who weren’t in New York City in April.” The urgency/panic from those of us in that first catagory is because we saw a literal nightmare we’ll never forget

Congrats @StPaulSaints on a truly fantastic #NopeningDay celebration!

[Ruth Whaley @medieval_ruth]

@TWSaint Sorry, no one’s choosing you over her.

[Ruth Whaley @medieval_ruth]

[Cathedral of St. John the Divine @StJohnDivineNYC]

A favorite activity at the Cathedral is to make texture rubbings from surfaces inside our great building in the tradition of pilgrims across the world. You can also do this fun craft project at home to help you see your space in a whole new way! https://t.co/5oA5hJDKWd

@TWSaint It’s their job to handle pickles. They’re professional pickle handlers. I’m ok having higher standards for them than I would myself, as I am not a professional pickle handler.

I am the god damn plague/Renaissance police and I will be issuing citations anytime I see these takes on the TL. No. Absolutely not. I rebuke all of this.
