@APPLE - YOU BETTER BE SENDING SOMEONE TO MY HOUSE TO *PERSONALLY* CHECK MY ID!!! 🧐

This is why I hate Apple...

Finally decided to try @AppleTV, only to discover that @Apple is in the Dark Ages of identity verification. Without an Apple device, it will take 2 WEEKS to verify my identity, in spite of providing verification codes sent to both my cell and my email.

One of our spotters in Williston, VT took this photo of a shelf cloud before it produced pea size hail & 55 mph winds this evening as well as knocking down trees/powerlines in other parts of Williston. Classic signature of a storm that produces strong downburst winds. #vtwx

"I don't know if that made sense" - a smart woman who just made perfect sense.

"Sorry if this is a stupid question" - a brilliant woman asking an important and perfectly valid question.

Winnie at work! We had a great time listening to stories written by Mrs. Hackett's 1st graders! #TherapyDog #vted

There’s a student in your classroom right now, with their head down, in the back row. I promise you, that they have the answer to how we fix the education system. Put them at the center. In the front. Put them in the role of teacher. Watch our system transform.

We had 35 covid patients in the hospital two weeks ago, when I worked the other night we shot back up to 153. My patient the other night was younger than me, I’m 29, he didn’t make it. It’s bad y’all.
