@NextSlideYT is my new favorite thing, and I love everything about this channel. My new greatest career goal is to be cool enough to be a guest and tell these fantastic humans about the 1904 Olympic marathon or learn about the evolutions of crabs.
@TheGoodDeath I just wanted to let you know, your video on Hart Island helped me to bring my friends so much peace when NYC was at its worst. I'm calling my senators tomorrow about LA's current crisis, but I wish I could do more to return the favor in your time of need.
I've been circling back to the whole GOP rep "you can't make me walk through a metal detector" thing for days, and I have so many questions, but the biggest one is this:
You mean to tell me that they didn't have to walk through one to get into the Capitol building before this?
@CheapScholar I'm making college cheaper through my university's industry partners! Drexel gives tuition discounts to members of their partner orgs. It's well worth the price of those memberships (I save 20% on tuition for being a member of Americans for the Arts for ~$35/yr).
@dylanjvogtman@IanSams@Sethrogen @ysimpsonpower Hi there! I'm here asking for government action to help people, and I'm asking for it for you, too. Consider this a formal request. Send me your tax bill if you want, but your inability to care about your neighbor's needs cannot hold the rest of us back.
I love it when privileged white men tell me that my feelings and the feelings of those who stand to lose more than I do in this election don't matter. That's my favorite game to play.
@oneunderscore__ You're not nuts, but I personally disagree with you about his meaning. No one from Queens/Long Island says "I wish them well" unless they're in the process of dying, or in a situation where they will be soon. He sure made it sound like she'd be dead within a week.
@DrOz, I want to understand what you said, so please clarify. When you said that 2-3% mortality from COVID would be acceptable if we reopened schools, were you saying you were okay with kids dying? Or were you thinking teachers? Custodians? Just wondering who's disposable here...
I'm waiting for the day when @maddow gets on TV and stares at us in silence for 30 minutes before screaming (no words, just screams) into the camera for 25 min and crying softly while tidying her desk for the last 5. I don't think it's too far off, and it's what we deserve rn.
@KimberlyNFoster I’m a New Yorker, but old tour guests of mine from Germany actually emailed me to say the coverage of NYC that’s on German news channels is third-world war zone stuff, “worse than everything here in Europe.” The subject line of the email was just “Holy Shit.”
*deep inhale*
@SenSchumer@SenGillibrand@IRSnews, please explain to me why unemployment benefits and SS are considered taxable income. I was under the impression that the SS/unemployment taxes I paid went towards helping people, not taxing them again, and I'm so mad right now.
@NikkiHaley Did you forget that the NEA and NEH are made of people? And that they’re working tirelessly to help other people whose lives and work have been upended by this crisis? Or do folks like me not count as people to you?
@RosaGoldensohn I’m a theatre maker and a tour guide, both in NYC. Guiding isn’t prohibited yet, per se, but it certainly isn’t going to pay the bills anymore - we’ve had cancellations by guests left and right. And theater is just about completely shut down.
