I like parentheses (see?). I make $ doctating various #content. I also write #poetry; sometimes it's published (e.g., in the Paris Review). Opinions 100% mine.

@MetroNorth the 7:46 out of Tarrytown is already a packed train with fewer cars than before the majority of commuters returned to the office, and this morning it had even fewer than usual. What gives?!

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

Hey @outmagazine, I'm pretty sure this should say "Privacy Policy," but now you've got me curious.

@News12WC I've emailed repeatedly to get this coverage corrected. My name and Elizabeth Brown's are reversed. Where her name appears in the video, mine should appear (Jessica Reed); where my name appears in the article, hers should appear. Please update!

@harpersbazaarus Love love love this review. Please fix the typo in the headline on the page itself (“It’s a Start,” not “Its”!)—it’s a pox on this queer editor’s eyes.

@SteveGosset @TarrytownPD @TheHudsonIndy Why didn’t this make it into the story? More importantly, why didn’t *any* voices from the BLM side make it into the story?

This doesn’t count: “One ac­tivist said the con­sen­sus among BLM sup­port­ers was to ‘ig­nore’ the ral­ly­ers and avoid con­fronta­tion.”

@MetroNorth What is happening on the 8:09 out of Tarrytown? We’ve stopped completely twice, and now one of the engineers is walking around outside the train. No announcement has been made!

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth If this is also the 8:35 out of Tarrytown, it’s just getting later and later. And the 8:54 has been cancelled all together!

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MikelleStreet @outmagazine Also, I read the article and know it mentions it’s the second year for the award. That’s exactly what frustrated me about the headline.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

Dear @outmagazine, this headline is totally misleading—it’s only the second year for this award! Here, I rewrote it for you: “Second-Ever ‘Song of the Year’ VMA Goes to Openly LGBTQ+ Artist Lil Nas X.” 🏳️‍🌈 #clickbait

[Out Magazine @outmagazine]

While the #VMAs might be the first time @LilNasX has taken home a trophy to put on his mantle, it’s unlikely to be his last. https://t.co/Xj81mlP9uD

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MikelleStreet @outmagazine It is absolutely misleading. The headline makes it *seem* like there’s a history of LGBTQ+ artists who have not won this award. Misleading is not the same as inaccurate.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth Why are we paying more for our train tickets to ride on more congested, shorter trains?! People are standing all over the 8:35 out of Tarrytown for at least the third morning this week.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth why is the 7:47 out of Tarrytown crawling along? No announcements, but there’s no way we’re getting in to GC at 8:25.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@Delta Not to sound ungrateful, but how is a gate not available? I see planes taxiing—surely, they’re leaving empty slots.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@Delta Flight 2681 from NYC to SFO landed more than 30 minutes ago, and we still don’t have a gate!

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth 15 minutes is downplaying the lateness. I’m on the 7:47 out of Tarrytown scheduled to arrive at GC at 8:25—we’re only just now passing Marble Hill.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth not only is the 8:10 from Tarrytown running 15 mins late, but it’s short two cars. Wtf?!

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth What does this even mean? You lost a train? Again? This is the second time this has happened recently to this very same departure.

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@MetroNorth 836 Tarrytown to Grand Central, a packed train every morning, cancelled. WTH?

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@KristenBurkeOz @MetroNorth *on :)

[Jessica Reed @thedoctator]

@KristenBurkeOz @MetroNorth And the 6:28 in the track across from us left already. Wtf?!
