@heymrsbond In my phonetic transcription class we discussed whether ‘caught’ and ‘cot’ are homophones depending on regional accent. For instance, in the South, they are. Interestingly it was dependent on the accent of the transcriber, not the speaker, that affected the transcription.
@RepLuna@KatyOnMSNBC@RepCohen@KatyTurNBC Ok, It’s not your fault. Do research. Come up with ideas and solutions. Tell us what you are doing to help solve this. America’s families are desperate for a solution. The only posture I’m seeing from GOP leadership is defensive. Show us this matters to you. With actions.
If America is the greatest country in the world, I shouldn’t be terrified to send my child to school. You have power. Use it to change things or we will vote you out. Time is ticking. I pray more children don’t die while DC plays the blame game.
@RepLuna I am your constituent. I wrote to you yesterday to advocate for change in response to the shooting yesterday. This was your response. “Unfortunately, politically motivated prosecutors are often not prosecuting violations of the gun laws that we have.”
To see shooting after shooting and the knee jerk reaction to be “not my fault, not my problem” is unacceptable. If your viewpoint is that it’s the prosecution, go after that. If it’s mental health, go after that. DO SOMETHING. Other than point fingers.
@CircleKStores shoutout to your employee Angel in Largo, FL. He went above and beyond to make my 3 year old smile today. His positivity makes that store a better place and brightened our day! Thanks Angel.
@EbunoluwaFalade “I’ll say it again. If you make a mistake, that’s fine, we’ll work on it.”
With my name I find that people are so afraid to offend me by making a mistake that they won’t try. I try to be generous and assure them that mistakes are part of learning, and I’ll help them get it right.
@defininggrace@bessbell We’ll give them a try! If it’s too scary we’ll return to the deep familial trauma stories (Encanto and Lilo and Stitch) he loves so dearly 🙃
