@wmata "time-sensitive," but make sure to screw up the system with a disabled train a few days ahead of time just to be sure you don't lose your sterling reputation
Thanks to people like Erin for keeping a focus on this hate, which has real impact on suicide rates of trans youth. It's not hopeless: there are ways to stop and reverse this trend. Lives are at stake. Fairfax County VA among others are pushing back. https://t.co/QQ0cih801q
This thread captures yesterday's heartbreaking process of North Carolina (with a House supermajority gained by Tricia Cotham's shady post-election party switch) passing anti-trans bills using dishonest arguments and bad data. The danger is moving north & into Dem-governor states
The senate has overridden the veto of a gender affirming care ban in North Carolina.
The ban is now law.
This will hurt trans kids statewide and puts North Carolina in the category of the states with the worst anti-trans laws.
It also passed Don't Say Gay and a sports ban.
President Biden: "Today, I want to send a message to the entire community — especially to transgender children: You are loved. You are heard. You’re understood. And you belong." https://t.co/lhbkQlXWgI
@wmata Still means trains running 20 (or 24) mins on the entire orange line for majority of Metro's operating hours. Big notices about changes to one spur, "check website" to see it really means reduced service for entire line. Never gonna be #backtogood w/ poor communication & service
This has been happening for at least 3 weeks. Not the biggest mess WMATA is ignoring, but...proof it's not just a fluke on one bad evening https://t.co/1Ja8lhJMNI
@FIXWMATA @wmataGM This has been the case for at least a couple of weeks, but I didn't bother to screenshot it until last night's multiple debacles. #FIXWMATA indeed.
Happy birthday to possibly the most unhappy soul on this whole website, @MattNegrin. Fighting the good fight because consuming that much political media would kill the rest of us.
@jessicadrun Amen. Copyediting (ahem) certain publications that use this style is particularly difficult when you don't know Chinese. Can't easily check the source without the characters, and pinyin doesn't help much.
From @russianmachine's @peterhassett: "The NHL...is a garbage league staffed by goons and led by ghouls, all needing media training so that they don’t accidentally reveal their moral turpitude. Cast them into the sea and replace them with humans." https://t.co/pw2JaQj8cb
