@ConEdison The assistance @ConEdison provided via dm: call customer service 😂. Total time spent on the phone with them yesterday: 268 MINUTES. That’s 4.5 HOURS. And after most of that time on hold, the helpful rep’s “system” was having problems, so I still don’t have an account set up.

I wonder what the record time on hold with @ConEdison is.
I’m at 174 MINUTES and all I want to do is set up a new account at an address they inexplicably don��t have online.

@VerizonSupport @Verizon 1 hour and 40 continuous minutes and 9 different reps on the phone to learn that 5G home customers can’t manage our accounts online or in app, despite all info to the contrary online and in the “click here to pay” email. Account cancelled.

@RLeeAtwood @ECittadino @nytimes @mack_oxenden But, no! I taught these skills to my fifth graders!

Grave lack of basic information literacy in the @nytimes: @mack_oxenden : “Approx 840,000 children are reported missing each year, according to the Child Crime Prevention and Safety Center.” 1/

By using an unreliable source and presenting info in a manner likely to be misconstrued, @nytimes displays a lack of the most basic journalistic skills and creates undue alarm and fear 5/

The vast majority, typically more than 95 percent, ran away.” As of 2019, from the same @reuters article: “On average, fewer than 350 people under the age of 21 have been abducted by strangers in the United States per year since 2010, the FBI says.” 4/

@NYCMayor @DOEChancellor @UFT as a resident of RI, I can no longer enter NY to teach in NYCDOE, but was denied an accommodation to teach remotely. No answers from DOE, DOH, UFT. Please advise.

@brainpop "BrainPOP will be adding LGBT history to its curriculum in the fall [2016]. " https://t.co/KRK9PxUWmm Is this still in the works?

[Kathleen Gerard @Undodog]

@allisyn I'm teaching a technology for social action unit to 5th graders, shared with them the Earth School video directed to y'all about having a LGBT rights video, and want to tell my kids what the result of that action was. Do you know? Thanks!

Thank you @lisamurkowski and @SenatorCollins for doing the right thing and standing against the unqualified Betsy DeVos nomination!!
