@JohnCornyn , you are supposed to represent Texans. So how come I can't get through on the phone to DC, Austin, or Dallas, and I can't leave a message. When I visited your office in Austin to make a public comment as one of your CONSTITUENTS, they turned me away?

@krackerjackkj Agreed. They should communicate their system outages before a customer has to wait 30 minutes on the phone :(

I need a word for the grief around bureaucratic paperwork after someone you love dies.

I'm not a #trend setter...or a trend follower, for that matter. But negging #hustleculture is a trend I can get behind.

@MattyChymbor @JetBlue I was just on hold for 30 minutes with no indication of how long the wait time was. Grr.

How is it possible that a company with such a good flight experience can have such terrible customer service?

@BreneBrown warns us not 2b “candle blower outers." How do we b the friend who admires the light in others? Know that person's flame is what drew us 2 them. Picture our own flame, always moving, never static.

@NSUFilmStudies Mad skills! And he puts them to good use.

@DanielPoppick Uh, I write about being human? I never know what to say, either.

Puns in poems? Yay or nay? #WritingCommunity

@madsleuth I look forward 2 diving into these readings! I felt different as a kid growing up in a middle class neighborhood & I feel different as an adult, working in a "white collar" job for low pay; so much of my life has been informed by my upbringing.

Yes! Solidarity!

Does the @FAFSA website ever work? What incantations must I say? What sacrifices will please those gods?

@madsleuth People feel defensive when class/privilege is pointed out. As if, perhaps, we were denying their talent, skill, or hard work. "Hard work" is what everyone wants to credit when things are going well.

I have learned to recognize the waveform of my "um" when editing video lessons. #pandemicteaching #teachingin2022
