What's the pettiest thing you've done for revenge? When Sundance channel charged me $64 for a year w/o a renewal notice and refused to let me cancel, I posted my name and PW to my 50+ women's group. With 2,500 women. At least 20 said they were going to join but didn't need to now! Enjoy.

Many PR people have no idea how journalists work and what makes a story. Take a journalism class. Learn how to write stories/video/radio on deadline. Print reporters want different things than TV or radio. Also, I always want to speak to the actual person who did the thing. Not the PR person.

Masks should never have been politicized. Covid doesn’t care if you’re right or left. It doesn’t care that you’re over it or that you trust your immune system. It’s never too late to start masking again! Every infection avoided or delayed is a win (and a life possibly saved).

I'm unclear how "the world has moved on from the COVID pandemic." COVID is the 5th leading cause of death in the U.S. - right now. It's not a cold. It's not the flu. Even mild cases cause long-term heart issues. The stories mocking people who mask are awful and part of why so many people die.

I would LOVE to see more of this kind of self-promotion from people who are not white dudes. I WANT a variety of voices/jobs in my journalism classes. (Fall: med/sci writing and beg reporting) Teach out to your alma mater/ local college! Email a prof in your area of expertise! #medicinesky

OK but he's been impeached twice, more than any other president. It seems kind of meaningless, at this point, no?

Dear GenX - I do not remember having any sort of "gift bag" at anyone's birthday party. We went to the roller rink, ate cake and left. Am I remembering incorrectly? When did this change? #GenerationX #GenX

This is what I wish folks could understand. Covid disrupts your immune system response, I was fascinated with Covid because of the way it operates very similarly to many autoimmune disorders. It is unpredictable and even 6 months after you're still at high risk of stroke, blood clots, etc.

The @chronicle.com asked 59 colleges under investigation by ED how they would respond if they got a list of demands like Columbia. Nobody would answer the questions, and one university (Wisconsin) called them "ridiculous." We'll find out how they actually respond soon enough.

Long-term heart risks from COVID-19. "A study found that having a COVID-19 infection doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with risks extending up to 3 years." "The risks presented by COVID-19 apply to all patients, regardless of age, gender, or prior health conditions."

Department of Education staff were told today that they had to clear out their offices by 6pm tonight. And the most idiotic people on earth are cheering for this department’s demise without even knowing what it does. This country in the verge of collapse and it’s terrifying.
