I’m on the YELLOW line from Huntington. Was busily looking at things on my phone with my earphones in. I begin to hear some chatter behind me. I look up: We’re at Arlington Cemetery. ARLINGTON CEMETERY IS NOT ON THE YELLOW LINE. Now we’re literally back-tracking to…get on the right track…#wmata 🤦🏻♀️

Couldn't be happier to be leaving X/Twitter, especially given that their new terms of service will allow Elon Musk to use your tweets, photos and videos to train his AI bot, Grok, starting tomorrow. I don't think so. # GoodBye indeed.

Hello, Bluesky. My first post: Two of some of the most important and adorable beings in my life; my cat-son Winston, and my cat-daughter Yuzu. They are the lights of my life. I hope this platform will be a place where we can all find solace in the cute things.
