@carolineagid @MBTA And 1521

It’s so cute when it’s 90 degrees out and the red line just decides to not have AC. @MBTA

@MBTA @MassDOT Also roasting on Red Line 1635…

@JazzMeen711 @MassDOT Hi there, you can tell us the four-digit train number and we'll notify train supervision to inspect the climate control system in your train car.

Spilling the T is back for a second helping & in this podcast episode, @MassDOT Acting Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt talks about the bigger picture. Listen to the Secretary's top priorities, like climate change & giving people options. 🎙️Like & subscribe: mbta.com/about/mbta-pod…

Can we please recognize how sad it is that it is taking me longer to get home to N. Quincy from Logan on the Silver/Red Lines than it took for me to fly from DC to Boston? @MBTA Please fix the slow zones and bring back more trains—the Metro made me so ashamed of Boston transit

@KaterinaBeth @MOHELA Ugh they are such a mess....

@KaraMartin488 @MOHELA Update: September showed up today as an ineligible payment period because "no bill was due." I'm hoping the certification form, once processed, will make it eligible. Super annoying. Good luck to you! My 120th payment will be January 2 as long as September counts...🤞🤞🤞

Does anyone know when @MOHELA posts "payment periods"? My PSLF tracker shows 08/2023 as the last payment period. I want to re-certify my #PSLF employment, but want to wait until the signed form will count toward the September period, too.

@KaterinaBeth @MOHELA September was my 120th month but since it’s still MIA from my account, I’m still at 119. I want to get this circus over with… Thanks for at least letting me know I’m not alone! I did go ahead and submit my employer cert anyway.

@KaraMartin488 @MOHELA Nope. And my October payment went through on 10/2. I submitted my recert on 9/29 but still waiting for my employer's sig. October isn't showing up as a payment period yet, either. But the student aid site does say that Sept counts. I took a screenshot to hold on to as proof lol

@olsonkyleg As long as you were in qualifying employment, the months of CARES Act payment suspension count as “payments” towards PSLF. You didn’t have to be making payments!

lol dang it, if I'd kept paying my loans during the pandemic I would be eligible for PSLF *now* instead of in 2.5 years

@williammount @bemyserene What’s the podcast?

@bemyserene Trying to keep my emotions in check and only react if and when something is officially announced. Luckily I have a podcast I can now voice my thoughts about it on. My only therapy.

@jessmartinx3 @Microsoft Seems masochist.

If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.

@AndrewCooker Did you get the texted code yet?

AND WE’RE IN!!!!!! “FAITH WILL BE REWARDED” Good luck to all you beautiful, wonderful people, and I’ll see you for a religious experience in Boston next March. #Springsteen #SpringsteenTour2023

Sitting here checking my email for a message from Ticketmaster about verified ticket access like it contains a vital medical diagnosis. To all my fellow #Springsteen fans in the same situation, “stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive if you can.” #springsteentour2023

A Russian missile hit the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial site in Kyiv today, killing at least five people. President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted: "[W]hat is the point of saying 'never again' for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the site of Babi Yar?"

Barbaric.

@jessmartinx3 @TempleUniv Mom says this is because they thought you were a nut.

@lucymcaldwell Yes, in western NY.

Casually asked my husband this morning if he remembers learning square-dancing in school, and he looked at me as if I’m insane. So I guess it was a regional thing? Were you forced to “do-si-do your partner (and your corner, too)”growing up? If so, where are you from?

@jessmartinx3 I just read most of them aloud to Mom & Dad and they were dying.

Big day for complete sentences.

me going on a stupid little daily walk just to feel something

hi @realDonaldTrump i am asking you to please commute #BrandonBernard's sentence to life w/o parole, and save him from execution. His former prosecutor and 5 of 9 surviving jurors want his life to be spared. He was only 18 at the time of the crime and was not the shooter.
