Hey @Delta how come your FA on flight DL315 made me turn my personal HEPA off for the last 15 minutes of the flight? It’s been fine for the last 30k miles I’ve flown. Is there a policy against clean air?

@itsmichellehann It’s like the McDonald’s hot coffee case. It’s easy to victim blame until you look at the actual details. A toxicologist showed how much caffeine it had compared to a shot of espresso. They could have made it caffeinated without making it insanely caffeinated with free refills

@marycatherinecr @itsmichellehann I don’t know. I don’t think the public would assume the amount of caffeine in a caffeinated lemonade would be more than a big Starbucks coffee. It’s a family causal dining with self serve drinks. . Readily available would be on the dispenser or the cup.

@jhary_lee I realized I was out of a psych med on a Thursday. Couldn’t get a hold of my psychiatrist. Called my PCP and asked her if she could prescribe me at least a few days of pills. She said no. I said I was going to go into withdrawal which is dangerous. She told me to go to the ED 🤬

@AshleyGWinter So many older “classic” books are completely male centered. I just change them when I’m reading them (both to my male and female children). We use gender neutral work terms- postal carrier, fire fighter, police officer. It’s so hard when “he” is the default for everything.
