Love @garboslobster story, it’s family owned and a lot of TLC is put into making their lobster rolls and crab cakes. Celebrating their new opening on Lamar (at the 626 N. Lamar space previously occupied by Counter Cafe). #garbosonlamar #lobsterrolls #atxeats #eeeeeats #eatingatx

For the second time in Austin weather history, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Warning. Not a watch, not an advisory, but a warning. trib.al/pDFv6F5

URGENT: Carriage horse collapsed in distress right now at 45 St/9th Ave unable to get up, likely from heat distress. @NYCCouncil @NYCSpeakerAdams @NYCMayor - the world is watching. This horse may die, like many others. We must pass Intro 573 to end this abuse! @BobHoldenNYC – at Manhattan, NY

Just discovered a new writer @Rigorous_Mag and had to tweet praise for @MonicaWoo3 and her compelling true story about her Chinese mother, the "escort nun." Would love to see more from this writer! rigorous-mag.com/v5i1/monica…

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

How refreshing that our president-elect is already at work to unite and heal - ready to serve everyone who voted for this ticket, and everyone who didn’t.

Went out to brunch to celebrate the victory. Ordered a large mimosa, telling my server I was celebrating. The manager comes over at the end of meal to offer a free dessert because I was celebrating. Isn’t everyone ? But yes, I’ll take a free dessert. #breadpuddingforBiden
