LA's 311 service has been destroyed. Shame on whoever is responsible. Website does not work. Waited a half hour on hold. No response. Just need a replacement recycling bin. Used to take one email and a photo. Now... People should lose their jobs.

UPDATE: So I did an end-around and called LA Sanitation where I was quickly laughing with the operator who set me up with the needed fix. But 311 even with the Ap is a disaster.

Adrian Hill = compromised or incompetent. It was a national game and the whole country saw it with their own eyes. There should be an investigation. A missed or overturned call is one thing. Half a dozen? Embarrassing. NFL, fix your product.

CHARITY/SELF-PROMOTION ALERT! Help a great cause and snag some great reads. A pair of independently published genre anthologies are being released with their proceeds going to Future for Ferals. I humbly contributed an observational piece to the 2nd book MORE FUTURE FOR FERALS.

A beautifully executed, thought provoking book. Check it out.
Looking forward to this and more as I gallivant across the country later this month visiting schools with PEARL! #BookTour @GraphixBooks

Shout out to everyone visiting So Cal for @PowerMorphicon . I hope the event proves to be all the fun and the celebration of the franchise it and you deserve. I don’t feel welcome anymore so I won’t be there but I honestly want you to have a blast! Go-Go!

Writers new and old… Check out this thread. I’ve been on both sides for three decades now. Read what @HwoodScrptReadr has to say and keep it in mind.
Confession time. For a brief period over a decade ago I too was a reader for a widely known coverage service. I hated it – and not just for the abysmally low pay. One thing I love about my now much more reasonably paid job is that I can share my true and unvarnished opinion. 1/12

Nice to scroll through the listings and see that something I wrote is about to air. A tiny shred of proof that I still exist. #Spidey #DisneyJr

MLB Umps need to held accountable. Performance review determines pay? Watching the home plate ump in Philly tonight makes me want robot umps.

Power Rangers’ writer, and all around great guy Kevin Rubio, is in need of a help. Please consider helping out.
If you love the #StarWars/Cops spoof "Troops," consider repaying the joy it gave us at #writer/director Kevin Rubio's #cancer GoFundMe. He's a great writer & a great person, & Hollywood freelancing = no good health insurance despite working one's butt off. gofund.me/8321ab30

@ACElecConnect 2 hours with your bots and even after another hour on hold with a human… just let me close the account at my dead parents’ home!!! Someone else owns that house now! My dad cannot create an account from heaven! Customer service FAIL!

This is a great thread. Scrolled down and kept nodding and muttering, “Yep.”
What actor or actress did you expect would have a big career, but then disappeared?

This post and her two follow ups puts it well… #purpleday
It's Purple day: World's epilepsy awareness day.💜 Epilepsy is not just a seizure. It's the lack of control; family worried faces, forgetting medication, the crippling anxiety, the depression, the body jerks. It's the fear of not waking up next time, the medication side effect.
