Also, most ridiculous travel thing that happened to me: after finding our seats on a flight from NYC to London, my husband realized he left his winter coat at security. I'm panicking bc it's December and that was a nice coat that we now have to replace ASAP. We wait for 30...45...60 minutes on board until they announce that something needs to be reset on the plane and they are going to de-plane everyone for 30 minutes to fix it. We ran off the plane and found the jacket at TSA lost and found and damn if that wasn't the miracle we needed. Also bc of EU travel requirements, we were all compensated $400 for the delay.
Hello! Chat only available to iPhone users, but Android users can get in through a web browser (though for this, it took a while to get there.) I'm loving this! You're the third substacker who has excitedly opened up a chat and it feels lovely to be a part of this as it grows. :)
As for ridiculous travel stories...I once had to check a carry-on because the winestopper I bought AFTER SECURITY was deemed a weapon while getting on to the connecting flight...pro-tip, don't argue with someone with a AR-15 about what constitutes a weapon. (Looking back (it was 20 years ago), I had no clue how stupid that was of me and how lucky I was to be white in that situation.)
"it's like Twitter for people who like me" is the only Twitter I want to be a part of. Thanks for the invite!!

Best headline ever. I'd much prefer your version of Twitter.
Just kidding - Android users can comment on posts *about* the chat app, but apparently not get into the actual chats themselves. :(
