Hi @x, please reinstate the @seamlessbayarea account! All we did was report a fraudulent account that was using our brand & name - we didn't violate any rules. It's clearly a mixup. But it's been over 72hrs since our appeal; we still got no explanation of what rules we broke.1/2

If this tweet gets 100 RTs before the Shelter in Place Order takes effect (12:01am 3/17), @EvilleAlly and I will make an instructional video related to Sheltering in Place and set to music (which we may let you vote on) in the next week. We will post it here.

REMINDER: The advice "always store dates/times in UTC" is shortsighted. Valid uses of local time include scheduling, birth dates, and more.

Important: @clmarohn on why better land use and wetlands wouldn't have saved Houston from #HurricaneHarvey. strongtowns.org/journal/2017…
Piling On Houston

Piling On Houston

Anyone suggesting that more wetlands or more pervious surfaces would have done anything to mitigate what has happened in Houston is lacking a proper sense of scale.
