Looking to get back everything I put into Social Security for the last 50 years.
I am going to change the duvet cover. Please pray for me.

@popville.bsky.social hi, can you ask your squad how everyone is doing with #passport renewal? Is online working ok? Am worried because I know some state dept cuts are affecting the passport office. Thank you!

USDA also has a scientific research agency, the Agricultural Research Service. Ninety locations all over the country, more than 1000 PhD scientists plus techs and admin staff. Is ARS the next to go?
When the Supreme Court approved the administration's dismantling of the research arm of the Department of Education, it opened the door for the administration to do the same thing to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Bonus trips to Indiana and Kentucky!
Booked flights to @seattlein2025.org, and there was a $1200 difference in same-carrier flights going out of Dayton, my closest airport, and the ones going out of Cincinnati (and Cincy had a direct flight going out, trimming 3+ hours off of travel). Sooo, driving the extra hour to CVG, I guess.

Miami University and University of Miami adding to the confusion.
Fun fact: the city of Miami in Florida is named after the Miami Valley in Ohio, which in turn takes its name from the Native American tribes of the area before, you know, all the treaty breaking and genocide and whatnot
Miami…valley?
What?

@popville.bsky.social would appreciate hearing from folks about #Amtrak on-time performance from DC to NYC and back. How long have delays lasted? Should I take a bus instead?

And if they get stuck in a traffic circle they’ll NEVER find their way out.
And that's before getting into mundane issues like DC traffic

hi @credomobile.bsky.social spent 2 hours on hold yesterday before connecting to an agent, now on hold for another 1 1/2 hours trying to complete network upgrade that your info says should take 15 minute. Issue was finally escalated to tier 2 yesterday but no one has contacted me since. Thoughts?

Hey @credomobile.bsky.social so far I have spent two and a half hours on hold trying to upgrade the network for three phones per your dire email directives...followed all the instructions and they do not work without additional phone support...any way this can be made easier?

SSA deposits my benefit into my Bank A account, which is linked to my Bank B account. If I electronically transfer funds from Bank A to Bank B, will SSA be able to reclaim those funds from Bank B?
Sounds like time for anyone who has an account which accepts Federal Deposits to open a second one to move all their cash to; every month.
(that will make "reclamation" less automatic)

Is there any way Bluesky can work on an alternative to Facebook Groups? I'd guess they're a top source of news for tens of millions if not more.
