If I am writing about a #CrossBorderRail line in Europe, there is a VERY GOOD CHANCE that I know the fundamentals about it

Sure, I might not have read that 1987 impact assessment, or some 1952 railway company manual about it, but I am going to know why/if it's broken, and have ideas how to fix it

Because THIS IS MY JOB

So please reply to toots with that in mind

I know most of it isn't malevolent, but to receive replies as if I am utterly clueless gets very tiring

@jon glad to see that also men get mansplained sometimes 🫠😉

At the same time, as someone who follows you, cares about this topic, but IS utterly clueless, I like replies that explain things.
Also, replying to people is MY job, and we always say, with public replies you’re not just doing it for the benefit of the person who posted, but also for everyone else who might read it.

Wait, did I just mansplain comment replies to you? Mea culpa! Whoopsie

@hpod16 I have generally taken to calling it trainsplaining 🙂 But yes, it is always men. And yes, I know social media is full of bullshitters, but on these topics I am not making shit up. Really!

Mhhhh I like trainsplaning. Do you have that copyrighted or can I use it in a video?
