Right? This is the job you put on your resume.
Okay, so: once you’ve nicked £90m in assorted crown jewels from a national museum, I think it’s safe to say you no longer fall into the “petty crime” category even if you haven’t previously been noteworthy in your field.

(Also Outer Worlds 2 but I haven't been able to play it yet because of a bug. That's PC gaming for ya 🤷♂️)

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

Seriously thinking about changing my first name.
The political climate for it is bad but. I'm almost 40 and I don't really want to spend the next 40 years of my life with a first name I've spent the first 40 trying and failing to like.
I'm tired of flinching every time someone firstnames me.

The world has lost an extraordinary scientist, advocate, and teacher. But her legacy lives on in every person she inspired to care about our planet and its inhabitants.

Most people cannot name a single astronomer. If I could change that to one person it would be Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.
I've never read her thesis. I think I'll fix that.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Had to make the local bookstore check the back because they somehow always manage to drop new releases I'm after into a black hole but I eventually got my hands on a copy. (2 copies actually, otherwise my girlfriend would just steal mine.)
And here it is, at long last! HEMLOCK & SILVER, a weird novel about poison, saints, and the strange things that lurk in mirrors. Out today!

Just saw someone repost this so I thought I'd resurface it for everyone. It's still relevant.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Lots of things are fucked right now but. Taking my datemate and being a Visibly Queer couple at the local farmers market always feels like a tiny act of resistance.
We're in one of the reddest districts in the country and the market is hosted in a church. 🧵

A) Manages to somehow split the difference between fancy butch and Southern Lady
B) Is delightfully heavy
My tiny wrists do not need the sizing chain but the little dragon charm goes with my Smaug tattoo :)
