Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.
From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Social diversification & cultural liberalization are ongoing; political backlash is a sign of the change, not its end. And it is hard to fight social change with policy, especially when generational.
New polling from Gallup out today:
9.3% of Americans identify as LGBTQ, up from 7.6% last year and 3.7% a decade ago.
23% of Gen Z Americans say they are LGBTQ. 14% of millennials identify as LGBTQ.
56% of LGBTQ Americans are bisexual, 21% gay, 15% lesbian and 14% trans.

MAGA presidents would rather shut down the government they campaigned so hard to run than go to therapy.

2024 was rough all around, but really good for reading for me. I finally figured out how to fit reading into my routines again post-baby, and I read books that I really loved. Highlights include the Nursery, Demon Copperhead, Debt, All Fours, Pachinko, and the Fraud.

Not thrilled to be on a plane taking students to study abroad in Panama the same day that Trump promises to use military force to take the Panama Canal.

Have any pregnant people figured out how to reliably convince themselves to cook a vegetable? I can eat them if made for me, I can look at them and think "wow that would be yummy", but then I just let them rot away in the fridge.
