Hello new followers! I'm a planetary scientist that specializes in what happens when planets collide, but I'm also a community radio DJ, trained historian, and professional dancer/choreographer. So naturally most of what I'm posting will be shitposts.

Ran a fun space trivia night at Grand Canyon again tonight and had a blast! It's so nice to be able to bring joy to people by helping them learn about the universe in fun ways.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Please share. We're a week behind sending out funds to the families of this giving circle—six families plus a displacement camp. Every day waiting is a delay these malnourished families—mostly kids—three women with medical emergencies—getting survival needs.

Every share matters, offline for health 🙏🏾 more than ever support for survival funds evaporates despite the occupation's escalating DEATH-MAKING.
Clicking "weekly" on a coffee means emergency care for three women: a high-risk pregnancy, deteriorating lupus, an urgent dental condition.

It's actually super easy to talk to people about how outer space is political! Especially now, when people's curiosity is accompanied by a growing concern about whether space exploration is causing more harm than good. If you're doing outreach talks, I recommend having these discussions!

Yesterday was the worst day for the giving circle since August 25th.
Click “weekly” on a coffee so that no single day goes without support for six families, mostly kids—three health emergencies, four families homeless—to survive ongoing annihilation.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry
