Today marks 110 years since lawyer and activist Flo Kennedy was born in Kansas City, MO. Though she died in 2000, the slogan she popularized with Gloria Steinem still lives on.

Valerie Thomas spent 30+ years at NASA helping revolutionize how we see images from space & our own world. #WomenInSTEM

Managed the development of the first image-processing systems for the Landsat program allowing satellites to send the 1st multi-spectral pictures of Earth back to scientists.(1/2)
Portrait of Dr. Valerie L. Thomas, the pioneering Black NASA scientist and inventor, smiling warmly at the camera. She has shoulder-length wavy gray hair, wears thin gold-framed glasses, gold hoop earrings, and a light gray herringbone-patterned blazer over a white top with a small pin on the lapel, standing confidently against a neutral gray background.

Also Whitson:

+ First woman commander of the International Space Station & to command it twice
+ Holds the records for the oldest woman spacewalker (2017, age 57) & to orbit the Earth (2025, age 65)
+ Most spacewalks by a woman, 10

#wow #WomenInSTEM
Whitson participates in a spacewalk that lasted more than seven hours on Oct. 10, 2007. During the spacewalk, Whitson and astronaut Daniel Tani replaced a motor at the base of one of the station's solar wings.

Chemist Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1965. Kevlar, a lightweight, heat-resistant fiber 5X stronger than steel, is best known for its use in bulletproof vests & body armor. #WomenInSTEM

It's #NationalInventorsDay!

www.sciencehistory.org/education/sc... #WomenInScienceDay #IDWGS
Fun color photograph of pioneering American chemist Stephanie Kwolek (1923–2014), the inventor of Kevlar, taken in her later years. She is indoors in what appears to be a home or lab setting with soft lighting and kitchen-like background elements. Kwolek, an older woman with short gray hair, wears large round eyeglasses, a light plaid blouse or dress with a white collar, and holds up a bright yellow circular button that reads "ASK ME ABOUT KEVLAR" in bold black lettering. On her hands she wears thick yellow Kevlar protective gloves (the very material she invented), one glove prominently displayed in the foreground as she grips the button. Her expression is gentle, proud, and welcoming, with a slight smile, embodying her lifelong dedication to science, safety, and innovation as she invites conversation about her groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized bullet-resistant vests, tires, helmets, and countless other applications.#StephanieKwolek #Kevlar #WomenInScience #Chemistry #Inventor

Roberta Flack was the first artist in Grammy history to win Record of the Year in consecutive years:

1973: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘚𝘢𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦
1974: 𝘒𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨

Known for her emotive, genre-blending ballads spanning R&B, #jazz, folk, and pop. She was born #OTD in 1937. #BHM
Black-and-white close-up portrait of legendary singer Roberta Flack in the late 1960s or early 1970s. She has a voluminous, full afro hairstyle framing her face, with soft lighting highlighting her thoughtful expression. Her chin rests gently on her left hand, showcasing a prominent ring with a large, light-colored stone on her ring finger. She wears subtle eyeliner, glossy lips, and a slight, knowing smile while gazing to the side, exuding elegance, confidence, and quiet intensity against a plain light gray background.

I agree with your “post”.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber @jay.bsky.team said she preferred to use "post" and NOT "skeet." I just use "post." Some use the terms "skeet" and "skeeting" for post. I don't because the term "skeet" is a pejorative epithet in Newfound & Labrador, & is slang for another not-so-family-friendly term.

If you hear or see something enough times, no matter how repulsive & obviously dangerous & bad for you, you can become conditioned to accept it. Even glamorize it in your mind...
