I’m a scientist working on dark matter and neutron stars and I wouldn’t be who I am today without Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Haile Germima, Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, A.A. Milne, Errol Morris, Star Trek, Herman Melville, Lorna Simpson, Edward Lear, Tina Turner, and so many others.
Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

So the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which famously and adorably held a penguin March for Science in 2017, has a bunch of soothing aquarium livestreams.

I learned this from the @wereherenews.bsky.social newsletter, which shares lovely things like that, just because.

Seat belts, everyone 💚

If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you.

Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs…

Gladys Mae West (1930-now), a Black mathematician, made pivotal contributions to GPS technology through her precise satellite geodesy calculations. Her once-overlooked work is now foundational to GPS. She was inducted into the AF Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2018. #BlackHistory

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚
