The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath

Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision…

Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter.

If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

RFK Jr. is speaking to a specific slice of parents (mostly) who believe their autistic child is not like the autistic people who, for example, post on this app. Those parents are committed to a diagnosis of "profound" autism. They are wrong. Please read this from me and @juststimming.bsky.social
Dividing Up the Autism Spectrum Will Not End the Way You Think
The Lancet’s proposal to create a new label of “profound autism” serves only to distract us from the work of ensuring that all autistic people have everything they need to thrive.

It drives me crazy. To dare to talk about protecting the Earth when all you're doing is a PR stunt that pollutes the equivalent of a decade of a Westerner's life who already pollute a lot.

I love space exploration, but space tourism for selfish rich people is a cancer.

I hope everyone remains safe and also that people know that a corporate spaceflight of only women astronauts for a company owned by a deeply destructive billionaire who is enabling fascism is just public relations for fascism and has absolutely nothing to do with feminism

There's a lot of talk about inspiring future STEM workers, including girls, at Jared Isaacman's hearing today to be the next NASA administrator. That will be harder to accomplish since NASA has recently demolished many initiatives to bring underrepresented groups into science.

The results tell us a lot!

Just finished reading an ARC of "These Heathens" by @miamckenzie.bsky.social - a longer review on GoodReads is to come, but can I just say: what a hilarious, bittersweet, fascinating look at the intersection of the civil rights movement and Black queer history. Doris is now one of my fav protags.

Bad news: you read Bloodmarked by @tracydeonn.bsky.social when you had COVID and can't remember any of it.

Good news: Now you have an excuse to reread the series from the beginning in order to enjoy Oathbound! (Fajita is very excited.)
