On #GISDay, we honor Dr. Gladys West, the genius mathematician whose 1970s–80s geodetic modeling of the Earth laid the foundation for GPS. Her work on SEASAT & GEOSAT gave us the precise geoid that makes every #geospatial app reliable today. #wow 😮 #WomenInSTEM

I was the only woman in the calculus series I took at the community college my senior yr in high school. The prof made horrible sexist jokes every class. Gross inexcusable jokes. My all-male classmates said absolutely nothing. The college did absolutely nothing.
Thank god he retired.

I don’t know why people are expressing surprise that no male journalist came to the aid of the female journalist.
In my experience men simply do not come to the aid of women in situations like this. They just don’t.

This is me. I don't believe in them, but some places are HAUNTED. The woods I tried camping in west Pennsylvania. I've never felt more unsettled in a place.

I have SO MUCH to do right now, and it has me frozen, unable to even make a proper to-do list to tackle any of it.
I know this will pass, but man it's frustrating.
I should go for a walk. Maybe that'd help.

We wake to mornings of cold magic. Exhale dragon-breath, crunch frost-frozen leaves as we walk. The year is dying. We feel it as rush of ghosts, a shivering that foretells the blade of ice upon its neck. No wonder this is the season where folklore burns bright. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Folklore
