I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

When incidents are too painful,

Lower the threshold for "incident". Get practice at gathering people, looking at production, and learning what's going on.
