Sally Ride’s 1977 letter to NASA fits in a single post:
"To whom it may concern,
I am a PhD candidate in astrophysics at Stanford University, and am interested in the space shuttle program. Please send me the forms necessary to apply as a 'mission specialist' candidate.
Thank you,
Sally Ride”

This ad is actually viscerally repulsive
Seeing this horrific Apple ad, I can't help thinking how we're destroying the humanities and arts at universities in order to force everyone into vocational majors like "marketing" where they'll learn to produce soulless crap like this.
The replies are 100% negative.

Discovering the joy of secondhand recently ✨ Got this scratchy Icelandic wool sweater for $15 + 30min stretching it (wet blocking); the plum cashmere sweater for $14 + 40min darning two small holes; the skirt I’m struggling to like but was $30 and will probably alter once my measurements settle down

Biking in moderate rain with traffic around kinda sucks, drivers are angrier for some reason and when my glasses slip down I can’t adjust them as easily because I’m wearing a Cleverhood cape on top. Any tips??

Dating advice: date a cat person- they are already accustomed to learning your fave snacks and what makes you stop keening unexplainably at odd hours.

Should I get one
I Test-Drove Honda’s Teensy Motocompacto Electric Scooter
It goes 15 miles per hour, has a 12-mile range, and folds up into a suitcase you can carry.
