I have eight hundred things to do, so naturally it’s time for a 20-minute nap that accidentally turns into a 3-hour nap.

This dim and distant world is the farthest planet from the Sun, about 30 times farther away than planet Earth.

Details of the complex ring system are seen here for the first time since Neptune was visited by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in August 1989.

I had a moment today. Finally, crushed under the constant paranervous response of news cycles colliding with my good therapeutic habits to stay healthy. I turned off my phone and took a long nap. I feel a bit more human now.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

I was skeptical at first, but Bluesky really is a fantastic platform for scientists who want to engage in broader public conversations.

Thank you @bsky.app and @jay.bsky.team for this amazing resource!

This image shows the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 & NGC 4039), 60 million light-years away in Corvus. These galaxies are in the process of merging, creating tidal tails and bursts of star formation from their gravitational interaction.

That feeling when the book you’re reading is extremely relatable 🥰

That feeling when the book you’re reading is so relatable it reminds you of the parts of yourself you don’t like 😵‍💫

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.

I read a book today—one I bought over 5 years ago.

Books don’t have deadlines—they wait for you, patiently, until the moment is right.
