Yes, that's me in the first picture. You probably wonder how I got here. Well, I went to class...

If I don't use humor well.... There was a gunman at my school today

Also, for those that know me, yes, that is my dad there too, because of course, he came running when he heard, the big dummy

Many years ago, I got attacked strongly for trying to warn people not to push against everyone they disagreed with. Only attack if they attack first, and make sure they really wanted to hurt people

What is going on now, is what I was trying to stop

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth

Feb 1.

You know the drill by now.

We always kick things off with the Statue of Liberty. Americans look at it every day, and don't even know what its creator and funders intended it to stand for.

You can't learn US history from US textbooks, so you get my typos instead.🤷🏿‍♂️

Has anyone else been having crazy issues with NSF ETAP? It has barely been loading for literally days, and now it's saying I have no submitted applications and none in progress.

This is definetely a bit alarming with the whole fear of what will happen to REUs due to *cough cough* 🍊👀

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov

And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

They need to hear from you.

If someone who voted for him is now suffering as a direct result, don’t gloat.

Invite them to organize with you.

The cruelty may have been his point, but it should never be yours.

Halt *US* science.

We can't stop the world from doing science. We can only stop ourselves from doing science.

We're making a conscious choice to make China the world's leading research nation.

Congratulations to China on their ascendancy I guess.

For those who don’t know, Jonathan is *the* person who keeps track of stuff in space, a key part of the information ecosystem for anyone who studies or writes about satellites. He now needs some help to keep doing this. (1/2)
Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds.

Everyone was focused on the wrong side of Elon's family tree

Have you all looked up his maternal grandfather, Joshua Norman Haldeman?

That will explain the salute, and why all of a sudden Trump wants Greenland and Canada

Jonathan is the best person I know

Please help him out

Has anyone else noticed that (it appears) the TikTok algorithm changed during the "blackout"?

I am getting local stuff (the last video I got from my town was 2 years ago) and I am getting dance influencers. I never got that before at all

It is very odd, the FYP feels different

Anyone else?
January 20, 2025 at 4:20 AM
So this happened today.

I might actually ask for help here soon because the er was $130, and now my mom has to have surgery

What happened is someone's dog ran from them, and my mom decided to help to try to catch it. Cue the owner not running after it, it running into four lane oncoming traffic...
January 20, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Well TikTok will be dead for sure if this happens

You know whichever purchase "we" choose means: conservatively controlled

Rumor is Musk is the one they want to own it

I wish we were ready to discuss why so many people voted against the Democrats. If not, this will be our reality for a long time

I hate how so many people are using Red Note specifically in the science and the maker community

It has been over a year since Naomi Wu disappeared and we all know that wasn't a choice...

We're reaching the end of #aas245 which honestly feels crazy because it feels like it was so long and so short at the same time

I was able to meet amazing people, hear very informative talks, and have a lot of fun

If I haven't been able to meet you yet, please come find me at the closing reception

I am so lucky that all those years ago, Jonathan stopped to talk to me on the CfA steps, and quickly became one of my mentors and close friends

Honestly, all of astronomy is lucky because he has helped so many people

He is a big part of why I am at #aas245 and even still in astrophysics

Folks, if you still have energy and want to direct it somewhere, my incredible officemate, @marcyharbut.bsky.social, lost her house in the #LAFires. Her brother set up a gofundme to help them start over. She's THE BEST - so please help if you can.

Come visit me today at my #aas245 iPoster from 5:30 to 6:30 at terminal 38 to learn about the research I did this summer at the Harvard & Smithsonian CfA!

Plus, I have free space and astronaut stickers 😉

I got another rhinestone jacket for today based on my research

Last night, I went out with some friends from the Harvard Astro REU to the Cadillac Ranch after a busy day at #aas245

Their food is really good; and we almost went onto the mechanical bull, but dress pants and bull riding don't mix well lol
