Hello fellow Bluesky travellers! I wanted my first post to be from our recent night of Aurora magic which bathed us in so many hues.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here
outside your door
I hate to wake you up
to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
Taxi's waiting
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could cry
Leaving On a Jet Plane

The entire right-wing is going to absolutely lost their minds over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
But just remember how NONE of them gave a DAMN about Melissa Hortman, a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota, being assassinated just a couple of months ago. Trump basically IGNORED it!

So, if you're worried you won't win the midterm elections, do the un-democratic thing and cheat. Gerrymander. The PRESIDENT is asking people to DO THIS! What country am I living in? Not a democratic America. WTF? www.npr.org/2025/08/29/n...
At Trump's urging, Missouri jumps into redistricting race to help Republicans
Gov. Mike Kehoe called a special session starting Wednesday to help the GOP hold onto Congress. It's part of the battle to reshape the voting map and help Trump keep a majority for his agenda.

Thanks to Trump's attack on the Smithsonian I've been thinking about what it means to be "woke"
I think it means believing in -
Science
Facts
Public health
Equal rights for everyone
Multiculturalism
Good public education
Universal healthcare
Treating people with respect
I'm proud to be "woke"
