Texas sky update.

governor abbott took away our rainbow crosswalks but we replaced them with much more visible rainbow sidewalks, and some businesses have followed suit (one added rainbow exterior stairs)

So since we all had more or less the same day let's talk about the stress response cycle! The most basic thing is each stress response stays in your body until you complete the cycle, and you can do that in a variety of ways, but you gotta release them all. Not all at once, but one by one.

I had a piano lesson after work and then delivered a little art gift to neighbor down a few blocks. A reminder to myself that joy is not made to be a crumb.

You can now pre-order my forthcoming biography of Robert Gould Shaw direct from @uncpress.bsky.social and they are now running a 30% off sale. Perfect timing. What a thrill to see it listed in the "Civil War America" series. uncpress.org/978146969717...

Ravi! I don’t know if he came by yesterday, away at work. He was here Sunday. Ravi started in the mealworm bowl and moved to the big bowl with superworms to finish. #birds roadrunner 1 of a few 🧵

This is haunting. More from yesterday's solar eclipse viewed by the Artemis II crew. The Sun's corona is faintly visible emerging from behind the Moon. And, at lower left, Venus.

FYI if you’re talking about the #Artemis II mission and you want to get the spaceflight terminology right, the mission is “crewed,” not “manned.” (NASA made the terminology change official decades ago, so this isn’t new, but a lot of folks just aren’t aware.)

Happy to report that after five months of waiting for the right components at the right price, this old Telco Halloween Ghost can look sideways while holding an illuminated skull again.

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

Look how beautiful we are.

The first image we get after comms come back is us. All of humanity is in this shot. And I’m crying again. 🧪🔭 📸: NASA, annotations by me

Fun trivia: Did you know the N in NASA stands for Nutella? *sound on

The Artemis II mission seems good because it is. People seem excited by it because they are. It looks like a testament to the value of teamwork because it needs many people working together to succeed, and it’s succeeding. One of the best things about this is how straightforward it is. Authentic.

All of the joy around Artemis is reminding me of how actually unifying and easily understandable watching astronauts do cool things in space is

They're just all getting completely Mad Men-wasted at whatever ad agency currently has the Nutella account right now

Erster.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Glad people liked! For context, NASA pics of the Moon from four sides: Top Left: "Nearside" always faces Earth (us) Bottom L: "Farside" always faces *away* Bottom Right: "West" half near, half far, roughly what the Artemis crew will see in sunlight Top R: "East" will be in darkness

Roughly, left of the dark area is part of the far side of the Moon, not seen from Earth. The big round feature is the Orientale impact basin, the Moons youngest. That area was in darkness for all the Apollo flights so the Integrity crew are the first humans to see it with their own eyes

Okay there’s a serious terrible in the world. Listening to the astronauts gush about seeing the moon in 3-D and then the chuckle and “Copy, Moon Joy”. From a woman Mission Controller… So cool. We fought so hard to get into those rooms.

Leaving out key parts of a direct quote from the president is lying.
