New shot of the Moon taken only a few hours ago by the Artemis II crew! More of the lunar far side coming into view :-D flic.kr/p/2s676GN

The NASA flickr stream from the moon mission is pretty dope

NASA Artemis II

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Just finished season two of Deadloch and once I got accustomed to the differences from season one I really enjoyed it. The last episode was great. I hope they’ll be more.

Since this morning, we have been experiencing intermittent outages in the us-east region due to an issue with an upstream service provider. We are working with them actively to restore service as soon as possible.

The Bluesky iPhone app has now popped me back up to the top of the scroll three times in ten minutes. Every time I choose to look at a post’s replies, or follow a link, or read an entire thread. Losing my place. Please fix this user-hostile nonsense. @bsky.app

There's a nice #Artemis II mission tracker here: artemis.cdnspace.ca LOTS of data about its current position, crew activities, and whether or not the toilet is currently "Go"

I did, however, loop in some illustrator friends ( @brucierosch.bsky.social and @undividual.bsky.social ) to make stickers and badges because all projects need stickers and badges — thanks for sharing this thread, Alan! bsky.app/profile/gamm...

Here’s my Easter bunny! Happy Easter to those who celebrate! F trump F war!

Thanks, Erin! My book HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS: INSIDE THE SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE OUR WORLD came out in 2023. I still regularly get lovely notes from readers about the way it changed how they see what’s around them. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612711...

“Copy Moon joy” #Artemis

The thing I think many peeps resistant to the idea of open borders fail to remember? The world already basically has open borders. If you have money. Seriously. Those with wealth can generally live wherever they want. Maybe everyone should have that opportunity.

In honor of Easter, I am now playing in my head, Spirit In The Sky

Chickadees are cheeky little warriors no reason

You can get it in quite a few places but this is the publisher's website. It's academic prices (ALAS) so even the ebook is really pricey. If anyone is interested though, I do recommend asking a library to get it in! anthempress.com/books/theolo...

So Paul Giamatti really played his part on Star Trek Starfleet Academy wow

Please remember when you swim in the ocean: 200 meters below you, there is a layer of fish that stretches all around the world. It is so dense, that when it was discovered during WWII it scared the navy so bad they bombed it. This is the ocean's thin inner shell of fish [🧵]

Beauty! Truth! cried Julian Sands in Room With A View

Electing a uneducated thug with zero self-restraint and zero empathy, yay. Yay.

Our world has and has had everything imaginable in its makeup. Haven’t we yet understood? it’s our job to sift for the best of humanity. We’re allowed to choose the best of us. We can choose.

That really have to uncancel Starfleet Academy. Do it.

Never forget that wonder is still possible in this world.

Most of the obvious ones already there, but I do think about this one whenever I see a bee

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am so excited to tell you that for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, human beings have left Earth orbit." -- Dr. Lori Glaze, opening the Flight Day 2 press conference

If you've been curious about what's cooking in next-gen VR, here's a good quick vid on Basis VR. In spite of all the recent news and *gestures widely to everything* I'm actually super optimistic about this one slice of the world - incredible energy, incredible engineering - really good people

Sometimes I feel like John Travolta just turning to and fro it’s the most meaningful or relatable meme as I look at each day and just have no fucking idea at all ask me when it’s all over and I’ll be like what? no idea at all shot of tequila sure yes

They are discussing Our Town on Star Trek Academy and it’s killing me Why the ever fucking fuck are they canceling this?

Anarchism’s principal target is the authoritarian State (capitalist or socialist); its principal moral-practical theme is cooperation (solidarity, mutual aid).

Really cool ink effects in this brain painting with text by Nabokov on memory #sciart artologica.etsy.com/listing/4469...

That day in the White House in February 2025, Janet Mills paid me back for every mile walked, every door knocked, for every blister, and bloodied knuckle in 2 election campaigns, she stood up when no one else would and said "no" to protect someone I care about. When its bad look for helpers.

For no reason other than fun. This is my profile’s banner image & it’s a photo I took from an inventory of a London church copied in the 1480s. The text is in Middle English & reads “olde ymages.” It’s a subject heading for a list of old sculptures kept in the church’s storage. I love it very much.

I endorse this:

There are people who don't remember the AIDS crisis of the 80s... either are too young (or not even born yet), or they've put it out of their mind. But I remember. I don't think most straight people can even grasp the horror I felt during those years. When love & dating could be deadly.

Elections matter so much

"My promise has always been that I will veto any bill that makes WI a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids," he said. "It has been my honor to keep that promise over the course of two terms as governor, and I am proud to deliver on that promise again today."

Deadwood and Deadloch The language 🤯

I’m hearing posts in my head in Australian accents #Deadloch

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

I think this is SUCH an important discussion, and she was so great. Reupping so people know this is out there. I raved to my husband about it all evening— she was fantastic.
