Ann Arbor/Ypsi: Nextdoor just lit up with ICE activity at WCC not a half hour ago. Neighbors are rightly incensed; someone's daughter was there when it happened. If you're in SE Michigan and mobilized, please @ me so that I may amplify your posts. How can we best help? Mutual aid? Virtual options?

Little girls Remas & Toleen weren't getting consistent support, so we stepped in to try to get them something reliable every week. Join in to support these kids with shelter, winter supplies, and other necessities. Give/find their link here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

I may have become too powerful

Idk what it is about sesame street but my baby cousin is CACKLING!!!! The cookie monster got him cracking up. 😭😭

We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

I just asked my advisor a paw patrol related question. 😭😭😭 Cause I need to know if I'm not the only one that feels like that with Chickaletta. She always in some mess.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Voters overwhelmingly voted to repeal a zoning amendment that would have allowed larger homes to be built in the last Gullah-Geechee community on Georgia’s coast Black homeowners feared it would have pushed out the Black generational property owners

Congratulations to Dra. Aylin Garcia Soto on becoming the first Black woman and Afro-Latina to earn a PhD in astronomy from Dartmouth!

I think everyone could benefit from a little aurora break

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Palestinians will approach a stranger and call her sister just in CASE she’s worthy of it. Blows my fucking mind to see how some of us are willing to treat them and their ideas and experiences anyway 😠

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

It's giving Peter Gunn, Tara, and Amina -- LHHNY. My God.

Planetary friends! Don't want to go to Houston in March, or support an institute that's bending the knee? Then join us for the very first Planetary Science Community Workshop in Louisville, KY on April 14–16, 2026. It's our community. Fight for it! Details at the link: planetaryworkshop.org

any recommendations for recent review articles on space weathering?

Earlier this year, the science community was invited to nominate scientists whose basic research transformed science. The next prize, which awards $1 million in three fields will be announced on June 10, 2026. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4q1s1Xh #2025YearInReview #TheKavliPrize

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Why did I stumble upon Frederick laying here looking like he’s summoning an Eldritch horror?

@gcugno.bsky.social and I had a wonderful discussion with @goastromo.bsky.social for @setiinstitute.bsky.social LIVE about our work on the circumplanetary disk around CT Cha b!

Not only is shutting the fuck up free, it's also easy to do! And yet,

Singer Alexander O'Neal and his wife Cynthia were rushed to the hospital after an apartment fire

I was thinking how funny it is we call the genre ‘Dark Academia’ because it’s hallmarks are obsessive pursuits of knowledge, secrets, abusive people in a position of power… when that is just academia!

Ok but it shoulda been 18 because Delroy Lindo definitely deserves Best Supporting www.essence.com/entertainmen...

It’s a collective shame that two years into genocide we spend today celebrating an ONGOING genocide. Go to native-land[.]ca, learn whose land you’re on, & pay them reparations. Find a survival fund for a family in Gaza, & pay them reparations. 15 HOURS LEFT to stop this family’s eviction. 419/700

Hi folks! If you're buying up a lot of stuff that's on sale today, consider matching your spending in donations to fundraisers! Folks in Gaza still need our help, and we can do our best to support them: chuffed.org/project/hope...

it is important to me that a candidate is passionate about advancing equity, community building, and whose work demonstrates inclusive scientific practices in computational astrophysics. if this sounds like you, please consider joining us here @stewardobservatory.bsky.social!

i’m excited to announce that i am hiring (again)! i am looking for a postdoc in computational astrophysics that’s excited about models of stellar transients and multi-messenger astronomy to join my group (star stuff @ steward) at @uarizona.bsky.social! apply here ✨💥: aas.org/jobregister/...

He's with the ancestors now: (h. rap brown) www.complex.com/life/a/marke...

and closing out the session, my STELLAR grad student, logan white @ @stewardobservatory.bsky.social, sharing how phifty one ergs blow up a star! 💥

isabelle jones, grad student @ @ucscscience.bsky.social, sharing recent results on variable accretion in low mass stars.

some excellent talks to finish off day 2 of the ASTRO sessions here at the NSBP/NSHP 2025 Joint Conference! #nsbp #nshp

I would love to hear @that-astro-chic.bsky.social break this down. Like... how?!

Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory plans to cut nearly all its research funding and reduce the number of paid science staff to just two positions next year.

I've said it before: a lot of us say “it’s the least I can do,” but it's STILL exactly what we’re asked to do—give directly to Palestinians to survive, or shareto reach those who can give. Then act. One link, SIX families, food, medicine, more. chuffed.org/project/hope...

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

In Chicago, 26 city council members oppose Mayor Johnson’s proposal to tax 3% of the wealthiest corporations. What could possibly be influencing them…? thetriibe.com/2025/11/eman...

From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

23 hours left, please share for Link ⚠️ We’re finishing the week’s goal with one final, big push. We didn't make it last week and we didn't make it this week so six families simply won't be able to afford: - Food - still famine - Shelter - still homeless - Newborn supplies + C-section ok? 50/2901
