JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

My wife started running at 6:30 am and is now at 50 miles total ran! So proud of the hard work they put in. From a 5K to a 50 miler is great!

Also using today as a go with the flow day and it’s so nice! Using it to livestream this race and play the updates in Hades 2.

Looks like I’m now into ultra marathons? Carla Molinaro making great time into #jackassjunction!

Wife just started the 100 mile race at #javalinajundred! So excited to see their progress 😍

1 in 3 US community-service nonprofits lost government funding in early 2025. These organizations run food pantries, deliver job training and offer mental health services. They provide independent living assistance, disaster relief and emergency shelter, among other services.

This is really cool!!

As a German I would like the US people to keep this demolition as a warning sign when this administration is done, just like the Germans did with the Gedächtniskirche in Berlin.

📍 Before Google Maps… there was her. Gladys West, a Black mathematician, wrote the code that made GPS possible—while working in a segregated Navy office in the 1950s. 🌍 Every time you “find your location,” thank her. #NationalCodingWeek #BIPOCinSTEM #HiddenFigures

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1906 nace Alice Stewart. Doctora que en los años 50 comienza a estudiar el aumento en los casos de cáncer dentro de la población infantil. Fue capaz de demostrar que a sus madres les habían hecho radiografías durante el embarazo. Tardaron 25 años en hacerle caso. #WomenInSTEM

#TalDíaComoHoy en 1969, la microbióloga Sagrario Mochales publica en Science junto a varios colegas el artículo que presentaba al mundo la fosfomicina, el 1º antibiótico de origen español. La intentaron despedir de su empresa cuando fue madre, pero acabó dirigiendo su laboratorio 💪. #WomenInSTEM

We’ve been talking a lot about theories in my MS in #science-education and this is such an interesting read for any parents and educators out there!

Viruses number in the trillions yet remain relatively obscure. But what we’re learning about one group of viruses that target bacteria, called bacteriophages, may shape the future of medicine. This week, it’s “Not Just a Phage” on @bipisci.bsky.social 🧪 Listen here: buff.ly/hsmEy4S

Hi! If you are in education (especially science education) what research/writing was formative for you as an educator? I’m in my sixth week of classes and I am learning so much- I want to hear what works helped shape others. 💚

Fungi flourish through mycorrhizal networks, reminding us of the beauty of connection. Here's to nurturing strong bonds for our collective strength, just like these beautiful mushrooms and their tiny leaf companion 💚🌿 #fungifriends #fungifriday

So thankful for such a talented wife. Also thankful for abundance in my garden!

So proud of my favorite human. 🥰🥰🥰

I made the most delicious vegetarian meatloaf. I just needed the internet to know this

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Had to go back to the Bayshore trail today, it was so beautiful! Many finches, snow egrets, crows, gulls, wrens and more! #photography #birds #spring #nature

We decided to hike a new trail today (Palo Alto Baylands Trail) and bring the camera along. I got to identify 25 species of birds and plants! My lovely wife is helping me learn how to use a digital camera/edit photos. Here are a few I was able to capture on a zoom lens. #hummingbird #hawk #nature

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

This has arrived safely at its forever home so I can FINALLY post the blanket I made for my librarian bestie @apm239.bsky.social new baby 😊. I was going for Claes Oldenburg vibes. Due to overwhelming response I will be writing a pattern, available from KnitsuneOfficial on Ravelry

Can’t believe it’s been 8 years of marriage- so thankful for my human; every time I say “How did I get so lucky” their response is “The Internet”. Risky it was- but what a beautiful gift it has been. 💚💚💚
