I did a thing today! It's a painting I did for my Father & became the logo for my nonprofit that honors all Viking Team members & @mango_tattss had the skills to execute. Now I carry him with me. Thank you Artemis Ink in Boulder, CO and Mango! #tattoomemories #Viking #Mom #Dad

On July 4th I cannot in good conscience celebrate... ...You see we are a fledgling nation, born of ideas and ideals that have never been perfectly practiced because in fact we were formed imperfectly on the backs of families who were here before us... www.patreon.com/posts/on-thi...

Over the years I've been asked why don't I donate my Viking spacecraft to the Smithsonian? Why do I keep "old papers" that can "just be digitized". I have 2000 sq feet of Viking Archives that can't be censored or manipulated. If you want to help DM me www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

SCOOP: The new DOGE official seeking private taxpayer information at the IRS has ties to a sanctioned Russian oligarch considered part of Putin's inner circle. Sam Corcos is married to a woman who partnered w/ a VC firm handling Suleyman Kerimov's money. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

100% I've never seen such a display of school yard bullying out of a "leader" (and sidekicks). Literally trying to force him to say words "tell America thank you" "you cant win this without us"... Also classic abuser behavior - shame then create false dependency on fake heroism. Horrifying!

These interviews are great! Such unique stories and interesting people! Sometimes we focus on the fight so much we don't look deeply enough at the people themselves and here we get the human AND the struggle! Both are important to make the change we need to see! Thanks @multiracialverse.bsky.social

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.

When spellcheck fails to acknowledge our inevitable fate... 🦀 🦀 🦀

Call your reps. It's one act that we can all take no matter where we are. Especially GOP reps. They need to feel the pressure and know they won't be reelected if they don't do something. I call mine almost every day. They need to feel the pain as bad as we are, if not worse.

90% of the global economy is transported on a ship, the whole world uses NOAA data, but definitely US shipping does. This is another crippling move by the fascist idiots in charge.

As a US Merchant Marine Officer, I am fucked without safe, reliable NOAA data. The safety of millions of passengers a year and the hundreds of millions of dollars value of the ship, are not safe without reliable NOAA data.

How cool would it be to get WaPo into new hands!

Those in poverty and/or marginalized communities experience far fewer opportunities. This means the... "...child could discover clean energy a cure for Alzeiheimers or maybe be the best friend for someone in need" may never reach their potential. drive.google.com/file/d/1bGTx...

Above all else, being a Mom gives me joy!!! I spent my child's youth writing silly and thoughtful #songs, #stories, #poems... to help us both navigate through #parenting. Here's one! Now as I go through boxes to save & purge, I reflect... and the moments come back.

Perspective. Life under a #Dictator. Call, write letters, support those who have lost their work. #BOYCOTT. And prepare. Be frugal. Know where your family is. All.the.time. #PeacefulProtest (peacefully). Don't give up!

Click and zoom... I wrote this #poem yesterday. #resist #unite

Because sometimes we just need a #laugh

More than a little BIT of love to share! #GeeksRule

Here's a few more techniques! A little color example between color pencil and watercolor pencil #frog #alligator #canine #skull

More of my #SciArt from 1980s! This shows the same dissection segment using 3 student techniques. Which do you think would be best in a textbook!? #TechnicalIllustration #BiologyArt #AlligatorScience #NaturalScience

Thought I'd mix it up, posting a few pieces from my college thesis from 1988! Dissecting and illustrating an Alligator - plus showing media techniques. #Art #NaturalScience #LifeIsBeautiful #Illustration #JaneGoodall

Saving #NASA History! (This is just the images, but I'm grabbing the contextual as well.) Reconstruction will take time but in honor of black history month, here are some moments captured! #BlackHistory

Saving NASA History before it's lost! #NASA #SpaceHistory #DEI #Indigenous #History #NativeAmerican

Save #NASA History before it's removed! I have been saving content from the NASA site the last 2 weeks. Things I saved are already gone! Join me and save DEI content representing BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and women. The removals seem to be arbitrary so save everything, in case! #savehistory #space #DEI

Some Congressfolks ARE Speaking out. Please lens them support as well as encouraging others to join in. They won't join in if they don't think constituents are behind them. neguse.house.gov

@padilla.senate.gov what are you doing to stop the madness!? Block Ts moves! Vote against his insanity!

Embrace ALL of you! Dont be ashamed or embarrassed on your journey to navigate this complex world of human systems. Everyone has moments of doubt, insecurity, and moments when they feel alone. But being true to yourself can be the one constant in this dynamic crazy experience called life. #BeYou

@altnps.bsky.socialS anyone know more about the 50 states 50 Capitol 50 marches... Are there places in each state to start the march so people know where to go?

Wonderful to support #WordIsBond at their first event of the year w my dear friend IG: grandmaluswellness ! These young men are doing great things led by Lakayana Drury, and inspirational leader.

Not even two weeks into his second term and Donald Trump is predictably causing mass chaos. The good news is Democrats are newly fired up to resist the radical regime of Trump 2.0. The spirit of resistance is alive and well for this Week in Wins. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/week-progressiv…

This is antithetical to Preservation of copyright. Please share this and push back! #NoAIcooptingArt #OptInOnly

#SciArt comes in all different forms! Here are posters I created for my nonprofit that integrate real mission archives into an educational piece! We sell these to raise $ for #VMMEPP The Viking Mars Missions Education and Preservation Project nonprofit! artsandculture.google.com/story/PAWhJs...

If you're an audio drama fan and have some free time this weekend, come check the Podcast Book Club's inaugural Audio Fiction Convention. This free and virtual convention was created to celebrate all things audio fiction. Plus, I'm going to be speaking on the music, horror, and sound design panels!

A fun piece I made for one of my Viking friends! Showing things like launch through entry descent and landing is fun! The color layering in ceramics is fraught so it's fun to show the process too! I lead space Art Workshops and funds go to nonprofit #VMMEPP #sciart #spaceart #VikingMarsMission

I just have to say I hope Pete runs next term!!!! #Buttigieg
