one of my fav coworkers who has been on a leave is coming back tomorrow...just to give their 2 weeks notice for a new better job. And I'm very happy for them, but also super bummed.

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

all of the artemis II crew are public school kids. isn't it incredible what you can do with a well-funded, free education system that offers equitable opportunities to all kids, regardless of their socioeconomic background?

This lil pigeon is finally available on a shirt! However there was a manufacturing error which causes this visible seam on the neck of the pigeon. SOO we are offering this batch of shirts at 20% off while we wait for our replacements! Available here: birdietam.art

Ever seen the carpet bombing map of Vietnam?

Disco Elysium rocked face for many reasons but one was because it wasn't afraid to actually say things with meaning

The FDIC accepted this change yesterday. Its examiners can no longer advise a bank drop someone based on "reputational risk". It doesn't mean the bank can't do it, but banks and paypros have a very public history of blaming entities higher up the chain for their decisions. It's a positive move

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

we need to seriously plan around the nightmare scenario of 2020 repeating where the Dems win by accident just on account of shit being so bad, and it reinforcing their bullshit "trans people cost us in '24 and we won in '26 because of our brilliant eggs-based strategy" will be their takeaway

you consider the few things that have pushed these guys into action, and the many things that haven't, and increasingly coming to the conclusion that no matter what the issue you care about is, you need to jam up airports

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

who in their right mind would come to the US right now lmfao??????

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

senator, on a beach with drink in hand: this madness must stop

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Democrats needs to be heading to DC tonight and gather in Congress to move for impeachment even if Congress led by Republican bootlickers is “on recess.” Schumer/Jeffries should be issuing calls for Dems to get back in DC now while have their leadership staffers prep impeachment resolutions now.

respectfully what does it take for a democrat or a republican to fucking do something of use rofl or are you all happy being well-fed cattle

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

OK Senator but are you currently in DC or on your way back? Have Schumer or Jeffries called their conferences back to town immediately?

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.” Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I and Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

genuinely no words for how much i hate these ppl & their obsessive desire to live in a fictionalized reality as though using one's imagination is simultaneously too much & not enough. & literally everyone around them pays the price for their cult delusions

Something tells me you guys like birds 👀

We really can't just go back to normal after this. I'm sorry but this last year (Jesus christ) has shown just how much of a sham our system of government is and how our perceived democracy can be completely subverted by one guy. It will always be lingering just in the back of my mind.

It would only have taken a handful of Republicans in Congress to have stopped this train wreck long ago. Not one stood up. Not one.

how's that working out again

Do you want to live forever?

one of the really embarrassing things about existing in the 21st century is just how fucking powerful you become if youre consistently able and willing to send an e-mail to pursue your personal interests

mutual: ugh the discourse is so bad today me (only seen tweets about gay little gnomes): yeah it's pretty rough out there

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

trying to figure out the latest bluesky discourse by going backwards through vague posts feels like this
