look ma! 👀👀👀 Itttttt's meeeeeeeeeeee!

Huge congrats to @cosmicrami.com on getting his first paper accepted, for publication in @pasajournal.bsky.social Let's goooo pulsar boy! 💫 📡 arxiv.org/abs/2509.18972

The telescopes are my friends. Sardinia Radio Telescope visit today 📡

You guys! You guys! You guys! 🔭 Go and look at arXiv today 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 More to come tomorrow, incl. a @spaceaustralia.com proper article, after my talk here at #Pulsars2025 tomorrow ….. How it started ….

As I said …. Watching his unhinging has been delicious.

There are many conference participants singing and having a brilliant time at some karaoke right now at the #Pulsars2025 conference here in Sardinia. They’re absolutely terrible 😂 But it’s absolutely awesome that they are enjoying it! (I’m stuck in my room finalising my talk and articles)

Honestly — how fucking creepy and gross was that flowchart (third one) in the NYT piece on Errol Musk’s family sexual abuse victims coming forth with the allegations of the assault. The one that detailed his relationship with his stepdaughter over time. I literally almost vomited in my mouth

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

You guys there is a lot of bad shit going on in the world right now hit there is some extremely exciting science across pulsars being spoken about at #Pulsars2025 and I am feeling very enriched to be amongst it! That’s all I can say now but watch this space for new papers coming soon!

The really important thing to remember here is that at some point since the start of this year, they’ve (Trump’s team) have been able to control the narrative over a lot of online conversations. A few days ago it was about Kirk. Now Tylenol. Then something new will pop up in a day or so. Why? 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Simply put: a waste of my taxpayer dollars.

Worth re-sharing this one with the alt-text added in. 🔭 “And that's how it was for the next ten nights. A flare, spurting out from Mars – bright green, drawing a green mist behind it – a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy assured me we were in no danger….”

My dad had the LP of this, we'd listen to it all the time when I was a kid in the car. I spent a lot of time looking at the album art too, this pic especially

Ooooooooooohhhhhlllllaaaaaaa! Dun! Dun! Dunnnnnn! #iykyk

I don’t really watch Kimmel but he should go hard on this, and show absolutely no mercy. Really send you know who into a twist of chaotic and incoherent ramblings that would consume him in real-time. His public unraveling would be delicious.

Lmao

I love the perspective these vids give. We’re on a rock that is spinning, and sometimes, it’s easy to forget that.

Continued vital reporting from @teenvogue.com: www.teenvogue.com/story/men-dr...

“A NC man has been accused of posing as an ICE agent, threatening to deport an immigrant woman, then kidnapping & raping her; police in NeY are searching for a man suspected of posing as an ICE agent, assaulting and trying to rape a woman, before robbing her & fleeing the scene in broad daylight.”

Happy Equinox from the northern hemisphere! In particular from the resort we are at for #Pulsars2025 — where this storm just rolled over and cleared out some of the humidity. Good colour in the clouds!

This one's important. "No one in the White House seems to care very much about the rules that govern killing people, at home or abroad..."

Ohhhhh. This is soon! This will be the first time I am in the northern hemisphere for the equinox!

Back in room for some chill / down time … lots of good talks at #Pulsars2025 today. I’m a bit ambivalent about the 7pm finish time, as I’m kinda really tired. But also, it meant we had a 3-hour lunch break in which I collaborated, ate food, and went for a swim at the beach. So, pros and cons.

Yep. As I keep saying, he is positioning to become the next Rupert Murdoch with control over the space domain. Though, unlike Murdoch who is driven by greed — Musk is driven by much darker evil shit and he has zero critical analysis skills. Add in his wealth: ➡️ the most dangerous person on Earth.

Matthew Bailes is giving a talk on this paper now at #Pulsars2025! This is such an interesting system! Amazing that JWST data is able to allow inference the temperature on the exoplanet to have a hit side of 2300K and 900K on the cold side. Even more cool is the molecular carbon signature! 🤯

Do sub-millisecond pulsars exist? “NO” Is that’s a way to start a talk! #Pulsars2025

Sure it's a pulsar :P

And where about to kick off! Still unsure of the hashtag so sticking with #Pulsar2025 for now. We got these t-shirts and the logo I am told is a pulsar with an ancient knife symbol that is found in the ruins here in Sardinia. It’s also the logo for the 64m Sardinia Radio Telescope.

A little pre-conference beach run and swim — water is so warm here in Sardinia!

After a day of travelling and I mean a full day from 4am - 7pm with three flights (incl. one I was forced to miss!), multiple customs clearings, airport chaos, delays and exhaustion …. I made it to the resort in Sardinia last night. #Pulsar2025 conference starts today! Looking forward to talks!

Yaaassssss! I have watched MIDNIGHT MASS around 4 times from start to end. Really enjoyed it and it’s one of my favs in the Flanagan Universe!

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Well, the gate closed and so I had to buy another flight. 300 euros later …. So annoyed!

Nothing is more infuriating than the EU lax approach to getting your bag off the aircraft. 27 mins until my next flight and nothing is happening on the conveyor belt. We’ve been waiting here for an hour. Not sure I’m gonna make it! 😅 Which means someone is about to get yelled at!

I think Athens airport has to be my new fav definition of chaos. It’s just people screaming at each other in at least three different languages and somehow it just keeps flowing. Airports do really test out humanity, don’t they. They are like ticking timebombs for people to get into punch ups.

Welp. This is gonna be fun to try get on my Rome flight within the hour.

Pushback ✈️ Goodbye, Mykonos 😭😭😭

Just got a little mate update from back home! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

And so begins a very long day of travels! Mykonos ➡️ Athens ➡️ Rome ➡️ Sardinia

Genuinely heartbroken to be leaving Mykonos tomorrow morning. I mean I am looking forward to the conference on pulsars in Sardinia but, seriously, this place …… Pondering if I can start an astronomy job here?!?!?!!!

I met and hung out with an old-timer drag mamma last night (~65 years young and fab!), who was frocked as the evil queen from Snow White and lemme tell you that (a) she was awesome; and (b) she made sure I had a fantastic night at all the bars! Best! (according to my step count we danced a lot!)

Ok, well now you're just showing off. ...we're not mad about it though. This spectacular nightscape of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory in Chile features the striking band of the Milky Way and its companions.🔭 🧪

I'm giving social media a go after a hiatus, so hi! I'm a Kiwi volcanologist working on Ngāuruhoe (Mt Doom) in NZ, the 2021 La Palma/Tajogaite eruption impacts, seafloor geologic hazards, & collaborate w. @geotenerife.bsky.social. More on my work here: janinekrippner.weebly.com Nice to meet you❤️🌋

restaurant here at the hotel has its own dj (!) and he’s actually good at setting the mood for the evening with deep house. It really is so enjoyable! It’s not loud or anything it’s just the right amount of background vibe that you can tap your foot at whilst still enjoying a meal. Current play👇🏽

The sign on the ground really completes this incredible photo.

Friends, I need your help! We need one final push for the ScienceSocks restock! Discounted sock bundles have been added! 😎 Grab some here: sciencesocks.co/prod... Please repost or share this with anyone who needs cool #eclipse, #JWST, #MarsRover or #Lucy socks 🙏 🐡🔭🧪🎨

I was reminded today of the logo for ESA's Planetary Defence Office. I think it wins over the NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office and JAXA Planetary Defense logos.
