We are so, so small. #Artemis

It's like watching sperm whales sleep

The unofficial name of this mission is now Lunapalooza

I kinda love that it's a crew of Gen Xers going back to the moon's neighbourhood for the first time since the year I was born.

Le premier astronaute de l’histoire à parler français à destination de la Lune : le Canadien Jeremy Hansen 🇨🇦

So close.

So cool hearing Hansen speak French earlier. Here's the team doing their work right now:

Took a walk this morning and encountered this kwanzan cherry tree with pink AND white blooms. 🌸 #bloomscrolling

This particular creator/influencer's videos are interesting because some of them walk you through the process she uses (combination photoshop/AI/video editing software). Good for helping to understand the process and spot fakes.

Man, 80s computer books made even non-relational databases look fun. (Source.)

For the people who missed it

On the NASA #Artemis II livestream just now: "... and the song you heard was Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan to kick off the crew's day" 🩷🐴🌈

I *really* like this one. Photos — real photos — of the Earth are powerful because we know we’re sharing the view of another human being. www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2... 🚀🌏 #earth #NASA #artemisii

Editing while listening to the occasional mutterings of Mission Control coming over the livestream makes for a genuinely enjoyable afternoon, actually.

I've had the livestream on since a couple hours before launch. 🚀

I saw my first dragonfly of 2026 this afternoon!

I'm overwhelmed by the folks who have reached out with wellwishes–they mean so much to me and are deeply, deeply appreciated ♥️

Ok, I just listened to the audio sample of my book for the first time and WOWOWOWOWOWOW Joniece Abbott-Pratt gives life to the words in ways that I could not even imagine Even if you're not gonna read the book, just go here and listen to the sample because her narration is INCREDIBLE

Goose is out of the bag as they say. Catch us at Toronto Tech Week at the end of May. Details to follow!

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Friday on My Mind: The hottest ticket this weekend is Quebec buzz band Angine de Poitrine montrealgazette.com/news/friday-...

Some models I worked on during my time in grad school. While the thread of understanding the mechanics of complex sensemaking remained the same, my lens shifted from the internalized cognitive model of my master's to an ecological feedback model that I based the second doctoral thesis on.

Some infographic resources I made for teaching research methods: the research workflow and finding and evaluating online information sources. I'll be updating these soon but they're free for you to use if you need them.

A Winnipeg woman was forced to rely on her 91-year-old mother to pay her rent after scammers claiming to be from a bank left her penniless.

About to get thrown out of here for obvious reasons

COVER REVEAL! I went down so many deliriously art-drenched rabbit holes while researching this book, and like any good rabbit hole, it will not offer certainty or even clarity. That's not what you go down one for. (At least that's not why I go down rabbit holes! I go to get lost!) amzn.to/4sgjy3p

Just wrapped two sprints bringing us closer to the experience we've envisioned. Are there kinks? Yep. But the update finally includes our manipulation-free FYP and expanded feed explorer. We also did something a little nutty. Deep breath. We removed Like Counts. gandersocial.ca/blog/oh-we-d...

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you.

A little news. (see alt)

Wake up song just played for Artemis crew. They will prepare for the next burn in about an hour.

moon's haunted

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Woke up to the sound of Mission Control Center updates. The crew have a few minutes left of their sleep cycle. IDK who needs to hear this but it's ok to be excited about the moon: being near it even if not on it is an unfathomable accomplishment. Good morning, Artemis crew ♥️

Yeah that’s cool

Yaaaaaaay! "It was an amazing ride uphill. We've had two moonrises and have circled the Earth completely. We forgot how beautiful it is to look down on."

I'm torn between finding this extremely cool while also wondering why they can't get the space toilet going lol

Let's learn about some medical research that just left Earth on Artemis II, bound for the silver sphere in the sky. It's AVATAR, but it doesn't involve blue aliens. It stands for "A Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response" & it looks like this USB drive-sized device.

This. But also I cried at the idea that these folks are willing to die to give humanity a glimpse of the previously unknowable. Exploration has always been founded in imperialism. It doesn't have to be this way. I'm glad to be alive to see us go back, I never thought I would see it at all.
