There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

🧵 Thread about how the NSF GRFP eligibility policy change is bad for science, but especially bad for bridge program students:

My first 1st author paper is published! Explainer thread from when it originally went live on arXiv quoted! 🔭🧪 Evolution of LISA Observables for Binary Black Holes Lensed by a Supermassive Black Hole doi.org/10.3847/1538... via @ioppublishing.bsky.social

Just so we are clear. There is nothing wrong with being trans or autistic. Don't give an inch on that

Take away the only thing they care about.

I love having a job where nearly every day I look at thousands of images we took of outer space, with their stars and galaxies and all, but the contrast with the situation down here has me like…

Choose your fighter.

I feel so seen: @jakepost.tech got me this sticker which now lives on my laptop! 😂🤣😂

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

Just finished teaching my first in-person class after two semester of being online. We’ll see how the rest of the semester goes, but the first day was awesome! Students were super engaged (for an 8am lab) and polite, we had great discussions, and only one student took my whole pad of sticky notes 😂

Find the friends you can talk to, I promise we’re here 🫂

Talk to a chatbot if you find yourself in mental crisis. No wait, call 911 & have the cops shoot you. No wait, call 988 & have a social worker lock you in the psych ward. The options are shit & if the culture didn’t hate the mad they wouldn’t be.

So, what can we say about the latest GWTC 4 catalogue? In some ways, it's not too surprising, it's a 'firming up' of the clues we were getting from GWTC 3. But there's a couple of neat things: So, AGN channel perspective follows 1/n

Ok so my comment on GWTC4 & associated rates & pops paper (2508.18083) is: if you model redshift evolution purely as a power law, you can only get a single value slope. If you model it with a spline (as they do in Fig 10 below), it rises pretty steeply to z~1, then flattens. 1/

So, @xevra.world leads a great paper out today on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2508.13412 on how the recent event GW231123 detected by @ligo.org @egovirgo.bsky.social could've happened in an AGN. With @saavikford.bsky.social @spacekaila.bsky.social @astrowithemily.bsky.social @jakepost.tech & McFACTS crew!

After getting my first tattoo I can confidently say extensive allergy tests are way worse and you don’t get a fun sticker to take home just hives

And here we go, spotted in the wild: a Bluesky user (member of the public) who read this piece and thinks ChatGPT developed new antibiotics - it *absolutely* did not. Overusing the term "AI" is bad science communication. 🧪

Do you think he wanted Greenland because it *looks* big on a map?

Good Charlotte just released a new album!? If thats not a recession indicator, I don’t know what is

Instagram automatically turning on location tracking AND it being viewable by followers is one of the dumbest features I’ve ever seen added to an app. Like whoever thought “let’s add a doxing feature” to the app where people already get doxed for what they support is fucking insane.

Hey everyone! Please congratulate @jakepost.tech on passing his oral qualifier with flying colors!! He is now a level II PhD student @cuny.edu Grad Center in the Physics PhD program!! Also, did you know you* can write a whole science talk using a game rendering engine?!? *you=Jake—I cannot do this

I think its about time we get a new, over engineered, email protocol

A couple weeks old, but this showed up in my feed and I just had one of those covid-thanos snap moments 😶 Short wholesome ramblings 🧵 1/9

$849.8 Billion and they couldn’t afford a little WD-40?

So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other

The NYC march ended at Madison Square Park, and ended with an art show

NYC showing up to do what we do best — shouting at people in the streets! #nokings #nokingsday

Resounding “Don’t rank Cuomo” chant at No Kings NYC seems like a promising sign for Not-Cuomo

Hey! I know that plenary speaker @saavikford.bsky.social They're my advisor :^)

got my ms degree in astrophysics. this is a dream come true — for Shirin in 2015, who started in physics, for Shirin in 2017, who switched to planetary science due to harassment, for Shirin in 2019, who realized she wanted to do nothing but research forever.

i was thrilled + honored to present preliminary results of my master’s thesis project at the Dynamix conference hosted by @cambridgeastro.bsky.social this week! hope i can get back to Cambridge soon :)

Because I posted this elsewhere here’s me and a bestie @jakepost.tech during @saavikford.bsky.social class this semester — one of the best classes during my masters!!

four years ago I failed calc 2 and was told to reconsider my physics major. today I received an A+ in radiative processes and finish my first year of my masters program with a 4.0🥲😭 excuse me while i cry a little bit

My semester is officially over! All submittables have been submitted, all presentations have been presented. I am so ready to to hibernate and pay off the sleep debt I accrued the past couple of months 🫠

I'll make backyard-tub-hooch fluoride mouthwash, prohibition style, if I have to.

My McFACTS colleagues got me get-well-soon flowers!!! 🥹 @spacekaila.bsky.social @jakepost.tech @emilymcpike.bsky.social @xevra.world … anyone else on Bsky? Shawn? Harry? Richard? Rosalba? Austen? Rachel?

hey!! i have a live website now. check it out here: emilymcpike.wordpress.com

They gave up private student records, let ICE on campus, suspended and expelled students, let the police brutalize students, removed members of the faculty, etc. It was not enough. It'll never be enough because the goal is to destroy academic institutions. Columbia did not understand that.

I completely forgot to make the connection that the protesters were from Columbia University Apartheid Divest, the student group for whom Mahmoud Khalil was a leader.
