Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

The only CEO that ever saw heaven was Bob Moore from Bob's Red Mill and that's because he retired and gave the employees the company but he'd been doing profit sharing since 1990.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

This is probably one of my favourite Artemis II images. Tiny Earth setting behind the Moon as taken from the far side. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotogtaphy #ArtemisII

"No," the swordmaster said. "One does not refuse the king," the herald said. "I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war." "You will regret this!" "No," the swordmaster said.

Jealous

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The bill “would prohibit law enforcement agencies from obtaining, retaining, possessing, accessing, requesting, or using a biometric identification system.”

This is what radicalized me as a native of color Seeing them send fire hoses attack dogs and sound cannons on water and land defenders during Standing rock

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

“If you use <insert grammatical pet peeve here> then I know your writing was done by AI.” Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.

Scalzi's Law: "The failure mode of clever is asshole."

You're missing the point. It's not supposed to be good photography, it's supposed to be *enthisiastic.* The joy of creating something good, that nourishes the body and spirit. Celebrating positivity as a group instead of steeping in sociopolitical misery. Joyful noise and all that. Blessed be ✨️

sorry, if you want social media to be less toxic, you are obligated to be all in favor of food posts, which are objectively way less toxic than the vast majority of other topics

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Fairfield, Oklahoma I spent a summer (!) there with Mom & Gran, visiting my Uncle. It was so entirely devoid of anything resembling "fun" that I ended up hanging out at the yarn store, crocheting in silence with the old woman who ran it She didn't suck. Everything else was hell on earth

Lori Fisher works as the lure for an extradimensional angler fish, serving as bait so the monster tied to her can prey on worse monsters. It’s queer YA Science Fiction with a big cast of misfits. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

You can block for any reason at all, up to and including “my cat hissed at their icon.”

I really wish I could see my mom tonight, let her pet my hair and just be someone's kid for a while. The worst thing about being a tiny family is that there's no one left to take care of me sometimes. And I kinda need that tonight.

“All authors are using AI now” Not true! A lot of us use crippling childhood trauma.

The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

Hey! I've got a friend looking for semi-realistic / lightly stylized portrait of her TTRPG character Budget is mid-range. Who's taking commissions right now?

These people do not care that their preferred medical interventions do not actually work for the vast majority of patients over the long term. The punishment is the point.

People think fat people should have to suffer to lose weight.

Seeing an uptick in anti-peptide people saying that it's healthier to lose weight the old fashioned way because it doesn't involve "drugs" I'm deeply skeptical of this. GLP-1 peptides seem to do more than simply mute hunger.

Earth, from Artemis II. Everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever known, all that you have traveled is contained in this picture.

"No no I need your health to be a morality play for ME otherwise life doesn't seem FAIR no I do no want the consequences of MY actions I want you to suffer what I think is the consequence of YOURS that's FAIR"

"Tech killed online education" is a heck of an outcome.

Five television shows to get to know me: ▪︎ M*A*S*H* ▪︎ Criminal Minds ▪︎ Stargate SG-1 ▪︎ The Mentalist ▪︎ Sports Night Bonus: ▪︎ Transformers (G1) ▪︎ Homicide: Life on the Street ▪︎ Dead Boy Detective Agency

My new legal theory is that a giant anvil should fall from the sky onto Alito's head.

Excuse me, I need to refuse to move to Nevada, and go file for divorce before I'm completely demolished by abuse And get my ass back in college where it belongs

If I hear one more clueless Democrat lecturing us on the good people on both sides of the aisle, they get a pie to the face.

remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights, and he was a white man from Britain who started writing Discworld in the 80s nobody else has any excuse

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!! We have always existed, and we always will. Never let anyone convince you otherwise 💙🤍💖

Luna nos preocupa... Tiene 5 meses. Es tímida y su color no ayuda. Tenemos miedo de que sea invisible. Hay gente que nos ha dicho "si no la puedo coger no la quiero" "5 meses ya es muy mayor". Os podemos pedir un esfuerzo de difusión? #Valencia #Madrid 678 34 76 73 #adoptanocompres

Backwards planning, routinely slammed as "teaching to the test." ▪︎ i want students to know THIS (objective) ▪︎ how i will know they know (assessments PLURAL) ▪︎ how do i ensure they know (lessons, assignments, labs, projects, etc) ▪︎ design lessons Why the fuck would you test what you haven't taught?

Waiting for my MRI and there is a small child bent double over a phone, watching some whiny-voiced cartoon at full volume. The actual waiting room TV is also on I'm going to die

Lithgow claims JKR is misunderstood. Lithgow is now on my do not watch. This breaks my heart a little.

Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays. Too preachy. Kirk's show wasn't like this. Average TOS episode: AI is bad and should never be allowed to run a society. Also, make peace because nationalism kills and every life form must be respected equally.

“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”
