my second book is out in the world today!! still does not feel real but here we are :-)

How To Survive On The Moon is out in the US now! Astronaut approved! Written by the incredibly smart @solarrsystem.bsky.social and published by Neon Squid!

2025 career goal: land something on the Moon as gracefully as possible 🫡

the constant urge to want to write a sci-fi book but also having the continuous reminder that i only have 24 hours in a day

How to Survive on the Moon An illustrated guide to lunar survival for kids from rocket scientist Joalda Morancy.

we need to intensely study the phenomena of how the PEMDAS argument manages to pop up so frequently and ruins our lives for like a day

thanks!! haha yeah i always thought “how hard could this be” until i actually tried it and my lungs were on fire 🥲🥲

don’t get me wrong i still have a love hate (more like hate hate) relationship with running

i need ppl to know that i ran for 20 minutes for the first time ever in my life (like a month or so ago i could barely run for half a minute) 🥲

baby steps, baby steps

I’ve made it my main 2024 goals to finally get into rowing as a sport and get my pilots license 🙏🏾 (mind you these were my 2023 goals)

it looks like it’ll be an awesome book!

new natural satellite of the Earth just dropped: Moom

tired: wanting to become an astronaut to float in microgravity
wired: wanting to become an astronaut to distance myself from as much people as possible on the Moom

just recently discovered my love for epistolary novels, easiest way to make reading even more fun

Maturing and growing up is realizing that filling every ounce of your free time with a personal project is the quickest way to burn out 🥲🥲
