RET

Well, being a #spacehistorian, archivist, nonprofit Director, poet, and mom can get a bit hectic so I've been posting on the other platforms more (sorry) because bsky just hasn't picked up as much, plus it is too truncated! BSKY needs to be long form for deeper content! Heres a #poem though!

I did a thing today!

It's a painting I did for my Father & became the logo for my nonprofit that honors all Viking Team members & @mango_tattss had the skills to execute. Now I carry him with me.

Thank you Artemis Ink in Boulder, CO and Mango!

On July 4th I cannot in good conscience celebrate...

...You see we are a fledgling nation, born of ideas and ideals that have never been perfectly practiced because in fact we were formed imperfectly on the backs of families who were here before us...

Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

Over the years I've been asked why don't I donate my Viking spacecraft to the Smithsonian? Why do I keep "old papers" that can "just be digitized".

I have 2000 sq feet of Viking Archives that can't be censored or manipulated. If you want to help DM me

www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Send me a DM to request or nominate a venue for a talk! We welcome all kinds of spaces! Libraries, museums, grange hall, bookstore!

And this is why Archives need cameras and have no bag policies! 😔 a travesty!

Boycott all these every day

The boycotts have to be more than a day. This is also the time to offer support to neighbors. ALL neighbors! Even those who put us here. If we extend a genuine hand people will see we need community not dictators.

100%
I've never seen such a display of school yard bullying out of a "leader" (and sidekicks). Literally trying to force him to say words "tell America thank you" "you cant win this without us"... Also classic abuser behavior - shame then create false dependency on fake heroism.

Horrifying!

These interviews are great! Such unique stories and interesting people! Sometimes we focus on the fight so much we don't look deeply enough at the people themselves and here we get the human AND the struggle! Both are important to make the change we need to see! Thanks @multiracialverse.bsky.social

Hellooooo! (Said with a mock echo for emphasis) 😁

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.
