I was waiting for a mention of OceanGate Expeditions controlling submarines using a Logitech F710 Wireless PC Gamepad, but alas. Too grim?

Nobody was gonna buy them soybeans anyways.

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

My linocut portrait of Margaret Burbidge shows the astrophysicist in gold in from the shoulders up looking directly at the viewer. She has short hair with a little curl and wears a short-sleeved button down shirt with wide stripes. Behind her in black ink is space complete with stars and galaxies. At the base in the centre is a semicircular diagram (flat side down) of a supergiant star cross section in a radial gradient of yellow to red with small radiating irregular spikes. This is overprinted in black concentric rings labelled from the centre out: Fe, Si,O, Ne, C, He, H. At the bottom is a stellar adsorption spectrum: a thin horizontal strip with rainbow gradient of violet at the left through to red at the right with sporadic black vertical stripes. It is printed by hand on ivory Japanese washi paper, 11” x 14”

For the #Spacetober_challenge prompt historic person, day 17, 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🔭 #histsci I’m sharing my portrait of British-born, American #astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) who was one of the people instrumental in building our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis, how nuclei are produced in

Funny, I don't have to be cajoled, shamed, or bullied into using a tool that doesn't suck.

Jocularity! Jocularity!

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

A post that is deleted, rewritten, and posted again is called a "palimpsest."

A post that is written in very tiny font and rolled up and placed inside a charm and worn about the neck is called a "phylactery."

Posters of the inflatable frog are stuck to the wall of a building and they say "Don't Obey."

Don't obey.
Stand up to fascists.
Make good trouble.

Somebody should have filled these people's houses with Jiffy Pop long before this.

A lot of visual art, too. Some of my favorite drawings are me trying to copy someone else's art, failing, and discovering I love the failure.

Really excited about my second quarter class and the exciting new developments from the Curriculum Committee.

Giving up my human visage was really the right way to go. Should have done it years ago.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Flat, graphic illustrated poster entitled "Red-Eyed Birds of North America" featuring shadowy gray-blue silhouetted birds punctuated by bright red eyes. 23 birds are depicted in total, some highlights being the Snail Kite, Roseate Spoonbill, Common Loon, and Wood Duck.

Men are afraid of feminism because they think women will do what men did; declare themselves superior and take over.

White people are terrified of people of color having power for the same reasons.

It's on my TBR shelf. Very excited—also no time to read. 🙃

I’m making a cozy game that will help plant real trees and restore nature irl 🌳

Wow, Chandrasekhar really did do a little bit of everything, didn’t he.

I am vaxxed to the maxx (covid, flu, and shingles, all in one day) and absolutely hating my life right now. But it is Fall Break and my immune system is working hard so I shall feel no guilt in retiring to the couch and playing Kerbal Space Program all day.

This is garbage. Membership in these societies and attendance at conferences is open to all physicists. They do not represent discrimination against ANYONE.
