Reaching Out In Grief and In Community with Amanda Davis Amanda Davis talks about the importance of community and of sharing with other people when navigating grief.

Honored and humbled to share this conversation w/ Matthew Winner on the The Children's Book Podcast where we chat about 9/11, 30,000 Stitches, hope, community, and healing. Hope you get a chance to listen and share with others today as we honor and remember ❤️ www.matthewcwinner.com/post/reachin...

Yayy! Thanks! 💗

Thank you! 😊

Yayy! 😀😀😀

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
