Happy Friday people. The good news is that we have nothing to fear…
The penguins are on the march!

A somber image of the Statue of Liberty covering her face in despair, with bold text overlay: "HATE WON. MISINFORMATION WON. MISOGYNY WON. RACISM WON." Below, in red text, it reads: "AMERICA LOST." The image symbolizes deep sorrow and defeat in the face of societal injustices and failures.

We knew it would be bad, but the inauguration has solidified every fear we had. Nazi salutes, a POTUS refusing to swear on the Bible, and threats to our allies it’s like watching a Confederate neo-Nazi party take the reins instead of the new POTUS. This is THE American nightmare #DefendDenyDepose

Elon Musk’s DOGE sued minutes after Trump inauguration A lawsuit was filed against Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new nongovernmental entity as soon as Donald Trump was officially president.

Elon Musk’s DOGE sued minutes after Trump inauguration. Plaintiff says the nongovernmental DOGE panel is breaking a 1972 law that requires advisory committees to the executive branch to follow certain rules on disclosure, hiring and other practices.

Congrats to all those Trump fans who fell for the most obvious scam in the history of the world.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

Um. What did I just watch?

And let the smear campaigns begin 😊 .. the narratives they spin are insane .

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...

Truth. Especially now.

A book is brand new every time someone reads it for the first time. There's no such thing as coming late to any story.

Welcome to Blue Sky.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

❤️

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.

We need to get back to reading and critical thinking Because 2024 feels different from 2016.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

book Mary W Shelley He sprang from the cabin window as he said this upon th ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance. Written in pen is As he drifted away I could just make out his final words "its ok if you call me 'Frankenstein' instead of 'Frankenstein's Monster' I really don't mind" The end

Since moving here from the hellscape that is X, my feed is somehow now full of posts about how awesome libraries are and I am HERE FOR IT! Support your local libraries, they provide a warm space safe for everyone and the free gift of knowledge!
