Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Why Shopping Local This Indie Bookstore Day Is More Important Than Ever Several independent book store owners are encouraging people to go out to their local independent bookstores to buy some novels to help celebrate Independent Bookstore Day and keep independent busines...

Do your interests include books AND Taylor Swift?!

The Phantom Library has a lot of games included a prompt-based Swifty game where you read prompts to collect songs. Enough songs gets you an album!

I'll tell him you said so! ❤️

Teddy loves laying on my lap as I read! (If it's an ebook, the reading ceases because he ends up on my chest and I've gotta move the eReader.)

What did the triangle say to the circle?

You’re pointless.

Big, tall, bold, all capital letters in white font that reads AMERICA IS BACK

From the White House website front page: "AMERICA IS BACK" in big, bold print.

Legit, my first thought was, "Where'd we go? I'd remember a four year vacation. Was I a victim of Thanos's 4-year blip? Was I living in a parallel universe starting with an alternate 1985?"

I can't wait to get home, relax with my cat, an audiobook, and some video games. Gonna take my political rage out on some lego supervillains.

a golden retriever pup sits on some fresh snow beneath a clear blue sky. he’s holding one paw at the bottom left corner of the frame as if he’s taking a selfie. he has on a plaid vest and a dark blue harness, and, it must be said, has a bunch of snow glued to his little black nose. he was measuring with his snout. he’s sticking the tiniest tip of his pink tongue out, either because he’s concentrating or he’s about to lick all the snowflakes off his face.

This is Kai. He is on ski patrol reporting snow levels. According to his measurements, it has snowed. 12/10
