Loves Cats, Chocolate, Aliens, Space and being silly. “Some friendships are so strong, they can even transcend lifetimes”

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

Rest in peace, Hayden Panettiere 🩵   Millions knew her for her iconic roles, but we'll remember her for fighting for animals, from saving a flock of birds to opposing the confinement of dolphins and whales.   Honor her legacy by never being silent when animals suffer 🌊

MUST-SEE 🚨 A breaking PETA Asia investigation exposes the reality behind Japan’s Ban'ei horse racing industry.  Pain is written all over the horses' faces as they’re beaten and forced to haul heavy sleds, visibly struggling under the weight 💔🐴

Zwerfkatten doodschieten terwijl het niets oplost? Na Friesland wil Overijssel dit ook gaan doen. Afschuwelijk en barbaars. Teken jij de petitie? Zwerfkatten zijn t zoveelste slachtoffer van de intensieve landbouw die o.a. door landbouwgif de echte oorzaak is voor de teruggang van weidevogels. 1/2

Partij voor de Dieren stelde eerder voor om 2 miljard euro belastinggeld niét aan Tata Steel te geven. Het geld hebben we hard nodig om o.a. mensen die het moeilijk hebben te helpen.👇🏽 We deden er alles aan om D66, CDA, PRO, Ja21 te informeren. Maar hun stemgedrag is tot nu onbegrijpelijk.

Tata Steel liegt wéér over ‘groen' staal, negeert keer op keer de wet en maakt valse beloftes👇🏽 Wat doet kabinet-Jetten? Die wil deze onbetrouwbare multinational 2 miljard belastinggeld geven. Stop met het spekken van een Indiaas bedrijf met Nederlands belastinggeld.

Tata Steel tot de orde geroepen door RCC vanwege claims over groen staal

De Reclame Code Commissie heeft Tata Steel tot de orde geroepen om reclame over zijn verduurzamingsplannen. Het staalbedrijf heeft volgens de RCC onvoldoende onderbouwd dat het zijn CO2-uitstoot in 20...

DYK the iron in your blood was forged the heart of a supernova?🌟 Astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge was lead author of the 1957 "B²FH" paper. Along w/her colleagues, she proved how stars create the majority of elements of the periodic table. Born #OTD 1919. We are made of "star stuff."🔭 #WomenInSTEM

Margaret Burbidge (1919–2020), pioneering British-American astrophysicist and lead author of the 1957 B²FH paper that proved stars forge nearly all chemical elements beyond hydrogen and helium through stellar nucleosynthesis; her work provided the foundational evidence that we are made of "star stuff." The black-and-white photograph shows her as an woman standing indoors at an event, smiling warmly at the camera with a gentle, confident expression; she has short wavy gray hair, wears a patterned top or dress with a bold abstract floral design, layered with multiple strands of pearl necklaces, and a dark tailored coat or jacket over it, set against a plain brick wall and a partial sign in the background.

Actress & producer Viola Davis is one of the few performers to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar & a Tony (EGOT). She is on TIME's 100 most influential people in the world, 2012 and 2017 & the NYT ranked her 9th on its list of the greatest 21st century actors. She was born #OTD in 1965. 🎈 #MovieSky

A studio headshot of award-winning actress and producer Viola Davis (born 1965), celebrated historically as one of the few elite performers to achieve EGOT status. Positioned centrally in the frame against a soft, solid dark gray background, she faces forward with a serene, confident expression and a gentle, close-lipped smile. Her dark skin is complemented by elegant makeup, emphasizing her eyes. Her dark brown hair is styled into a voluminous, wavy shoulder-length bob with a subtle side part. She wears a structured, sleeveless white blouse featuring a striking black trim along a deep V-neckline. Small, dangling gemstone earrings catch the studio light, adding a touch of sophistication. The composition is clean and focused, utilizing soft professional lighting that highlights her features. The overall mood is poised, dignified, and empowering, reflecting her monumental legacy in contemporary cinema and theater.
