A retired friend was remembering when there were departmental secretaries at universities who basically project managed the departments. You could give them handwritten documents, and they would type them up. He was shocked when I said it didn't work like that for female academics.

A bear is shitting in the woods when a rabbit strolls up beside him. Bear asks the rabbit, "Does shit stick to your fur?" Rabbit says, "Nope. The bear picks up and wipes his ass with the rabbit. Can't believe this guy has never seen a nature documentary.

Hey NZ parents, what can we do to get your young adult kids enrolled to vote? I know it's the responsibility of the young adults, but is there something we can do to help things along?
Is there like a dom sub situation but for forcing someone to write? Asking for a friend.
Calling my #astrophotography chums in the Americas: will you be staying up late tonight with your telescopes trained on the Einstein Crater? Impact: 02:34 EDT; 4 tonnes of Space-X metal (15m x 4m diameter) travelling 5400mph Expected: 50km high plume containing ~1Mkg of debris 😲🔭
Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 4d ago"Will I be able to see the crash?" Probably not, but that doesn't mean friends in the Americas shouldn't try (daylight for those in Europe): look to the eastern limb of the Einstein crater. The @eso.org VLT will observe it & NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is taking before and after images! 🔭🧪🛰️
A very good question to ask. I think we should start them young. Invest in them - including civic education. One thing I did was take my kid to a Green Party volunteer event! Fun times, and so eye-opening for the both of us.

Far out in the Pacific Ocean, there are tiny islands that few have seen. The oceans around them are full of marine life, from thriving coral reefs to sharks and tuna. The Trump administration is rolling back protections for these places. NPR got a rare visit to a remote area to see what’s at stake.
These are some of the last pristine ocean ecosystems. Now, they're losing protections
The largest conservation areas in the U.S. are in the Pacific Ocean, where tiny islands are epicenters of biodiversity. The Trump administration is now opening their waters to commercial fishing, sparking a battle over some of the country’s most pristine ecosystems.

I am becoming really fascinated with the lives of courtesans because it is really about the reproduction of this basic arrangement throughout history, and the facade of glamour and romance on top of it

In other news, I have been mega-Blazed on Tumblr (someone gave the survey post a 2,000 impressions in 24h Blaze and Tumblr decided to bump it up to 100,000 in 24h for free) and now I'm scared to check my Tumblr activity page and I got 8 anon asks overnight 🙈 It's VERY GOOD for the survey but a lot!
