In 1991, when I was a freshman in college, Magic Johnson was diagnosed with HIV. My roommate (a basketball player and fan) was genuinely devastated. We all assumed this meant he would be dead within a couple of years. He's 67 now. ❤️ bsky.app/profile/mdru...

Cemetery coyote spotted this morning! Absolutely gorgeous animal, sauntering along the bike path.
The spooky season has arrived, and that means Creepy Biology is upon us. It's time to talk origins. It's time to talk gore. It's time to talk about BLOOD. Specifically, YOUR blood 🩸 [a thread]
Today I got complimented on my “I can fly anything” tote bag by a young teenage girl in Spirit Halloween. “I like your bisexual bag, I’m bisexual too.” 💙💜💖
I cannot possibly be the first person to say this about the PWHL Seattle team. Right?
Man there is just nothing like the Pacific Rim soundtrack. You feel like you can fight the hurricane and win.
Chilling in the Armory before a Kraken game. Heated Rivalry jerseys/shirts spotted: 2. One was on half of a queer couple where the other person was wearing a Torrent jersey. I refrained from yelling “gaaaaaaaaay”* through great force of will. *affectionately
Crews doing locates at my bus stop reminds me of the time years ago when an incredibly nice paving crew moved the stop for me.
You might want to sit down for these... 5,014 days after it landed, the Curiosity rover sent back these absolutely stunning images of Mars. The rover's incredible team deserves some credit from NASA's bosses for their achievement. Images: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk/Additional processing S Atkinson
Speaking of sense memories, I always revisit this incredible @tomjunod.bsky.social feature from 2021 about "Falling Man," photographer Richard Drew, and the image's indelible impact on our culture and all that came next.
The Falling Man

Since GTA6 still isn't ready, we made this instead #wnbst
I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
Never gonna say goodbye, to this FedEx guy, or a carpet that's not beneath you #dragoncon2026
I know the coolest people and no you cannot have details.
Continuing to refine my half-elven paladin costume. Original design by @valentinebarker.com , gradual accretion of costume pieces from various local and online vendors. Valentine did the moon/diamond design for her shield originally but I decided to use it as a tattoo cover up today.
Emergency restyling complete! Ripley is again a hot mess of curls, as she should be.
Them: We want to start a fume hood back up. Me: Okay, not really my thing unless it was a former rad lab. [starts pulling contact info of the correct person] Out of curiosity, which room? Them: Seaborg's former space. Me: [hands freeze] I can already tell you that you don't have enough money.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
We are finishing up the quarter in style. Started with 111 in Canvas, two paper exams, one stack of untabulated scantrons, and three classes to finalize grades for. It’s all due 11:59 pm tomorrow.

Jacquelyn Gill@jacquelyngill.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey folks, this hasn’t gotten much attention, but remember those proposed OMB rule changes we all commented on recently? There’s a new attempt to sneak them just for NSF. We have three days to comment. Please don’t sleep on this!
