During covid times I hosted zoom gatherings for people who were having trouble getting writing done. I’m thinking about firing up a new one for June—DM me if you are having trouble getting writing (of any kind) done and are interested in changing that!

I’m at a Bikini Kill show and have been keeping it together but someone just walked by wearing Drakkar Noir and it’s actually too much, temporally speaking. I have traveled through a wormhole. It’s 1991 help

Stop asking writers if they’re going to strike and start asking studios why they won’t pay writers what they’re worth.

Maybe more conservatives would choose to be professors if it paid better. Y'all can't spend a generation eroding tenure and turning academia into underpaid feminized work and then expect actual conservatives to show up in equal numbers. Like, you gotta pick one

In many ways, the crew of STS-51L represented a cross section of the American population, and each crew member had a unique story. We share their stories in "Remembering the Challenger Seven": https://t.co/89Cj8HXdR7

For the 35th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger's last mission, I'm going to share 35 Challenger facts you might not know. #1: You probably didn't watch it live. None of the major networks carried the launch, so only those with special access saw a live broadcast.

Fifth most inspiring trip I’ve ever had, but only because I’ve flown in space four times.
Kyiv, Irpin, Bucha. Wards of Okhmatdyt and destroyed houses. Points of Indomitability. When our ambassador, astronaut @StationCDRKelly, visited Ukraine, he had a very eventful time. From meetings with Ukrainian children and Air Force pilots, to the President himself!

Astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, was born today in 1923. Shepard was one of the Mercury 7 and flew to space aboard Mercury Freedom 7 in 1961. He later walked on the Moon during the Apollo 14 mission: https://t.co/I0b2M0GhZa

When the NYT puts a headline in the form of a question you can be assured the answer to that question is “no”
