Now freed from purgatory following the end of the shutdown: I got to write about Curiosity celebrating seven Mars years of exploring Gale Crater, highlighting the occasionally overlooked accomplishments of our environmental science team.

Kīlauea's really doing its best to beat its own height and volume records this episode.

That didn't take nearly as long as I expected it to.

The true hallmark of a successful transition will be when the emails from Extremely Serious And Real Journals filling my spam folder start to use the new name.

I love not understanding what's going on because what the hell does this mean.

I love seeing people outside the train getting excited watching the train go by because me too.

Not the most visually spectacular image, but I found myself with a clear sky just far enough out of town for Night Mode to catch C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).

I appear to have upset Elsevier somewhat by attempting to unsubscribe from their marketing emails.

Finally caught one of Toronto's two daily incoming A380s on arrival (and also a solar halo).

Love trying to submit change of name/gender identity forms and then remembering that I'm at an institution that's run in such a way that it is about half a second away from completely imploding at all times. 🙄

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.
I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

First images of comet #3I/ATLAS from Europe's Mars orbiters 😍

Observing the comet from 30 million km away, #ExoMars reveals the halo of gas and dust surrounding the comet's nucleus.
