What a sunbeam - and they're still shining! 💛 (but I keep crying).
I recommend everyone read Andrea Gibson's beautiful, heart-aching, -filling, -stretching incredible poetry. It's easy and accessible. Everyone needs to feel Andrea's light touch their soul.

Elon Musk's DOGE team gained access to NASA today. Musk is the CEO of SpaceX, which is NASA's largest private contractor.
This is a MAJOR conflict of interest.

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at #COP29 – larger than any other delegation at the conference . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships .

Women in Science
Should the Huffington Post have a "women in science" section on their Tech page? I think this is a great idea. Why not go further though and have a "women's" section on your Politics page since the issue is not confined to the world of white lab coats but affects half the world's population.
