As a childfree person, getting my nieces' and nephews' Christmas lists is always so weird. What do you mean this 11 year-old wants Sephora gift cards?? Tan or gray sweater vests for a teenager?? What are all these anime shows?! I am so out of touch 🤣

We just had our earliest sunset here in LA until next December! Thank gods!! And it was a beautiful one, I was lucky enough to duck out of my office to grab some pictures.

This kind of thing makes me so sad because it's like, you were right there at the junction of Curiosity and Asking Good Questions and then you took a hard left into Conspiracy Theory instead of Learning Something New. Such a waste.

TFW you're late coming home from work because you got too wrapped up in your Lomb-Scargle periodogram

I know it's a cliche but I genuinely cannot comprehend that it's December???

Yesterday my husband crowed that England batted for about half of what would be considered a good at bat. So tonight I saw him watching the cricket I asked "how much are you guys winning by?"

"We're not..."

"Wait, what? I thought England did really bad?"

"They did. And then we did even worse..."

Still can't totally believe I got to do this!! What an experience!
Meet our 2025 Clarion Writers’ Workshop graduates! They’re pictured with their instructors, @jedediahberry.com and GennaRose Nethercott, who led the final two weeks.

It has been an unforgettable summer, and we’re so proud to call this class Clarion alumni!

Big day for the matriarchy! 🥳 Huge congrats to the awesome Prof. Doughtery, lead on the Jupiter-bound ESA JUICE mission & STFC Exec Chair.

If anyone's confused on the astro royal hierarchy: Michele and I are the astro equivalents of 🇬🇧Westminster and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Holyrood 🤗
