This is "good" for a few reasons. First, safety is good. Don't rush timelines because of budgets, etc... when lives are literally on the line. Second, we get more time to be excited about our return to the moon!!

My adult life has been in service as a university educator. I remain in debt to get a doctorate in higher education because I believe so strongly in it. So I have a unique perspective on #StarfleetAcademy. This show has so effectively portrayed the #StarTrek ethos through education.

The amazing #StarfleetAcademy fan art is starting!
In these exceptionally dark few weeks I’ve found a lot of comfort in STARFLEET ACADEMY! It’s hard to pick a favorite character from among the fantastic cast but I knew my first piece of fan art would have to be Sam!
Also I want pajamas with little warp cores printed on them. Now.

Conservationists can't say shit like this because now, I want a pet jaguar. I can never see a picture of a big cat and not just think literally "oh, that's just a big kitty" almost like a big version of my cat. And now I know they're soft??!
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

It's not the extreme position, IMO, that not only should we not increase DHS budgets, including those of ICE and CBP, but that these organizations cannot exist in their current forms, too easily transformed into a demagogue's secret police.
