No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Am reminded of @oldenoughtosay.com spice drawer challenge

#1 son making loaded fries

Me, out loud: I thiiiiinnk...yep, here you go

So. Life first underway. #1 son 'in town' after school.

Agreed 4pm pick-up. Now approaching 4.30 and he's walking in the wrong direction.

Now, very clearly, see the stalking apps as a mixed blessing

So tempted to drive by and pick him up but, y'know, learning to be independent..

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

In 1988, the BBC paid tribute to the heroic work of the humanist Nicholas Winton, an English stockbroker who saved more than 650 Jewish children ahead of WWII on the Kindertransport. Winton, sitting in the audience, was not aware he was sitting among the very same people he saved. Beautiful.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".

Ladies, it was a breakthrough.

I should have done this years ago.

Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000 at 85.

In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM
