The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face roll...

Make good shit. Sell good shit. Profit.

Portrait of American astronaut Judith Resnik smiling warmly at the camera in a studio setting. She wears a bright blue NASA flight jacket with a black name tag clearly reading “NASA” and “JUDY RESNIK JSC-HOUSTON” on her left chest; her dark, voluminous curly hair frames her face as she looks directly forward with a confident, joyful expression. Behind her stands a detailed white model of the Space Shuttle, capturing her as the pioneering electrical engineer and second American woman in space who flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery before perishing in the 1986 Challenger disaster.

Judith Resnik was the 2nd American woman in space and 4th woman in space overall.

Resnik (born #OTD in 1949) was an electrical engineer, software engineer, biomedical engineer, pilot, and NASA astronaut. She died at age 36 in the Space Shuttle 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 disaster in 1986.

Black-and-white portrait of American pediatrician and microbiologist Dr. Hattie Alexander seated at a laboratory bench, smiling gently toward the camera. She wears a crisp white lab coat over a patterned blouse, with a pearl necklace and earrings, her hair neatly styled. A large vintage microscope sits prominently on the bench to the left, while her hands rest on the bench near laboratory equipment; shelves and framed items line the background walls of the lab, capturing her as the pioneering scientist who developed the first effective treatment for inflienzal meningitis.

Dr. Hattie Alexander developed the first effective treatment for influenzal meningitis in 1939. It dropped the infant mortality rate of ~100% down to ~20%. 😮

When she added sulfa drugs & antibiotics--> ~5%.

First female president, American Pediatric Society, 1964. Born #OTD in 1901. #WomenInSTEM

Vegimals The Vegimals are creatures that are half vegetable and half animal. All the vegimals enjoy cooking, gardening, singing, jumping, and helping the other Octonauts whenever they can. They speak Vegimales...

Never ceases to amaze how deep the rabbit hole goes for any subject.

How it started: is that one’s name Tunip because it sings tunes?

How it’s going: no, they all sing. Tunip is a portmanteau of Tuna and Turnip. There’s 4 other named vegimals in the show, but…

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

But so much dumber.

So true

Now some Faetooth to bring my heart rate back down.

New Archspire, you say? Don’t mind if I dooooooOOOOOHHHHHMMMYYYGOOOODDDDDD

Coffee in a glass stein with Dirtbag Ales on it

Today’s a coffee-in-a-stein kind of a day.

Today’s a Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth kind of a day.

Oh right. Today is my least favorite day of the year, when my trusting nature is constantly betrayed.

Ugh.

Wouldn’t that be loosey fur?

Fair is fair

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to my trans homies, you're gorgeous and I love you.

and happy you better be fucking donating to a mutual fund to support trans folks or calling your reps about HR 7661 or donating to ACLU ID or KS to fight the fresh shitty laws there day to my cis people

Hard co-sign.

Them: consume this novel
Bot: this is proprietary work. Do you have signed documents allowing you to use it?
Them: uhhh….
Bot: this is wrong. You shouldn’t steal for your own profit. Shame on you.
Them: /cries and reconsiders all their life choices and finds a therapist

Since tech bros do whatever their chatbots tell them to do, we just have to train the chatbots on ethics and environmental science. Problem solved.

Them: the genie is out of the bottle
Me: so kill the genie
Them: what? You can’t kill a genie.
Me: hold my beer

I punched the face of god and now my clavicle hurts, a memoir.

Gonna push these dumbbells to the sky to punch the face of a god I don’t believe in until I feel better.

Definitely a KPDH on a loop whilst slinging heavy things around… kind of a Monday.

My hair is now long enough that you can tell by the way I use my walk…

I wonder how many confused puritans showed up for the no kinks protests

A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology #WomensHistoryMonth

Educational diagram in exploded view showing the internal layers of the Earth. From left to right: a cutaway globe with blue surface and white continents labeled “CRUST,” followed by the thick brown mantle labeled “MANTLE,” the red outer core labeled “OUTER CORE,” and the small yellow inner core labeled “INNER CORE.” A complete blue globe with continents appears on the right for scale. All layers are separated horizontally to reveal the structure.

#OTD in 1936, Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann wrote a famous letter to a colleague outlining her theory that seismic waves (P-waves) recorded from distant earthquakes indicated Earth had a solid inner core.

Her discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior. #WomenInSTEM
