Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…
It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

A classic NASA color portrait of Dr. Mae Carol Jemison, the first Black woman in space, captured in her official astronaut attire. She stands confidently in the center of the frame wearing a vibrant orange NASA flight suit with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, a blue-and-red NASA worm logo on her right, and a name tag reading “MAE JEMISON” above a mission patch. A large circular mission insignia for STS-47 (“Gibson APT Brown / Lee Davis Jemison Morgan”) is visible on her chest. She holds her white-and-black astronaut helmet with both hands in front of her torso, her short dark hair neatly styled, and offers a warm, radiant smile that conveys pride, determination, and joy. The background is a softly blended blue studio backdrop evoking the vastness of space. The composition blends technical precision with personal warmth, celebrating her historic 1992 flight aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour as Mission Specialist, where she conducted experiments in materials science and bone cell research. The image powerfully symbolizes her groundbreaking contributions to space exploration, diversity in STEM, and her lifelong commitment to making science accessible to all.
A color portrait of Dr. Mae Carol Jemison, the first Black woman to travel into space and a pioneering engineer, physician, and advocate for science education. In this warm, studio-lit photograph from 2013, she appears as a confident woman with short, stylishly layered dark hair, smiling directly at the camera with a bright, engaging expression that radiates warmth, intelligence, and approachability. She wears a soft blue V-neck top, large silver hoop earrings, and a striking black cord necklace featuring a prominent circular turquoise pendant that rests at her collarbone. The background is a smooth, neutral gradient, keeping the focus entirely on her poised and professional presence. The overall composition is intimate and celebratory, conveying quiet strength and accomplishment while highlighting her enduring role as an inspirational figure in STEM and in women’s history.

I’m bored waiting for a flight. So here is one of thousands of hatchets thrown at my Celtic dad by Knicks fans in the 50’s #celtics #nba
Define sober.
And if we lose our jobs, we lose our health care. So no way to get those bullets out.
Spent my childhood going to games there. My father was an enforcer in the 50s.
As the youngest kid I would retreat to the stairs where I could listen and watch but not be overwhelmed.
I think red dresses would be appropriate for each of us crones.
I assume barristas know that talking to my dog triples the tip. #dogsofbluesky
Anna May and I with hundreds of others at a small town #nokings
I do both of those too.
I’ve had 50 years of protest experience and believe telling people not to speak is wrong. Very corporate sounding. Being an organizer is not the same as being a king. People should speak to whomever they want. You can advise against it. But issuing orders on what to say to whom is disturbing.
Born 24 March 1935 - Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific bass guitarists, who has played on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years. Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She is 91 years old today. #CarolKaye
As someone who researches these folks, I can say they really spend a lot of time discussing spanking kids. It’s disturbing as hell.

I just read and did my best to understand it in his honor. (My feeble best)
Soul healing
Nope
I thought he was dead.
We love a good prebuttle
We’re ready and waiting for your prebuttle
The constant stress is going to shorten our lives. Not to mention the simmering rage.
I just got my power back after two days, and my first thought was I know what I’m not doing with this electricity.

My latest book chapter on climate, public health, and regional security is available on ScienceDirect, on how environmental change reshapes governance, resilience, and what we mean by security in the 21st century.
