Host a teach in. Share science with your community....protest style! Calling back to the teach ins of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them.
Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.
*GASP* 😮
We know, it's a big goal.
If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.
Careful what you step on

Oh no! I’ve been Planck’d! Happy quantum day!
I almost posted “Let’s go!” Then I remembered I’m (mostly) retired 🤣
It is the government's responsibility to protect the lives of We The People, whenever possible.
The NWS and NOAA have developed and maintained an effective, lifesaving system. It benefits ALL PEOPLE in the US to continue to fund weather alerts.
The attack must stop!
Hey! The city where I went to college. Go Chips!
@khatie.bsky.social of the several hands off signs I held, one was HandsOff Canada!
Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Nazi POTUS
At our #HandsOff demonstration in little Tri-Cities, WA, this was my favorite sign
Why did you make this? What is the point?
Joy. Joy is the point. Isn't that enough?
Cool stuff!
My 3d printer project backlog just got bigger 😃
This should be amplified, so I'm posting to the #science, #astronomy, #physics, and #heliophysics feeds.

Don't miss the #OceanAcidification section. 🧪🌊🦑
Ocean acidification "endangers organisms and ecosystem services, including food security..."
With quantum internet, Gigabit will feel like something from the dialup modem era.
Or is this a step towards singularity 😬
🤣 “Someone” will have to slap a 1,500% tariff on it to make up the difference.
You probably won’t see this then but every time Mark S gets called out I get slight anxiety 😬
Ultrafast, good! Magnetic storage, hmmm
Gravitational lens, dark matter, dark energy and 35 terabytes of data. What more could you ask for?
Wanted to vent about how the world is horrible, but instead I'm just going to spread the joy and recommend all fans of fantasy literature check out @aptshadow.bsky.social's The Tyrant Philosophers series.
Highly recommended if "darker, less whimsical Discworld" sounds like your jam.
