A VERY LARGER paper mache rainbow fish sculpture covered with paper plate “scales” on top of a bookshelf in an eclecticly decorated room

Yyyyyyyoink is the sound of me stealing that idea for next year!

Meet Rainbow Fish, the art project one of my kids did contribute to. No matter how big you think it is - nope, it’s bigger.

Ask me about my burgeoning art collection! (I love it, but most of it was not actually made by my children.)

NASA's Artemis II Live Views from Kennedy Space Center YouTube video by NASA

If you wanna watch a really big rocket roll very slowly out to the launch pad in Florida, live, go here now m.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVn...

It’s the Artemis II mission, aiming to launch in the coming weeks to send humans to the Moon for the first time in over half a century

Happy Friday! Find something to celebrate today, ideally with other people. Maybe it's Shabbat. Maybe it's making it to the end of this damn week. Maybe it's someone's birthday. But winning looks like surviving on a day like today, and we are here to stay, dammit.
Fill your heart, however you need.

This overlap explains a loooooooot about academia…… 👀
