Thought this was great a idea.

Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot YouTube video by carlsagandotcom

I think one of the reasons why Artemis II had us all so captivated was that it was one of those times where we feel on such a visceral level what Carl Sagan got across in his Pale Blue Dot monologue: that we are simultaneously tiny and precious and we need each other youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g?...

I got through to one of mine - definitely worth a shot.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

Terrible news! I'm so sorry! But what incredible work you've done - it's really staggering to see some of it here!

Worksheet titled: "Evolving from Eel-less Language" and it includes a column titled "Instead of" with a red X, and a column titled "Say this" with a green checkmark. The "Instead of" column includes sayings like "You're doing it wrong" and "Look at those used condoms in the water!" The "Say this" column includes sayings like, "You're grabbing an eel by the tail" and "Hey! Manhattan eels!" I don't have the space here to list all of them. But each expression in the "Say this" column is a bonafide (read that in a Wharvey Gal's accent) historical eel metaphor. We'd all be better off if we talked more about eels.

We're all trying to be careful with our language, so as not to offend, or not to lose federal funding for talking about paragraph transitions.

To help you out, here's a worksheet to guide you in swapping out troublesome phrases for real, historical eel expressions.

It is Ash Wednesday no one has schmutz on their forehead Today, 8:25 AM

Setting this reminder was perhaps my most brilliant move ever

Come hang out! Otherwise I'll be sitting in a bar by myself!

Everything is so horrendous but you could tell this incredibly courageous young woman how much you admire her and express your solidarity and say that trans people are one of the things that gives you hope for the future.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Thank you, that means a lot to hear! It was important to me to make ace experience visible, not only ace ideas, so I am glad that came across!

Omg this is so cool!!!

No, but will be published in the forthcoming volume Early Modern Asexualities!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you enjoyed and that the argument resonated!

@badinfinity2.bsky.social's Glorious Bodies is simply my favourite thing I've read this year!

Letter below is by surgical oncologist and professor Dr. Michael Baum about how a character explaining chaos theory in a Tom Stoppard play sparked an expansion in his understanding of breast cancer, leading to exploration of adjuvant therapy that protects distant organs.

This is what art can do.

I love my research! On this week's to-do list: "early modern eel context" and "eel gender??"

Really excited for these workshops!
