Irregular reminder that https://womeninastronomy.blogspot.com/ exists, is well worth reading, and has recent Women In Astronomy newsletters at

https://womeninastronomy.blogspot.com/2026/03/aaswomen-newsletter-for-march-6-2026.html

Unfortunately they're not maintaining a presence in the fediverse, so as the next-best thing I've started following and will occasionally boost @womeninastronomy.blogspot.com
