This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

England, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Wales should pull out of the World Cup and play a friendly tournament instead. It would get more viewers and destroy FIFA. Norway are also invited, as long as each team gets to borrow Erling Haaland for a game. (Ideally the game against Norway.)

@tonyhightower I'm with you. I was looking forward to it but I can't in good conscience watch any of the games.

FYI - Clara Wieck published 11 opuses BEFORE she married that other composer. 😁

@4jpgreen oops! I wouldn't have explained the location in so much detail if I'd realized you were in Mass! I thought from your comment you were maybe in Canada...

Stand up. Take the yellow card. What will people remember 10, 20, 100 years from now? Who won? No, who stood up for human rights and who caved for money. #lgbtq #HumanRights #BoycottQatar2022 #BoycottQatar

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?

Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.

Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.

Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
