Abortions have become 6% rarer since the end of Roe v Wade

That overall number disguises a huge variation between states

I've said many times, I have felt the overview effect by imaging/studying other celestial bodies and, as the gentleman says at the Twitter link below (DO watch it), experiencing awe on a regular basis.

No need to take a trip to space for this. Simply spend time with images of the cosmos. A good start: images we took of Saturn & its environs with Cassini at http://ciclops.org.

Enjoy!

I'm a total sucker for gamified learning. Doing module after module of C# training on Microsoft's Learn site, watching my XP increase with glee.

Actually looking forward to working with stuff like JIRA tickets because I'm fairly sure I'll be compulsively productive in that kind of environment.

It's kind of hilarious how angry bigots are about the "cis" appellation. You know how you could get people to stop using it? STOP SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME SPECULATING ABOUT PEOPLE'S GENITALS AND WE WON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT

I was strolling on Lincoln Rd in Miami this evening and had this nagging sense of deja vu. I eventually realized that I was smack dab where my Aunt Elizabeth had posed for a photo something close to 70 years earlier. (Before I figured this out, I hadn't even known where which state the photo of her had been taken in.)

We have a public night tonight at Lucile Miller Observatory. With clouds, we got this image M51 with the Unistellar eVscope 2. Guests logged onto the scope’s wifi hub and captured their own images as I controlled the scope. This is a fundamental game changer for public outreach.
