most toots un-toot

@mekkaokereke @davidnjoku Goddamnit, I didn't even realize China landed a robot there last year and even created a small biosphere there! I'm annoyed that didn't spray across my feed then. I'm not really a space junkie beyond sci-fi enjoyment, but would have loved moon joy back then too.

For others who didn't know, h/t to @alienghic who shared a link with biosphere info:

China's Moon mission sees first seeds sprout

The seeds, inside a sealed container, are the first plants ever grown on the Moon's surface.

I couldn't agree more with Kate that it's okay--even necessary--to get mad, stay mad, and channel that anger along any number of constructive avenues in this disconcerting moment. https://grist.org/science/kate-marvel-nasa-departure-human-nature-book
Why this NASA climate scientist wants you to stay angry

“I don’t think we rebuild science without getting mad.”

This all really good, love this. It's all analyzing social behaviors, not code at all.

Trans folks who have flown recently or soon:

I'm creating a list of experiences of trans travelers with airport security, because there is a lot of scary stuff out there, and it's hard for people to know what the "ground truth" is. Please add your experiences when you go through security!

PLEASE boost & share!

The form is here to provide anonymous airport security experiences: https://forms.gle/Ui2jq8u8qEGEfCMw6

You can see the responses as I approve them (can take days) here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12IHWmQgBww2rW7Smi-wQxYTpE0FacE2A7KRvJzL1x4M/edit?usp=sharing

Trans+ Airport Security Experience Form

Please provide your experience as a trans person traveling through airport security. If you went through airport security at multiple locations along your journey, please submit additional forms for each security checkpoint you went through (for instance, if you flew from Dallas, connected in Toronto but had to also go through security there, and continued onto a third destination, you would complete one of these for Dallas and one for Toronto).
