A nearby town is doing a pyro show and even though I can only hear, not see it, all I can think of is the years of Disney pyro

What is that light in the sky? The answer to one of humanity's more common questions may emerge from a few quick observations. For example -- is it moving or blinking? If so, and if you live near a city, the answer is typically an airplane, since planes are so numerous and so few stars and satellites are bright enough to be seen over the glare of artificial city lights. If not, and if you live far from a city, that bright light is likely a planet such as Venus or Mars -- the former of which is constrained to appear near the horizon just before dawn or after dusk. Sometimes the low apparent motion of a distant airplane near the horizon makes it hard to tell from a bright planet, but even this can usually be discerned by the plane's motion over a few minutes. Still unsure? The featured chart gives a sometimes-humorous but mostly-accurate assessment. Dedicated sky enthusiasts will likely note -- and are encouraged to provide -- polite corrections.

One of my favorite coworkers refers to me as ‘craft mom’ and shows me all her embroidery or other hobbies, and it makes me so happy

Someone hid tiny cows all over the office and it has absolutely made my day (although I’ve somehow managed to become the #1 suspect)

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.

Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.

@desiree_niola I love the pricing systems at the food trucks and how it’s just vibes based, not food based.

One thing about working at a Children’s Museum: our facilities found a smiley face balloon in the rafters and tied it to my desk and not a single person has even batted an eye when seeing a balloon on my desk.

I went to a restaurant alone with a book tonight, and the waiter mistook me for a girl who came in a few weeks ago, also reading and eating alone. I want to find her and be her friend, she sounds awesome 💕

Truly nothing by like folding croissant dough for 3 days, then getting to smell them baking.
