All you writers, take strength from the knowledge that what you write may long outlive you. What you write may be indelible. #amwriting

@Nnedi I'm so sorry for your loss. That's hard.

@Acyn If somebody is a veteran and working a full-time job and they're called up in the reserves and serving abroad, I kind of doubt they're getting rich in some fraud or abuse scheme.

@wifesthong @laplacetransgrl Can you name some other space program that has:
- landed robots to Mars?
- sent probes to Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto?
- impacted an asteroid, changing its trajectory?
- orbited the Sun closer than any other object?
- Built a series of space telescopes?

@wifesthong @laplacetransgrl FWIW NASA is working on a huge infrastructure for the Moon — it's not going to all happen overnight:

@PD_Newman Recommending the book "Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition" — it may change your thinking on these matters:

I am sad to leave good friends behind on this app, but finally making the jump to 🟦☁️. Please look for me there under the name chrisrose. This account may linger for a bit but I won't be making new posts here.

It's timely to highlight the life & work of computer scientist Lynn Conway.
In the late 1960s, she transitioned from male to female and was sacked by IBM as a result. For some years, she went underground and, for the rest of her career, worked as a woman - herstory unknown.

Is it legal for a convicted felon to vote in Florida? Particularly one who hasn't yet completed their sentence? Just wondering idly—

@Amy_Siskind @GovernorShapiro Pennsylvania needs to do better at this! My kid is going to be in line ~5 hours or more waiting to vote!!

[Christopher Mark Rose @CChrisrose]

@Amy_Siskind @djrothkopf It's because some of the voting machines have been down all morning! Kudos to them for staying in line! But they should get the courts to extend the hours there, just as they did in Cambria County today.
