@Dr_CMingarelli Looks good! Will let you know what stuck once we chat about it :)

@Dr_CMingarelli do you know of a good article on the gravitational wave background measurement that is accessible for tweens?

@DebTirna @NWOFunding @smithsonian @Harvard Congratulations and well-earned!

So….all those websites that say that cantharidin is a painless wart treatment? Really haven’t asked my 6 yo over the last 30 hours.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

Told 5 yo cousin that if he didn’t get in the car right now, when we got home he would sit and watch others play for five minutes before he could join. In the car, after a delicate silence, 6 yo child asks “when you are a parent, do you get to choose if you will be nice or mean?”

@erikakcarlson @NatureInTheory @jorgito__moreno @GwenCRudie And actually constant temperature outside the core is generally a good assumption. Assume that all the gas crashed into the bottom of the cluster potential, shocked to a high temperature, and filled the cluster volume.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

@erikakcarlson @NatureInTheory @jorgito__moreno @GwenCRudie There are NCC clusters, or non-cool core clusters, for which this assumption holds, but there are also CC clusters, or cool-core clusters where the temperature does not rise. I am not sure of the fraction of each type of cluster, but there are a good number of CC clusters

@SFGrAdventure Are you opening April 5? Cannot find any updates on this old post.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

*spoiler alert for first Avatar movie*. My 10yo is not talking to me because he had to go to bed right after the hometree got destroyed. I feel genuinely bad for him.

So much about the book was clearly to help teens accept and love themselves for who they are rather than try to be something they are not. Some of the pages brought tears to my eyes they were so beautifully affirming. Glad it will stay accessible in our library.

Yesterday I went to a public library meeting in my town in which they reviewed a request to ban 6 books. The requesters called them pornographic and dangerous, and asked that if they weren’t banned they should be in a special section of the library that required parental consent.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

Although I am against book banning on principle, I read one rated for 10-14 year olds, wondering if I would object to my almost 11 yo reading it. It was a wonderful book, talking about really important topics like consent in a relatable way.

@timdavisastro Very sorry for your loss, sending warm thoughts.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

@niais Literally never again. Go for sparkly eyeshadow.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

@Dr_CMingarelli Congratulations!

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

@astronemly That’s what I went for. And then I made spouse put her down!!!! HAHAHAHAHA I am an evil GENIUS.

[Stephanie Tonnesen @StephTonnesen]

Stuck in a quandary: 5 yo with a cold hysterically screamed at me that she was starving but not for a banana then passed out on couch. We have hit the half hour mark - let her sleep, enjoy the quiet and deal with the consequences at bedtime? Or wake her?
