I am honestly impressed at how well the default feed at https://t.co/W4UoDQyLxG aligns with what my Twitter feed looks like

Animation (sped up 500x) from one of @LCO_Global's 1 meter telescope at @SAAO South Africa showing effects of #DARTMission impact into Dimorphos (Still no threat to the Earth... Long straight streak is camera artifact)

COVID level: High

Business/Organization: No mask mandate, we are going by county guidelines

County: No mask mandate, we are going by state guidelines

State: No mask mandate, we are going by CDC guidelines

CDC: It’s up to local places to decide

Accountability: Zero

[COVID Advocacy Initiative @COVID_Advocacy]

It's exciting to see cities and counties across the US reinstating their mask mandates and protecting people from #COVID! #MandateMasks

Here's a thread with many places that are mandating masks! Please let us know if you hear of other places! 🧵 ❤️

I lost my job because I spoke to a man the way men speak to me.

This is why women leave the tech industry.
