I dream of a day when all businesses are in service, the economy grows on new ideas, not exploitation, justice is restorative & our police service's duty is to sniff out the few among us who cannot put themselves in another person's shoes, & are incurably selfish.
does @NASA not have a commitment to ensure the face of science reflects America? Is only 25 % of the US population female? Is American mostly white? how will you inspire if you don't aspire? https://t.co/8sFaXftiJ5
@VRubinObs Wait, what? What about the cable wrap? What happens to the inflatable seal on take-off? What are the actuators going to push against? How's 'Simonyi' going to turn? Is the roof graded for re-entry? Did you run this past the Hawaiian Shirts?

Squirrels are pulling all the immature fruit off a semi-dwarf fruit salad tree in downtown Toronto. What can I do to deter Toronto squirrels? Also, can I 'top' this 4-year-old tree to dwarf it? When should I prune it? Thank you!
@sonjaferne I meant.... she is of a certain generation, that came through the school system before there were diagnoses for 'neural-diversity' or additional awareness- or skills- training in order to successfully manage
My suggestion @sonjaferne is consider the possibility that she can't do everything & doesn't know it. She's a neuro diverse woman-of-a-certain-age. She was put in place by the PMO which then ignored the reports (because the staffers suffering were mostly women?) for too long.
Happy International Women's Day @sonjaferne. I'm so glad we started the day by working to understand each other & our disgraced GG. (At NASA, she thrived in a highly structured military environment where she was a subordinate. She was set up to fail by the PMO & roasted by CBC.)
@inigofilms I agree. I blame PMO but she isn’t innocent re treatment of staff. Did she get away with such behaviour at NASA? Maybe she did because they needed her skill set. In that case it could be over looked. PMO needs to stop looking for star power. Johnson was excellent GG.
@sonjaferne@shawnmicallef Do you know people who are neuro-diverse -- who excel at a suite of tasks, & / but have cognitive deficits. They are brilliant coders in physics or they thrive in extremes where decisions have life & death consequences but they can't light up a room?
@inigofilms@shawnmicallef Saying that she was already an inspiration as a female astronaut- she did not need to be GG to inspire young women to do same. Also we’ve had female GGs before who conducted themselves with more class. So she wasn’t a trailblazer wrt GG position.
@sonjaferne@inigofilms and @shawnmicallefThank you for replying, to help me understand. No, I'm not saying what you are imagining. I'm saying think of someone who is neuro-diverse & superb at one job... No one later put Neil Armstrong in a job he literally could not do.
@inigofilms@shawnmicallef Are you saying Roberta Bondar wasn’t inspiring because she was not GG? Or any other smart woman outstanding in their career? Not sure what you mean either.
@StarMenMovie I am marking the passing of my friend & movie subject Roger Griffin who was suffering the impact of Alzheimer's. He named his English house Jellystone for the Yogi bear cartoons that delighted him. His diary captures him & his arrival in America. Enjoy.
