In 4 of the last 5 games since being named to the 2nd Team, Lyle has gone for:

18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists
20 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists
18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists
17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists

I think he took offense to that. Best leader I’ve ever been around!

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary How is this possible? I’m a Twitter teen!

@asuiterclarke Is it wrong that this only made me laugh hysterically?

Question for gun owners. Are you not willing to jump through an extra hoop or two to get your guns if it means it will keep them out of the hands of people who use them to kill innocent children? Your rights won't be violated. We're just asking you to HELP. Please.

@eelak44 @TRFcommunity I didn’t get the link until right before Esther Perel, but if there was one speaker I wanted to hear this afternoon it was her, so I’m thankful for that!

This week I’m virtually attending the 33rd Annual Boston International Trauma Conference, and I super wish I was there in person. Next year! Loving Braeden Terpou’s talk in particular. Brains are so interesting. @TRFcommunity

@KathleenPalm I know it’s weird I suddenly reappear on Twitter tweeting about trauma but it seemed like the time.

Shame leads to a reduction in self-compassion and is a common trauma reaction.

Seeing Dr. van der Kolk lose his train of thought makes me feel so much better about my chaotic ADHD brain going rogue in the middle of sessions.
