I'm kinda terrible with social media, so I'm trying another, thanks to an invite from a friend! I'm now on the app named for the great expanse of atmosphere that typically appears Blue by day (when not completely white, grey, or covered in warmer colours). Same handle there.

Welp the android app has updated, so I'm deleting and will probably never log on again. I doubt anyone would want to spoof me after my inactive account is deleted, but just know it's not me. Find me in the sky or elephant zone!

So long and thanks for all the fish!

@reinventedmag @cae_looney Ooo, I really want to, but I need to wait to buy a ticket because I can't afford it right now! Fingers crossed there will still be one left when I have money again 🤞

@nathanwpyle @PBS Oof, that's my childhood in a nutshell (minus Square One, I don't know that one). I'm pretty sure I can still speak Ubby-Dubby and sing the theme song for Reading Rainbow

[Dr Renée Spiewak @respiewak]

Since this hellsite is rapidly imploding, I'll probably completely cease activity here but keep my handle (although how that works with inactive accounts being deleted is unclear...) and only post over there.

@maggiekb1 @erinbiba My sister's cat's proper name is Professor Jenkins, but we've always suspected that he does not actually have a Doctorate in anything

Our new voyages have landed! Book online now: https://t.co/67tSSKP72t

[Dr Renée Spiewak @respiewak]

So amazing when a book arrives that you preordered months ago and completely forgot! Past-Me did good for once!!

@qikipedia I was ready to be embarrassed, but I'm actually proud of this one 😅

Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

If anyone would prefer to read about the #pulsar announcements in comic form, @PHDcomics has you covered!

[Physics Magazine @PhysicsMagazine]

Today's groundbreaking gravitational-wave discovery explained in pictures by @PHDcomics. Congrats to @NANOGrav @EPTAGW @InPTA_GW @CSIRO_ATNF and the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array. https://t.co/h6qQPJHUCd
