I am never happy when these designs do well. It’s always mixed with news that’s devastating.

My feminist fabrics on spoonflower are bestsellers again. I will be totaling up my commissions and donating every cent to @ElevatedAxs - pilots transporting people who need abortion or gender affirming healthcare. https://t.co/IpmWDYJtPC

This month will be the 20th anniversary of @plutokiller discovering Quaoar - I think it’s worth celebrating.

@unicode @plutokiller @Caltech These are cool! Does Eris have one? I found these “proposed” but that’s it…

[spacefem @spacefem]

@cbartelsLIT @plutokiller Depends on the test. Pluto has whatever Eris has.

@plutokiller Pretty sure my kids gave me COVID - they tested positive with NO symptoms this week, I had a sore throat. Oh well. It’s boring being home but grateful we’re all vaccinated.

Inclusion fail of the week…

Coworker asked me to review a presentation.

I said it’s great except how can you read red text on a gray background?

He said “oh, I can’t. but I’m colorblind af, I thought normal people could read it.”

Yeah what? He tried to exclude himself!

@rmgrhns I always wait a week or two until the internet has sniffed me and wandered away. By then, you’ll have forgotten about me.

Idk why this happens every year now ON THIS DATE but the internets decide everybody should take one quiz and crash my site. I’m in no mood! Sorry friends.

[spacefem @spacefem]

The sad thing is, last time I took down my site I told everybody to wear a mask and wash their hands. Still works!

Off to add “and get your damn shots”too…

My middle schooler is getting ready for school to start in three days. I was worried but today she woke up before noon! Success in on our horizon now friends!

@HerbertHistory I can’t wait! 19th century capitalist portrayed as a champion of diversity and inclusion what could possibly be inaccurate?

[spacefem @spacefem]

the twisties in gymnastics sounds like when you try remembering the actual numbers of your locker combination and your hand totally forgets how to open the damn thing

Today a colleague said people can hear me roll my eyes over the phone. Off to add a resume bullet!

I got my 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine two days ago! No real side effects, didn’t feel bad at all just normal.

You may now insert some joke about how I wasn’t normal before 😉... that’s okay say whatever you want, just go get vaccinated!

[spacefem @spacefem]

@Red_Shirt_no2 Awe yeah. I never think about what it would be like to be on the bottom of the food chain!

Earthworms in the landscaping get moved to the garden.

I think it’s nice to dig a little hole for them, my man says make them dig their own hole. What else do they have going on today? Eat dirt, lay in dirt... if we take “dig hole in dirt” that’s 1/3 of their activity. 🤔
