CNN [Mar 3] -- Senate Dems don't drop a single vote as they filibuster Rep anti-trans sports bill on a party line vote: 51-45 (60 needed to pass). Dems only lost 3 in earlier House vote. Sports is the best issue for Reps with nearly 2/3 of voters supporting. Go Dems! [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Apparently, between the switch to Bluesky and my defense and move, I've neglected to post about the last paper of my PhD. Now that it's been published in ApJ, here's a thread on how upper atmospheric opacities can alter escape rates and whether sub-Neptunes can retain primordial H/He 🔭🧪 1/10

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!
