I’m gobsmacked. This is appalling harassment of a black woman who is an EXPERT. She was maintaining neutrality and drawing her conclusions about the conflict from evidence and data. That is exactly what an expert should always do. The entire UN body is in question.

When Mia was freed, she declared to the world, “We will dance again.” When Emily was freed, she turned her injury into a symbol of resilience 🤟. When Liri was freed, her first message to the world was heart hands 🫶. These girls are more than survivors—they are heroes.

Today’s adventures in snorkeling, I made a new buddy friend though he was quite shy. He seemed more orange in person too.

Sfing for Channukah and I really do think there should be a cinnamon sugar room scent. YUM!

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Today was an example in showing up. I was not feeling it at all. Exhausted and drained from a few rough nights, I just wanted to sleep - but I think it is important to show up for the team so I went and did the things and it was the right thing to do. Sometimes good to remember that. Just show up.

New gravitational-wave results from MeerKAT 📡 Reassuringly, like other pulsar timing arrays, they are seeing evidence for a signal (still at evidence for level, not at detection level) Interesting, their amplitude seems larger than others. Is it growing? arxiv.org/abs/2412.01153 🔭🧪⚛️
