My dear friend Jaci died in childbirth last year. Her last tweets were a statement about the importance of abortion to her.
I’ve retweeted this 🧵before, and I probably will again, because I think they are words of profound wisdom and grace.

Oh wow 😮 Not sure if we’ve seen such an extensive ice shelf collapse in less than a season since Larsen B…
Complete collapse of East Antarctica's Conger Ice Shelf (~1200 sq. km) ~March 15, seen in combo of #Landsat and #MODIS imagery. Possible it hit its tipping point following the #Antarctic #AtmosphericRiver and heatwave too? #CongerIceShelf #Antarctica

WFH saves employees about 70 minutes a day on average. Most (about 60 minutes) from no commute, and the rest (about 10 minutes) from less preparation in the morning. About 1/2 of this saved time goes to working more and 1/2 to leisure/tasks, so employers and employees benefit.

I ❤️ this.
This is why representation matters.
When little girls and boys feel seen, see themselves in others, they know they can dream big and achieve great things they might have otherwise thought unreachable.
@EncantoMovie is a must-watch for kids and kids at heart.

For years, we’ve been answering the question: When will #NASAWebb launch? This morning, we answered that for the last time! Next up: Where is Webb? We’ve got an answer for that, too!
See where Webb is on its million mile journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse: webb.nasa.gov/whereiswebb

The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is a large infrared telescope with a 21.3 foot (6.5 meter) primary mirror. The observatory will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

I just want to say a little extra thank you to all the people who are squeamish about needles and got vaccinated over the past year anyway
