I wouldn't say "time is not linear" and "the big bang kinda started from a particle," but obviously I'm not a science communicator haha.
Not with that attitude!   :D

I prefer teaching through videogames. Way more fun to spend a decade cramming as much real science as possible into a game, just for practically no one to notice  ;D

I should have gone to the mountains. The comet just looks like a faint glow from my house. Thought it was a galaxy till I triple checked the location.

I don't really follow Physics Girl, I've seen a few videos and thought they were fine.

But this was pretty heartbreaking.

I saw a few twitter posts from her a while ago explaining how hard it was hitting her. Really sad to see her condition has worsened.

It's scary how bad it still gets for random people.

we formed a "pod" with this family so my son could still have a friend during the heart of isolation. I was like extra super careful not to get covid because I was worried I'd be (feel) responsible for killing them if I got sick.   

they have a lot of the high risk factors.  black. obese.  chrones. 

now that the dad got sick and looks to be at risk of dying part of me is relieved I wasn't the reason he got sick.  ..which makes me feel like shame.

I really wish people would take even 1% of their weird anger towards satellites and push to decrease light pollution. It's so easy and cheap to prevent yet so few care.

Was reminded of that Spiderman isn't using ray tracing post. "Because real light doesn't allow you to see behind things."

Apparently there is a tik tok trend of people finding out otherwise.
