I hit a major personal milestone this week. The suite of software systems I have been helping to develop @NASA for @NASAArtemis were used in an all-up field simulation. We've been heads down for a year leading up to this event. It was a great success! images.nasa.gov/details/jsc2…

This is very cool. The remains of a 1,000-year-old house were discovered during the development of a Lidl in Dublin, Ireland. So they've preserved it and shoppers can check it out via a glass floor.

This is how I, a 45-year-old white woman and mother of 6, currently at her peak Karen power, went from assuming police work was a necessary part of functional communities, to becoming a passionate advocate for #abolishthepolice #defundthepolice, over the course of one week. 1/x

I found this very inspiring, Rahul Dubey of DC who sheltered ~50 protestors on #SwannStreet last night, after emerging, gave this interview to @WUSA9 and @slazo88 “Our flag is hanging by a string” #2020Protests #savejenny #1stAmendment #compassion

Rahul saved lives last night. He ended this with an inspirational speech about not giving up and keeping up the peaceful fight. What a guy. Thank you Rahul. #SwannStreet #savejenny

“Wow. Cops killed a black man. Look at this video, he was begging for his life and they were laughing." "That's terrible. But fortunately, they can be prosecuted for murder. "Oh, my. You're new to America, aren't you? The prosecutor will decline to indict." "What? Why?"

As much as I am disheartened by the death of George Flyod, dealing with racism is a daily reality for me & many black people in Canada. It's even more frustrating when it shows up where you least expect it - well said @VanJones68 cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/29…

Van Jones: It’s not the racists we have to worry about | CNN

CNN’s Van Jones says that the black community is tired of hearing empty promises of change and that they should be more worried about “the White Liberal Hillary Clinton supporter” than a white racist.
