Flying while trans: still unbelievably horrible #1yrago

Cary Gabriel Costello is a trans-man in Milwaukee. Two-thirds of the time when he flies, the TSA has a complete freakout over the “anomalies” his body displays on the full-body scanner.

Costello recounts the thousand humiliations, threats, indignities and discriminations he and his wife (also a trans person) face when flying, despite the TSA’s promise of “no gender-based discrimination.” The new policy of making full body scans mandatory if a TSA agent doesn’t like you only makes this worse. Much, much worse.

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

70 seconds over 9 years and 3 billion miles…

…I just… Damn 

Launch to Pluto flyby for New Horizons took 3,580 days, and she was off by 70 seconds. That’s like… That’s an error of 0.000000226%.

That’s fucking insane.

That’s not even a rounding error!

Thank you for putting words & numbers to my awe of her precision.

The largest cat in NYC, and possibly the world, is a 28 lb., 4-foot-long Maine Coon named Samson. He’s bigger than most bobcats (and most toddlers), and every day he likes to sit on his owner’s chest first thing in the morning. Source Source 2

Because most of us spend the majority of our time indoors, NASA conducted a Clean Air Study to determine which common houseplants are the best for filtering harmful toxins like ammonia and formaldehyde from the air.
