Let your faith die Bring your wonder Yes you are only one No it is not enough But if you lift your eyes I am your brother And this is all we need And this is where we start This is the day we greet This is the day no other — Vienna Teng

Want to end gerrymandering? Are you sick of Congress not doing their job? Want Representatives who are actually accountable to and better reflect the demographics of their constituents? Ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment. We would go from 435 reps to a minimum of 6,629 - 1 per 50,000. It’s been waiting since 1789. 12 states have ratified. We need 27 more.

@RadioAnarchy17 They’re awesome. I believe it would be a better world if more watch them, and take on the “yes” attitude. I’m gonna do my best to do more there. ☺️

@UnrealAllan YesTheory is one of the few things I watch on YouTube.

So cool to see @AnnaCramling taking a @YesTheory adventure! #SeekDiscomfort #TalkToStrangers youtu.be/2Qrxj5N_eYE?si…

@AaronWorthing Poor word choice, as my 10th grade English teacher would say…

@UnrealAllan Probably they mean like forced by circumstances

Hopefully “forced” isn’t accurate

Good morning NYC! Thank you @cunardline and #QueenMary2 #QM2 for a wonderful crossing. And thanks also for giving my dad the trip of a lifetime, as he returns home after a voyage lasting 109 days around the world! 🛳️🇺🇸🇬🇧🌎🌍🌏

@RadioAnarchy17 Very much so. Enlightening to return from Europe with zero jet lag 😆 My dad did the full world cruise, and it’s been wonderful to join him for the last 8 days of 108!

@UnrealAllan Seems like such a relaxing trip

Last pics from #QM2 looking at the sea - early arrival (pre-dawn) in NYC tomorrow.

The winding Grand Canyon is simply magical viewed from the @Space_Station. Sometimes these images reverse themselves on me, like the old magic eye posters from the ‘90s. Fondly reminiscing about my hiking and exploring adventures at @GrandCanyonNPS. You can see the Grand Canyon Village at the right edge of the last photo. Just as my mother always says, nothing beats nature.

So beautiful with calm seas this morning as we head almost due west at ~19 kts. #QM2

The Angel Oak in Charleston, South Carolina.

Walked the beasts on the mean streets of downtown DC around 4:45 AM. They are still adjusting.

The Serval's reaction to touching ice for the first time is just too cute.

Another gorgeous day at sea aboard #QM2 - seas are a bit higher and the ship’s motion is quite pronounced standing astern. Heading west-southwest @ ~19kts.

Artemis III hardware is taking over at @nasakennedy! The SLS core stage for the mission arrived via barge this week - but segments of the twin solid rocket boosters began making their arrival on April 13. Read about these recent arrivals: go.nasa.gov/3QJkUXi

Pano taken from #QM2 Deck 13 forward, starboard side. Wind is coming out of the southwest, so holding my phone steady was a challenge with what I estimate to be a ~35kt continuous wind.

@jimgeraghty 90% of Spirit’s aircraft were leased, not owned (that was one of their problems - no assets) and the lessors will likely send them rapidly to ULCC airlines in Asia, where the Spirit cabin configuration won’t be a problem.

Spirit had 125 Airbus A320s operating as of February. Those planes won’t remain idle forever; some other airline is going to buy them and probably get them at a bargain price. The majority of those 17,000 laid-off pilots, flight crew, and desk agents will get hired by other airlines eventually. This situation really stinks for those laid-off employees, but their company couldn’t figure out how to get more money coming in the door than the amount of money going out the door. It happens to businesses all the time.
