The earth is just spinning through infinite darkness at 67,000 miles per hour and somehow it also made blueberries?? And laughing?? And the feeling of sun on your face?? What is this place. What a an absolute gift.

@RickShag Dogs.

Hey so, I'm in the market for compelling reasons to live, anybody got one?

@TheRealThelmaJ1 In 20 years her kids will be no contact. Probably less.

This is when you put a night light in and give the child comfort. These people are smug assholes and their ideas of everything are all throwbacks to the worst ideas of my generation and before. I feel bad for their children.

Happy Earth Day!

@Tanyaelisabeth or hear me out...do what is best for you.

As someone who has both been married without kids and married with kids This stuff gets old so quick Every single couple who has children has also done the no kid lifestyle and they would tell you that if you can, have children. No movie or game night will ever compare. It’s so worth it.

Wait, is that @jonstewart

I want a moon mission once per month for my mental health. It’s admittedly more expensive than the Wellbutrin, but also much more effective.

Sorry I can text or chat until after 9pm tonight. I’ll be holding my breath until then.

@LeahCheshier I said to my husband that I missed seeing you in yesterday’s broadcast. Thank you for an amazing week

My mom: “I’ve gotten nothing done this week. I watched your coverage all day every day.” “I have become quite fond of these astronauts, especially Christina, and I will be so glad when they're home and I can breathe a sigh of relief. 😮‍💨” 🥺

spent friday tracking down 7K bot requests hammering a client's site in minutes. turns out it was coming from inside the house. @LiquidWeb told me it was an 'external source.' sir that IP is in your ASN. After asking them to identify the abuse, they said they'd open a ticket 👀

@Frankster1044 @NASAAdmin @tropicalupdate @NASA So you think NASA is going to reclassify Pluto because of this letter?

@dogmomasf @NASAAdmin @tropicalupdate @NASA Mel, that wonderful child can have all the joy that the world provides and her parents allow. You know what she shouldn't be able to do? Classify celestial objects. She wrote a letter to NASA, had it "published" on X, and had NASA respond. What else would you suggest?

Dear @NASA. From 10 year old Kaela. She is mailing to you today. Too cute not to post. She and her family are friends of ours. #bringplutoback

@Frankster1044 @NASAAdmin @tropicalupdate @NASA Can you allow a child to have some fucking joy Frank?

@NASAAdmin @tropicalupdate @NASA Classifying celestial objects based on requests from 10 year-olds is no way run a space agency. My 10 year-old thinks that rocket fuel pollutes the environment and believes that rockets should be propelled by harnessing cow farts. I told him I don't think that would work.

@MrsCMFrancis As someone with severe eczema, go to a dermatologist if you can.

I’m at the point where I simply want to cry about this. I’m using the toxic tar shampoo, taking expensive pro-biotics, drinking homemade bone broth on an empty stomach, putting hydrocortisone cream on it….and still it’s there. All the time. What am I supposed to do???

Hi! I’m Rise! About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.) Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

@jorgehgta22 hit play and then send everyone else back to the lobby

Que se hace en fortnite 2026? Literalmente entro a la lobby, bailo y cierro el juego para jugar otra cosa

@anactualwalnut Yes, Walnut, a pastry.

Sorry to be a food shamer but something that is actually really insane to me as someone who doesn’t even diet are the people who believe a pastry is breakfast. You fr just had a scone or a cinnamon roll or a coffee cake to start your day. Zero protein whatsoever. Nothing. Just a pastry.

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home. Nothing in that system is standing still. The Moon is moving. The Earth is moving. Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here. Adjust here. Come back here. And unlike nepa light, it infact works. There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side. I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything. But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

@svershbow Cheese makes me feel better too!

People are scary, but cheese is good. She's so wise!

If we're going to start a nuclear war, do I really need to write this blog post?

@stichedstars you are not alone. We are out here. My husband and I still mask.

I’m literally the only person I know who masks and it’s so incredibly isolating
