92% of school meal programs are facing supply chain & labor challenges, but #childnutrition waivers that have helped are set to expire on June 30. @JohnCornyn @SenTedCruz, please pass the bipartisan Support Kids Not Red Tape Act to #KeepKidsFed this summer and beyond.

@ProfJasmine This American Life's most recent episode is about the electoral maps in Ohio (thisamericanlife.org/784/mapmaker) as is this New Yorker article: newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
Folks in Ohio voted to make maps representative, but political tactics so far have kept that from coming to fruition.

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

Together, @goshcommunity has come a long way in advancing #openhardware for science in the last 5 years. In this session, we surfaced recommendations from >50 unconference sessions at #GOSH2022 and suggested four as collective community projects that we could achieve in 2 years.
GOSH@GOSHCommunity
An important moment: time to revisit @GOSHCommunity Roadmap, originally written in 2017, adding the insights from #GOSH2022 sessions.
