Jackie Robinson changed Major League Baseball forever, but his legacy reaches far beyond the game. He was not only a barrier breaker on the field, but a committed voice for justice off of it. This 1957 photograph at Howard University, where he and my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., received honorary degrees, is a reminder that true greatness is measured not only by achievement, but by how we use our influence in service of others. On Jackie Robinson Day, I honor the courage, discipline, and conviction that made his life bigger than baseball. #JackieRobinson #MLK #HowardUniversity #JackieRobinsonDay

Jackie Robinson’s pioneering legacy still resonates throughout the world today. On the 79th anniversary of his Brooklyn Dodgers debut, we celebrate a Hall of Fame hero whose character and courage inspired generations of athletes to play ball.

Today we honor the legacy of Jackie Robinson, who debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers OTD in 1947. We celebrate his courage and determination, his brilliance on the baseball diamond, and his grace and dignity beyond the playing field. Jackie’s influence has spanned the generations. From the legends who followed, to the current greats, and the stars of tomorrow. We are all grateful for all he gave to our game. #Jackie42

just watched this lady’s video where she argues that the language surrounding marketing roles is going through a rebrand/process of masculinisation in order to make them sound new/data driven and “serious” for men

The astronauts. Their ride around the Moon. The Artemis II astronauts pose for a group photo after viewing their Orion spacecraft — which they named Integrity — in the well deck of USS John P. Murtha following their splashdown.

The Artemis II astronauts were all smiles on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown.

The Artemis II team did photography training and dry runs for moon pass-by with an inflatable moon. Victor Glover said these practice runs completely changed how he understood importance of the mission. Christina Koch wanted to “tell a story” and share the “awe and grandeur.”

“While spacewalking I realized something, I used to think I was scared of heights but now I know I was just scared of gravity.” ― Artemis II Astronaut Reid Wiseman

@cleanwithmike clean!

If I wanted to quit my job & replace my salary by Summer, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Set up a simple website with AI before the week is over. Not next month. Not after you "research more." This week.

@cmclymer @bennetthaselton and we don't start in caregiving roles as adults. We begin that work as children.

@bennetthaselton In fact, it would. There are plenty of great male chess players for boys to look up to. Not many women in top open tournament chess for girls to look up to. Girls perceive it's not a welcome environment for them. So, there's far less participation.

"How do you explain the lack of women among top chess players? Men just have natural ability in this area. That's not sexist to point out." No. That's not the case at all. And you're not gonna like the actual reason for the lack of women among top chess players. Every professional chess player has spent years constantly studying, playing, and traveling. By the time a player reaches the top tier of the chess world, it's pretty much what they've been doing most of their waking hours for many years. There's not a lot of time for much else. And who does the bulk of all caregiving in society? Women. Mothers. Sisters. Daughters. Being a professional chess player isn't incompatible with caregiving, per se, but it's definitely not easy finding a balance that works. Most men don't worry about this. Most women absolutely worry about this. There are male pro chess players who are adept caregivers and find a balance that works, but it's just not a problem men in chess have to deal with on the sheer scale of how women must negotiate that challenge. Women are few among top chess players because they don't benefit from social structures that allow the time and commitment over a long period to reach that level. It really is that simple. It's not about intelligence or aptitude. It's about gender norms in family and society not fitting well with the astonishing commitment required for top level competitive chess. Now you know.
