Not sure I trust this new pizza shop, even though it is conveniently located in my living room, and I really should support a business run by my 4yo.

As someone who has spoken out about harassment before, at no point did I ever feel safe doing so and I remain scared in perpetuity for having done so. (And saddened that it did not seem to matter much.)

Please believe those who speak out. It isn't easy, has poor results, and takes real bravery.

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

Sometimes I think about how many girls I have met who've told me they want to be astronauts after reading The Countdown Conspiracy, which features a girl astronaut training for Mars, but is of course fiction.

How many girls must now be inspired by *real life* moon astronaut Christina Koch? 🥹

Isn’t it something how this is the default response in every industry, every subculture, every setting, across the political spectrum

I love that amidst all of this, the commander of the Artemis II mission, astronaut Reid Wiseman, made sure to carry honorary 5th member of the crew, Zero G Indicator Rise, off the Integrity and onto the USS Murtha.

If a kid you know is excited about the Artemis mission, maybe they would be interested in my middle grade novel, THE COUNTDOWN CONSPIRACY!

A near-future, science-accurate space program thriller about kids training to go to Mars, published by HarperCollins Children's. #KidLit #MG #Artemis

Anyone else wake up this morning and immediately get teary because we went to the freaking moon and came back safely?

I am still overcome.

Goodness.

I miss my 24/7 space show 🥲

What an amazing week filled with science, space, and art! Taking a few much needed days off, but I plan to make a couple more Artemis minis before I release them next month 🫶

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me

"LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts ....

This one is worth it.

First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

Grateful, relieved, inspired, and honestly... excited!

What an unexpected (but welcome) set of emotions. ❤️

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

listening to the recap of how the extraction went and it just truly feels like no group of four people in the history of science have ever had better vibes

In my head I've been overlaying my own epic instrumental soundtrack over this whole event, heavy on the brass and percussion, obviously. (Some strings for the orchestral swells.)

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH
