I know entirely too much about space toilets for someone who doesn’t work in aerospace. I mostly post when I’m dog sitting.

The reboot did not fix the issue, but there are redundancies so we’re using this plane anyway. After the paperwork is filed.

It finally happened. The plane I’m on needed a reboot.

What the? It’s not like you are the only human on the planet that takes an SSRI with Wellbutrin.

I paid what I thought was an executive function failure tax, but it looks like the KTN lookup tool just wasn’t working this morning. It’s fine it’s fine everything is fine. 🙃

It’s weird to me that Warren and Ashtabula had tourists.

Somehow we taught my niblings to ask me for LEGO. I taught Nibling #2 that I would say no to expensive short-term requests. I think our good intentions created a monster. Nibling #2 asked for $130+ set for her birthday 7 months in advance. 😂 “I didn’t want you to say no at the last minute. 😂”

I twisted and bent down at the same time and that was enough to tweak something in my back. Favorite Human has made me lay down in the dark (because, according to him, getting a migraine on top of this would be awful) with a heating pad.

When I investigated the kitchen I found a pan with a scorched black sheet of parchment paper. I’m told the chicken he broiled was edible.

Me: “Do you smell a campfire?” Favorite Human: “There is no fire. Ignore the glowing hot pans on the stove.” Me: “WHAT?”

It would have been in the 90s. Smoking, drugs, and other factors were at play. It may not have been injectables. Not every person taking E is getting injections — even in 2026. There’s a reason why the community has so much information now.

I do not want more stones even if they are in another part of my body.

Folks, do not challenge May. Do not make eye contact. Do nothing that will call attention to yourself. May will duck you up. Just tiptoe past and hope for the best. Trust me on this.

Space toilets are funny but it’s a good way to get people thinking about just how involved space can be. Or how infrastructure that many of us take for granted isn’t accessible to all.

But seriously, he is genuinely amused that it brings me joy. And I’m happy to see that space toilet facts are bringing folks joy. I don’t do much (write, track, research, educate) these days about space toilets because my day job for the last few years has been vastly different.

Not all of them! SpaceX toilets can’t be used while docked to the station. At least 1 toilet on the ISS is not functional.

The brine is what’s left after they pull as much water out as possible. It probably goes out with the rest of the space trash.

Nooooooope. Last we checked it was 3 out of 4. It’s harder to verify if the Russian segment toilets are functional.

I’m being informed that it’s almost midnight and I have to stop posting about space toilets for the night. Place your bets now on whether my new coworkers are going to get an earful from me tomorrow.
