Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Letitia Chitty (d. #OTD in 1982) was a pioneering British structural engineer & mathematician. A master of stress analysis, she spent her career mathematically determining the "breaking points" of complex structures, ranging from #WWI combat aircraft to major international dams. #WomenInSTEM

A monochromatic sepia-toned photograph of British structural engineer and mathematician Letitia Chitty (July 15, 1897 – September 29, 1982), a premier pioneer of 20th-century stress analysis. Positioned in a front-facing, head-and-shoulders composition, she looks directly at the camera with a sober, neutral expression and tight lips. Her dark hair is parted neatly down the center and pulled back into a simple bun. She is dressed in a dark blazer or coat layered over a high-collared, patterned blouse or knit sweater visible at the neckline. The background consists of soft, textured drapery in warm, out-of-focus sepia tones. The tight framing captures her sharp, determined demeanor, evoking a serious and intellectually focused mood. The vintage composition highlights her immense historical significance as the first woman to graduate with first-class honors in Cambridge’s Mechanical Sciences Tripos.

A close-up photograph of the rugged, joyful countenance of American polar explorer Ann Bancroft (born September 29, 1955), the first woman to cross the ice to both the North and South Poles. Set against a stark, high-key backdrop of a vast, white Arctic or Antarctic ice expanse under an overcast, pale sky, she looks directly at the camera with a wide, radiant smile that crinkles her eyes. Her weather-beaten face is flushed pink from the intense polar cold. Her dark, graying hair is windblown and messy, held back by dark, reflective sunglasses resting atop her head. She wears heavy polar expedition gear, including a dark navy jacket with a thick, fluffy brown fur-trimmed hood framing her face, layered over a bright purple collar, a red knit undershirt, and a visible zipper. The composition centers on her resilient expression, conveying a triumphant, adventurous, and authentic mood that highlights her historical significance as a barrier-breaking explorer.

A black-and-white portrait of Dr. Margaret Allen (born 1948), the pioneering American cardiothoracic surgeon who became the first woman to perform a heart transplant and founded the heart transplant program at the University of Washington Medical Center. She is positioned in the center of the frame against a softly blurred, natural outdoor background of dense foliage or hedges. She wears a dark top over a light-colored, knit turtleneck collar that frames her neck. Her long, wavy hair is pulled back. She wears large, thin-rimmed circular aviator-style eyeglasses. Dr. Allen looks directly forward into the camera with a neutral, calm, and composed expression, conveying a sense of quiet determination, focus, and intellectual strength. The composition uses natural, soft lighting that minimizes harsh shadows on her face. The overall mood is serious, professional, and dignified, underscoring her historic significance as a trailblazer for women in medicine and surgery.

Constance Baker Motley's strategic legal mind fundamentally reshaped the legal landscape of desegregation. As the principal female attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, she was a leading legal architect of the #CivilRights movement. She died #OTD in 2005. 🧵

A black-and-white close-up portrait of Constance Baker Motley (September 14, 1921 – September 28, 2005), the trailblazing civil rights attorney and first Black woman appointed as a federal judge. Photographed against a plain, neutral background, she poses facing forward with her torso angled slightly to the right, looking just past the camera. She wears her dark hair styled in a voluminous, soft-curled bob with a side part. Her expression is warm and confident, marked by a slight, serene smile and direct, engaged eyes. She is dressed in her black judicial robes, featuring structured pleats down the front, accessorized with simple white button earrings and a delicate bead necklace peeking through the V-neckline. The composition uses soft, flattering lighting that highlights her features, creating a dignified, commanding, and historically significant mood that reflects her trailblazing legal legacy.

A composite black-and-white image features two historic photographs of Althea Neale Gibson (1927–2003), the trailblazing Black athlete who helped shatter racial barriers in professional sports. On the left, an action shot captures Gibson mid-match on a grass tennis court, charging forward with fierce intensity and physical prowess. She wears a classic, pristine white tennis dress with a pleated skirt billowing around her legs, paired with matching white socks and tennis shoes. Her face is focused in deep concentration as she extends her right arm back, gripping her racket tightly while her left arm balances her athletic frame. An out-of-focus crowd fills the stands in the background. On the right, a triumphant celebration portrait shows Gibson holding the iconic Venus Rosewater Dish after her historic victory at Wimbledon. Shrouded in a heavy white collared track jacket or robe, she beams with an enthusiastic, wide-toothed smile, her short, naturally textured hair neatly styled. In her left hand, she holds a massive, intricately detailed circular silver trophy plate facing the camera, while a massive, vibrant bouquet of celebratory flowers stands at her right hip. An older woman in a wide-brimmed hat smiles warmly from just behind her left shoulder amidst a blurring crowd. The overall mood shifts dynamically from intense, powerful athletic determination to proud, historic joy. This poignant layout encapsulates her barrier-breaking journey to becoming the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title.

A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering geophysicist and space physicist Marcia Neugebauer (born September 27, 1932) working at her desk during the mid-20th century. Sitting in an office setting, she leans forward slightly over her desk, looking directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and focused expression. She has short, bobbed light hair and wears a short-sleeved, collared white button-up blouse adorned with subtle vertical embroidered details down the front. In her right hand, she holds a pencil over large documents and charts with plotted scientific data curves spread out on the desk before her. To her right sits a large, vintage mechanical calculating machine with columns of buttons, characteristic of the 1960s computing era. The background features window blinds and office storage, creating an environment of rigorous research. The image captures the historical significance of a trailblazing woman in STEM whose work with these charts and calculations would confirm the existence of the solar wind via the Mariner 2 spacecraft.

A photo collage showcasing the legendary range of Dame Maggie Smith in four of her most memorable roles:

Top left: Maggie Smith as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, wearing a tall, pointed black witch's hat and dark textured robes with a high collar. A large ornate pendant hangs at her neck as she gazes forward with calm authority.

Top right: Maggie Smith as Miss Bowers in Death on the Nile (1978), dressed in a formal black tuxedo-style suit with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie. She adjusts her bow tie while looking intently ahead with a composed, slightly stern expression.

Bottom left: Maggie Smith as Dora Charleston in Murder by Death (1976), seated in an opulent interior with carved wooden details. She has glamorous, voluminous reddish-blonde curled hair, wears a light-colored chiffon scarf draped elegantly over her shoulders, with a serious, focused expression.

Bottom right: Maggie Smith as Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey, seated outdoors on a white garden bench surrounded by greenery. She wears an elegant wide-brimmed straw hat with a purple ribbon and flower accent, a burgundy velvet coat over lace, and delicately holds a cane while offering a subtle, wise smile.
