Both I and whichever Lego designer made the Women of NASA set appear to have had the same thought.
Closeup photo of the Lego set honoring Margaret Hamilton. An uneven stack of blue and white tiles echoes the stack of source code binders in the photo in OP’s post. A minifig of a young white woman with straight brown hair faces the stack, wearing the closest thing to a monochrome polyester outfit you can get when you’re a minifig. A board with formulas of some sort is in the background (i can’t see it very well, sorry).

"It could be at the current location in a different configuration, it could be a new location, it could be imagined in different ways." Decolonize, decentralize, revitalize, restore. Imagine a museum redesigned by the people who love it the most. We really could have nice things.
Asked whether the intent was to reopen a museum, Biemiller said: "I would hope so. That's the goal. I think we have not given up on that part of our mission. The Academy is research, it is [specimens and library] collections, and it is public engagement."

While she said it was "incumbent upon us to find places and ways" for the museum to continue, what form it would take has not been determined."It could be at the current location in a different configuration, it could be a new location, it could be imagined in different ways."

What's important, she said, was the
"fundamental goal to ensure that people have access to the natural world, can see these birds from North American or dinosaur bones and fossils the Academy scientists have collected and understand how they connect to the world."

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.

Cheers to @florilegia.bsky.social for the link & alt text.Watercolor and ink portrait of Carrie Fisher in the general style of a Catholic saint, except she’s flipping everyone off (sticking up her middle finger) as a benediction.

This is the first time I've heard that, and it contradicts the linked article (and just about everything else I've read). Are you saying the DC Guard were volunteers for this as well as the out of state ones?
"My initial reaction was just shock"

Trump first deployed the D.C. National Guard in August of 2025 — something he can do since the president controls the district's guard. Hundreds of guard members in the district were pulled from their civilian jobs and immediately called up.

"My very initial reaction was just, I guess, shock and feeling like this context and this situation just felt like a very authoritarian move that kind of felt uncharacteristic of something you would see in our country," said one member of the D.C. guard, adding that the reasoning behind the deployment contributed to the confusion.
