zero-gravity indicators are SO cute

A Snoopy plush toy wearing a bright orange NASA astronaut suit floats inside a spacecraft. The suit features blue trim, mission patches, and black-and-white boots. Cables, equipment, and white interior panels surround the floating plush.

Rise, the Artemis II zero-g indicator. A small, round plush toy with a smiling face, rosy cheeks, and a blue-and-green Earth design on top. It wears a dark blue cap decorated with yellow stars and embroidered space-themed details. People are blurred in the background.

A small, brown crocheted dragon floats in front of a spacecraft window, its legs and arms stretched outward. Beyond the window, Earth's curved horizon, blue atmosphere, and swirling white clouds fill the background.

A colorful crocheted planet floats in front of a spacecraft window overlooking Earth. The round plush features spiraling patterns of green, blue, purple, and yellow yarn, with several smaller crocheted objects attached around it. Earth's blue-and-white surface is visible through the window behind it.

Vibrate a shallow pool at just the right frequency and the surface erupts into geometric Faraday waves, a resonance trick physicists have studied since 1831.

Margaret Knight (1838 – 1914) was the American inventor of a machine to produce flat-bottomed paper bags. A man, Charles Annan, stole her design and patented it, claiming that "she could not possibly understand the mechanical complexities of the machine", but she sued him and won. #CelebratingWomen

I don’t regret locking down my credit report with the three US credit reporting agencies. I regret giving Experian an email address I care about. They send me at least 2 emails Every. Day. Sheesh.

Funny story: Dog’s new license came in, so I took off her collar to switch out the tags. New tag isn’t identical, so the collar makes a slightly different noise. I put the collar back on her, and she kinda freezes with her ears all wonky at the new noise.

I feel like there should be better/clearer warnings on household chemicals. My mother-in-law just cleaned up a big spill of barkeeper’s friend powder with her bare hands. I would have been wearing a mask/goggles/gloves.

I e wanted to see these wild canids since I was a little girl, decades ago. These are at the Portland zoo, but I teared up a bit seeing them. I hope they’re reasonably happy there. Their wild brethren are in a tough spot.

Spotted in #Culross tonight Evening strolls in this gorgeous little village never disappoint. These deep red #roses climbing up a blue trellis, set against stone walls and soft light from an old lantern — it’s like stepping into a storybook. #scotland #historicscotland #schottland #photohour

A cluster of deep red roses climbing a blue trellis fixed to a stone wall of a traditional cottage in Culross, Scotland. A vintage-style lantern hangs above the flowers, and more greenery trails along the building. The background is softly blurred, hinting at a quiet village street in the evening light.

Good morning!☕️✌️

My therapist told me "write letters to the people you hate and burn them."

Dude that, but now I don't know what to do with letters.
