Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

I am holding on tightly to these words because this week has felt like a year. The moment demands the wisdom of ancestors.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.bsky.social
Panel 1.

A quote in a starry sky:

“We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde”

Below, people are lying in the gutter. One is looking through a telescope.

Panel 2.

“Guys, astronomy is amazing.” Says the figure with a telescope  ”You should all give it a try.” To which others reply “Sure. Why not?”.

Panel 3.

Now the quote reads:

“We are all in the gutter but we are looking at the stars.”

All the people are looking through telescopes.

Panel 4.

“This is great! Apart from being in the gutter.” Says one of the people. Another replies ”Let’s go to the observatory!” and leads the way.

Panel 5.

The quote now reads:

“We are all looking at the stars but some of us are in the gutter.”

Everyone is in the observatory except two figures who lie in the gutter looking up through their telescopes.

Panel 6.

The original telescope bearer leans out of the window and asks “Why are you guys still in the gutter?” and they reply “We don’t like too much change”.

Take pity on hardworking IT/AV folks; at least get us a minimal deck so we can test fonts, animations, embedded vids…. we totally understand last-minute editing but you’d be amazed at how often we help prevent issues, if we have lead time to test.

Physicists be like:
