“Not my fault.”

Yes, you are entirely blameless. Good for you!

Not my fault.

See, I was out at BlogHer having all kinds of fun and all kinds of cringing horror and here you all are, talking my kind of talk.

Thanks for that.

There ARE very, very few resources or references out there to the women who have contributed to NASA’s space program. I’m out there trying to change that, both with the blog and a new research project, a series of oral histories with the women who have made the planetary science missions work. Excerpts will be posted for discussion at the Women in Planetary Science blog — so thanks for linking!

We will have succeeded when tales of women succeeding in science are not exemplary, but commonplace.

I would imagine it is pretty important to children who are trapped in cars. I expected someone to use Tang as their example if they were going to try and say that my point is not valid. Or athletic shoes. Or scratch resistant lenses.

Good technology like MRI, CAT, freeze dried foods, solar power, fire retardant materials, alternate water purification systems….all kinds of stuff. Probably would have yielded more if all groups were allowed to participate.

Sophie: Hi Other Sophie! I was quite confused to see your comment, had to do a little double-take to remember if it was me or not. But clearly no, unless I’ve been taking beautiful photos in my sleep. I’ll comment with a different name in future so I don’t infringe your copyright.

YES!!! Me too, Twisty Spinster-type! James T(estosterone) Kirk runs around saving the universe with a little green alien nookie on the side, while Uhura’s stuck sitting there at her switchboard thingy like Ma Bell, circa 2250!

Regarding that binary gender mandate, apparently
Intergalactic = good thing.
Intersex = bad thing.

I don’t know if your TV watching ever includes Kathy Griffin’s show, but in the new episode, she finds out what the “I” in LGBTQI stands for. A most excellent development.

“Binary gender mandate” be damned!

(This Texan in California is most pleased to have stumbled upon your blog. Things like feistiness and sense — whether it refers to the common kind or a sense of humor — are in short supply out here.)

I don’t know. Could be. The recall notice said the computer needed to be reprogrammed. What that means is anyone’s guess? OTOH, I did know that something was wrong with the car, but they wouldn’t listen because of that whole I-a-woman thing I guess. LOL.
