Dr. Kristy

I love how we have conditioned people to automatically say "thank you" whenever they are handed something that my students thank me for giving them an exam. 😏

gonna need some ointment for those burns

There are MULTIPLE GALLERIES?!?!!!!!! 😍😍😍

DEFINITELY planning to intro myself as "Harbinger of Astronomy" at my next planetarium show.

The perfect #caturday post doesn't exi--

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

First Dolly and now Tim Curry?!!! GODDAMMIT. 😰

Every word of this is excellent. Pluto-is-a-planet fans haven't moved beyond fifth grade science in the same way as sex/gender-is-a-binary folks.

IT ME.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

No thanks!!!

I HAVE FORGOTTEN YOU AND THE FIELDS OF GOLD

Whyyyy is the World Health Organization's website so difficult to navigate??? I need them to be better now that the CDC is compromised. (cmon worm, help us out and eat the rest of that fucker's brain)

TAKE THIS COURSE Y'ALL. I'd say about 80% of what I present in a typical Planetarium show, I learned from Dr. Brown!! (still wishing I could teach like him! He's extremely good at what he does!)

Love this graphical abstract for "The Ascent of Miniproteins" pubs.acs.org/doi/ful...

ALSO ALSO!!!

ALSO:

Saw this on Tumblr, had to hunt down the original. YES THIS TIMES ELEVENTY BILLION

YESSSSS a sign that summer is here!! (the hummingbirds agree.) #BloomScrolling

TODAY'S LESSON:

CO-SIGNED!!

I love my Hanklerfish so much!! He will bring so much joy and whimsy to my office 🧡🩵 @hankgreen.bsky.social

shut up and take my money dot gif

Occasionally the Universe says, "y’all are working too hard and need a break. Time to break Canvas for a bit."

🤯🤯

stop editing and post it omg *\o/* *\o/* *\o/* Chapter 4 of 4!

Saw Project Hail Mary again!! Amaze amaze amaze. need blu-ray asap. My one quibble remains: "Ryland Grace" is in no way the name of a white dude. So I'm imagining John Boyega or Chiwetel Ejiofor in the role and salivating. (Gosling did great and prolly the film isn't made w/o him, but STILL.)

Please enjoy this thread’s story about a series of reshoots to the seaQuest DSV premiere, and how they add up to the “Stark holds a goblet” scene we all cherish

a-fucking-men.

AAAAAAAAA STILL CANT QUITE BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING

This Spring Break has been crazy productive, in many ways. One more chapter to goooooo

So endlessly grateful to @wskrs.bsky.social for obtaining AND sharing NEW SEAQUEST CONTENT!!! I think I might need a cigarette after reading it...and season 3 isn't even my jam! (absolutely crushed that we never got to witness Michael York performing that.)

TFW your fic is a mile long 🫠

And we have a painful Chapter Two! I definitely deserve a cookie. 😰

Just did a "Women in STEM" show in the Planetarium about hydrothermal vents and my grad school deep sea research adventure! Such amazing memories. DAMN I want to dive again in Alvin SO BAD. Where do I apply for a fellowship to research and write volume 2 of _Water Baby_???

Chapter 2 finally rough-drafted, and thank goodness. That was excruciating, but the only way out was through. A couple more days to percolate and polish...

Happy Ides of March!! the very holiest of days over on Tumblr. I love those nerds and everyone in this bar. www.tumblr.com/prophetkrist... www.tumblr.com/prophetkrist...

Chapter 1 is SO CLOSE. Been writing snippets of Chapter 3 today (in between grading Micro HW) rather than finishing it (oops). (the Muse gives me what she gives me). Chapter 2 is going to be realllllly hard (visiting my beloved in Chaodai captivity). Pray for me...
