the poem i never wanted to write - scott parkinson - day 30
it puts me in that chill wind again
amid stone and grass and dying light,
little suspecting the wall of refutation
my arguments would run against,
rules of a game always set by you,
sex as something negotiated
on terms amenable only to yourself,
contempt that weighs so heavy
in the corners of your eyes,
disdain that’s always been
within the gutters of your smile,
even in the moments of our greatest bliss.
it’s not a poem for dwelling on the ways i wish
i’d taken better care of you so let me say
i wish you’d taken better care of me.
i wish you’d known this much at least,
because you were always very good
at knowing things i didn’t,
i wish you’d known i don't believe
there’s anyone can love me
if i’m not extraordinary.

Gothamfc needs a forward who can finish!!
Sorry but Purce and Ify need to step up or ship out. Seriously!
They can’t seem to finish the simplest of goals. They are both fumbling and stumbling in front of the box, even when the ball is perfectly placed in front of them and right at their feet!!
Come on guys! Lift your game!! Or move aside for someone who can do the job

things I won’t know in the next pandemic - scott parkinson - day 29
the contemplation
of your face
through math
the welcome text
the late sun splash
of our shared ocean
the great green canopy
of our ascent
the rutting groove
of our desire
the dark path
back to the worst
place in me
where my least love
resides a plant
curling browning
leaves that fall
each day I don’t
get what I want
each day the orbit
of your sun
turns more and more
away from me
your eyes at last
the most Siberian day
of January
i won’t be ignorant
of the looser knots
around conviction
around my own yes
around mistaking
your own maybe
around the fantasies
of that young boy
that live within
the very seams
and patches
of my want
i won’t actually
live or die
by the lack
or by the having
of any attention
from you
whatsoever
in fact
(and this is still
the hardest part)
i won’t know you
at all

LaRue Burbank, mathematician and computer, is just one of the many women who were instrumental to NASA missions.
4 Little Known Women Who Made Huge Contributions to NASA
Women have always played a significant role at NASA and its predecessor NACA, although for much of the agency’s history, they received neither the praise nor recognition that their contributions deserved. To celebrate Women’s History Month – and properly highlight some of the little-known women-led accomplishments of NASA’s early history – our archivists gathered the stories of four women whose work was critical to NASA’s success and paved the way for future generations.
LaRue Burbank: One of the Women Who Helped Land a Man on the Moon
LaRue Burbank was a trailblazing mathematician at NASA. Hired in 1954 at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (now NASA’s Langley Research Center), she, like many other young women at NACA, the predecessor to NASA, had a bachelor's degree in mathematics. But unlike most, she also had a physics degree. For the next four years, she worked as a "human computer," conducting complex data analyses for engineers using calculators, slide rules, and other instruments. After NASA's founding, she continued this vital work for Project Mercury.
In 1962, she transferred to the newly established Manned Spacecraft Center (now NASA’s Johnson Space Center) in Houston, becoming one of the few female professionals and managers there. Her expertise in electronics engineering led her to develop critical display systems used by flight controllers in Mission Control to monitor spacecraft during missions. Her work on the Apollo missions was vital to achieving President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon.
Eilene Galloway: How NASA became… NASA
Eilene Galloway wasn't a NASA employee, but she played a huge role in its very creation. In 1957, after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, Senator Richard Russell Jr. called on Galloway, an expert on the Atomic Energy Act, to write a report on the U.S. response to the space race. Initially, legislators aimed to essentially re-write the Atomic Energy Act to handle the U.S. space goals. However, Galloway argued that the existing military framework wouldn't suffice – a new agency was needed to oversee both military and civilian aspects of space exploration. This included not just defense, but also meteorology, communications, and international cooperation.
Her work on the National Aeronautics and Space Act ensured NASA had the power to accomplish all these goals, without limitations from the Department of Defense or restrictions on international agreements. Galloway is even to thank for the name "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", as initially NASA was to be called “National Aeronautics and Space Agency” which was deemed to not carry enough weight and status for the wide-ranging role that NASA was to fill.
Barbara Scott: The “Star Trek Nerd” Who Led Our Understanding of the Stars
A self-described "Star Trek nerd," Barbara Scott's passion for space wasn't steered toward engineering by her guidance counselor. But that didn't stop her! Fueled by her love of math and computer science, she landed at Goddard Spaceflight Center in 1977. One of the first women working on flight software, Barbara's coding skills became instrumental on missions like the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Thermal Canister Experiment on the Space Shuttle's STS-3. For the final decade of her impressive career, Scott managed the flight software for the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, a testament to her dedication to space exploration.
Dr. Claire Parkinson: An Early Pioneer in Climate Science Whose Work is Still Saving Lives
Dr. Claire Parkinson's love of math blossomed into a passion for climate science. Inspired by the Moon landing, and the fight for civil rights, she pursued a graduate degree in climatology. In 1978, her talents landed her at Goddard, where she continued her research on sea ice modeling. But Parkinson's impact goes beyond theory. She began analyzing satellite data, leading to a groundbreaking discovery: a decline in Arctic sea ice coverage between 1973 and 1987. This critical finding caught the attention of Senator Al Gore, highlighting the urgency of climate change.
Parkinson's leadership extended beyond research. As Project Scientist for the Aqua satellite, she championed making its data freely available. This real-time information has benefitted countless projects, from wildfire management to weather forecasting, even aiding in monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Parkinson's dedication to understanding sea ice patterns and the impact of climate change continues to be a valuable resource for our planet.

On the road again and other things of interest
On the road again and other things of interest
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet planeDon’t know when I’ll be back again
John Denver
Next week, Mr. Twitchy and I will be leaving for a 3 week vacation. This will be our second major trip since the Pandemic began. Last December, we went to Antarctica for 2 weeks. It still feels odd to travel, with COVID still lurking about, but we need to have some semblance of normalcy in our lives again.
When…
