I am SO FUCKING glad it's Friday

in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement

Dr. Gladys West. 1930 to 2026.

Born on a Virginia farm during the Jim Crow era, Dr West became one of only four Black employees at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in 1956 and the second Black woman ever hired there.

The mathematician's calculations quietly became the backbone of GPS technology used by billions of people every single day. The world has navigated by her work for decades before it learned her name. That's the kind of legacy that doesn't need a spotlight to be real. It just is.

We honor Dr. West and the long line of Black women who built the future while the world looked the other way🤎

Rest in power, Dr. West. We see you now.

My grandmother (a mathematician and physicist herself, and the one who got me into science and engineering) told me about Dr. West when I was a young nerdling. She joked (half-seriously) "Her work was so important, we named a cardinal direction after her."

It *was* a joke meant to underline the importance of her work, yes, but I've chosen to believe it should also be a little bit true.
