Happy Orthodox Easter!! It wasn’t a very traditionally productive day but I enjoyed taking some time to relax and read, I re-watched one of my favourite episodes of the Cosmos: Possible Worlds (ep. 10 "A Tale of Two Atoms"), I highly recommend it if you love science and of course Dr. deGrasse Tyson is amazing! I also made an attempt to read The great Gatsby, I have tried trice so far but it never seems to stick... Kudos <3

I kept writing to his publicist

complaining about how little I knew about science, and finally, deGrasse Tyson showed up at my house.

I guess they’re right: The squeaky wheel really does get deGrasse!

Neil deGrasse Tyson and the Persistence of the Bad Male Apology

Advocates for survivors of sexual assault say statements like Tyson's are rarely about apologizing to alleged victims.

Such is the state of the male apology, a phenomenon that's emerged with the rise of the #MeToo movement. According to its critics, the male apology—by which I mean, very specifically, men's response to allegations of misconduct—is characterized, first and foremost, by a lack of any genuine remorse.

Last year, multiple outlets published year-end roundups of the worst apologies of 2017, and, by way of summary, Vox writer Anna T. Donahue called the year's male apologies an "utter failure." Among those to receive mention in these critiques was Louis CK, who, while admitting that his accusers were telling the truth, said the source of his power over them was derived from their admiration from him. Kevin Spacey used his public statement of apology to come out as a gay man. Harvey Weinstein said he came of age during a different time, when "all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different." Chef and restaurateur Mario Batali signed off his apology, which he sent in an email newsletter, with the suggestion that his readers try his recipe for pizza dough cinnamon rolls.

"The intention of these public statements is never to apologize to the victim," Sage Carson, an advocate from sexual assault survivor advocacy group Know Your IX, tells Broadly. "It's always to explain to the world why they should be forgiven or why they're in the right."

The trend persists, and without any apparent improvements, according to Carson. She notes that Tyson's apology shares some noticeable qualities with its antecedents. Like CK and Batali, Carson says, Tyson finds opportunities to tout his achievements. He talks about his "professional history with the demotion of Pluto" when addressing the groping allegation against him, and mentions the "grueling adventure-marathon" that was finishing astrophysics graduate school. And then he uses these successes, Carson adds, to tear down his alleged victims, whom he seemingly blames for his alleged indiscretions.
