Some achieve Skywalker

And others have Skywalkers thrust upon them

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. 

We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old. 

An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.

Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.

And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.

As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.

With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020 

May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

(At Plantmuffin head quarters)

Harry Potter Content: *bursts through the door*

Marvel Content: Yes soldier?

Harry Potter Content: We’re dropping like flies sir. We’ve already lost lgbtq+ content, we can’t last much longer!

Star Wars Content: We have to try! We can’t let them take over!

Marvel Content: No son, I think it’s time we accepted our fate.

Harry Potter Content: Sir?

Marvel Content: Think how many we have lost. Doctor Who Content. Lgbtq+ Content. Ninjago Content is in critical condition. The shitposts are abandoning rank, we have to give up.

Star Wars Content: Are you sure sir?

Marvel Content: *looks at Harry Potter Content, then Star Wars Content*

Marvel Content: Star Wars, you’re right. We have to give it one last try. This ship is sinking, we may as well go down fighting.

Harry Potter Content: *wipes a tear* To freedom.

Marvel and Star Wars Content: TO FREEDOM!

*many hours later*

The battle field is littered with dead posts. Long gone head canons and fanfics are scattered about. Most of those who survived ran away. Those who stayed are shouting the messages of their fandoms, but it is too loud in the camp, and too few shout. In the main encampment, the victorious Thunderbirds army sits. 

Thunderbirds Content: We have claimed this blog as ours. As I am gracious, I shall allow the odd post from the other fandoms, but this blog is mostly going to be Thunderbirds, let’s be real guys. 

Seriously.

Thunderbirds has taken over my life. I still enjoy other things, and I still will be reblogging stuff about it, but not on the same scale as before. If you’re sick of the thunderbirds content, or you followed me for something else and you’re not seeing it anymore: feel free to unfollow me. I’m not going to harass you, and you don’t need to give me an explanation. That is all. 

(May I stress: this blog isn’t going 100% Thunderbirds, I am still posting/reblogging other stuff. But reality is is that it is mostly Thunderbirds content. If you’re cool with this, feel free to stick around. I’m just trying to let people know that I don’t care if you unfollow me because you’re not a Thundernerd. Stay fresh cheese bags)

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

A big Happy Birthday and a couple of doodles directed at the lovely @kellyfhaycock who is one of the nicest, kindest people I have ever had the fortune to know. I think Firefighter Phoe (Kelly’s RP OC) and Scout Scotty (from her fic Merit) speak for themselves, but I hope you have a super great day with lots of cake and nice birthday things <33 xx
