Thank You For Voting, Tumblr!

Take a moment and recognize the incredible contribution you made to your community and your country by voting in the midterm elections earlier this week. You exercised your right to vote and you made your voice heard. That is no small feat.

The results of the election may have left some of you disappointed, but we wanted to point out just how much new diversity and representation people like you voted into office. Our leaders should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, and this year you elected a whole bunch of firsts:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing New York’s 14th Congressional District, becomes the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress.

Rashida Tlaib, Michigan, is the first Muslim woman to be elected into Congress. 

Ilhan Omar, Minnesota, is the first Somali American to be elected in Congress.

Ayanna Pressley becomes Massachusetts’ first Black Congresswoman.

Jared Polis, Colorado, is the first openly gay man elected governor in the United States.

Sharice Davids becomes one of the first Native American and openly lesbian woman to be elected to Congress.

Deb Haaland is also one of the first Native American women elected to Congress.

Letitia James becomes the first woman in New York to be elected as Attorney General, the first African-American woman to be elected statewide office, and the first Black person to serve as Attorney General.

Jahana Hayes is the first Black woman to represent Connecticut in Congress.

Massachusetts voted to maintain its anti-discrimination law protecting trans and nonbinary people.

Florida passes Amendment 4, which restores voting rights to 1.4 million ex-felons who have completed their sentences.

This was all done by you. You made these monumental changes happen with the power of your vote.

Let’s remember: it isn’t over. Voting isn’t the end. Continue to volunteer in your communities and attend events to keep your community in check. Remember that change rarely comes without action. Take action.

Thank you, Tumblr.

Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, 1991. With Park Overall trying to get a word in edgewise, good luck with that… (33 minutes)

One of the most insane nights ever on late-night television and a father-and-son reunion of the Mork & Mindy stars. Robin is promoting his appearances in movies Hook and The Fisher King, Jonathan is speaking about his winning an Emmy (which he didn’t attend, them ribs were too good) for his role in one of my favorite TV shows, Davis Rules.

5 Questions from a Year of Education on the International Space Station

image

This year, we’re celebrating a Year of Education on the Station as astronauts and former teachers Joe Acaba and Ricky Arnold have made the International Space Station their home. While aboard, they have been sharing their love of science, technology, engineering and math, along with their passion for teaching. With the Year of Education on the Station is coming to a close, here are some of the highlights from students speaking to the #TeacherOnBoard from across the country!

Why do you feel it’s important to complete Christa McAuliffe’s lessons?

“The loss of Challenger not only affected a generation of school teachers but also a generation of school children who are now adults.” Ricky’s personal mission was to bring the Challenger Mission full circle and give it a sense of closure by teaching Christa’s Lost Lessons. See some of Christa’s Lost Lessons here.

Have you ever poured water out to see what happens?

The concept of surface tension is very apparent on the space station. Fluids do not spill out, they stick to each other. Cool fact: you can drink your fluids from the palm of your hand if you wanted to! Take a look at this demonstration that talks a little more about tension. 

How does your equipment stay attached to the wall?

The use of bungee cords as well as hook and loop help keep things in place in a microgravity environment. These two items can be found on the space station and on the astronaut’s clothing! Their pants often have hook and loop so they can keep things nearby if they need to be using their hands for something else. 

Did being a teacher provide any advantage to being an astronaut?

Being an effective communicator and having the ability to be adaptable are great skills to have as a teacher and as an astronaut. Joe Acaba has found that these skills have assisted him in his professional development.  

Since you do not use your bones and muscles as often because of microgravity, do you have to exercise? What type can you do?

The exercises that astronauts do aboard the space station help them maintain their bone density and muscle mass. They have access to resistance training through ARED (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device) which is a weight machine and for cardio, there is a bicycle and treadmill available to keep up with their physical activity.
