So it turns out that I accidentally have four (!) extra rooms reserved at the con rate for #WisCon. Do any of you who are attending need a convention-rate room?

Another quick question for people who speak and write in languages other than English: Do you get upset when people use translation software to reply to your posts if they are not native speakers/writers? Why or why not?
If y'all could boost this post so that I can get more responses from people who speak/write English and at least one other language, that would be great! #CommunityDevelopment

This visualization is a centerpiece of this year's #NASA #BlackHoleWeek. It shows 22 binary star systems where one partner is a #BlackHole. The orbits shown are sized proportionately, but the orbits are sped up by a factor of 22,000 and the black holes are rendered larger than is correct, so that you can see them move; the shortest orbital period here is 2.4 hours. Stars are coloured corresponding to their temperature. #astronomy

As of the MidRealm's Tournament of the Dragon, the last of my Stateside dependents have been elevated to the Peerage.
Travelling to the US was still pretty scary, given the US and UK attitudes toward the ongoing pandemic, but I didn't want to miss this important moment.
Plus I got to extend the trip and see my parents, which was nice.
Welcome @cobflaith and @KiloGex !
Sorry for the delay, I was travelling with limited computer access.
All better now;-)
