Yearly reminder that April Fool's day is a gigantic nightmare for loads of people, in particular Neurodiverse folks, and people with anxiety issues. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you have a temporary excuse for being a dick to people. You don't.

While railroads spent more on stock buybacks than rail safety, Warren Buffett became $42 billion richer & is worth $106 billion. On Friday, Buffett became $435 million richer, enough to provide 7 paid sick days to every rail worker in America for an entire year. Ban the buybacks. twitter.com/CNBC/status/162948

In 1977, NASA began looking for women astronauts.

Sally Ride spotted an ad about it in the Stanford school newspaper & applied. She was one of six women chosen.

In 1983, Ride became the first American woman to travel into space. Her role as a mission specialist was to work a robotic arm to put satellites into space.

Ride went on to teach at UC San Diego & worked to promote women & girls in STEM. She also wrote childrenโ€™s books about exploring #space. nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/ #HistoryRemix

Tennessee's clownservative governor Bill Lee, who's about to sign a bill making it illegal to dress in drag, is seen here... dressed in drag.

Of course, the unspoken excuse is "Oh, c'mon, it's different when STRAIGHT guys dress in drag," but try writing that into law.
