Painting the things that I've printed. Slowly.
At this rate, probably 2 minis/night? And that's not even the larger prints.
Still, I'm pleased with the results so far.

The IBM Portable Terminal from 1972.

Designed for internal IBM use and few have ever seen it nor have they heard of it.

It was the first true battery powered terminal with full modem. #RetroHardware

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 children’s books about exploring #space. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/who-was-sally-ride-58.html #HistoryRemix

I was shocked when I found this out. Shocked, angry and as a white girl who was a direct beneficiary of Dad's WWII and Korea service growing up, very uncomfortable. I learned about red-lining, racial covenants and all the other obstacles thrown in the path of Black progress.

I'm still learning, but I'm getting there.

White is not an ethnicity. White is not a heritage. White is not an ancestry.

White is a political construct invented to distinguish Western European imperial slavers and colonisers from the people they were conquering.

Tonight in 1979 — MRS. COLUMBO debuted on NBC.

This misbegotten spinoff starred #KateMulgrew as Columbo's previously unseen wife, a reporter.

After poor ratings (and flack from #PeterFalk and the creators of #Columbo), it was retooled and retitled. 13 episodes were produced.

US federal government has ordered a nationwide drinking curfew at midnight, with bars, nightclubs & pubs closed early to save fuel & manpower for the war effort.

I just found out that Jackie Rickard, Jack Rickard's daughter, has stepped into the roles her father left as he became ill and left the world. Jack was a critical part of the BBS documentary and I didn't interact with Jackie during it, but I'm glad to see her in the family business. (Electric Cars)
