> I get the feeling the rocket launch was therapeutic for you. I can only imagine it would be an almost spiritual experience. For sure. I quite literally cried. I could write three full screens worth of messages and still not truly find the words to describe what emotions I was feeling in that moment. I think it might be one of the rare few times where I can say something was "awesome" and truly mean it. It left me struck, standing there, completely full of awe. Like, picture this: Have a dream all your life about somehow contributing to human exploration of space. Develop the skills to do just that. Get a job in human spaceflight. Spend 5 years of your life working on a spacecraft that will one day carry humans. It always seeming forever away... And then suddenly we have a launch date. And you wake up on that day and it doesn't feel real, but with every passing milestone in the countdown it gets closer and closer. Still, you think, "they're gonna scrub, there's no way this happens." And then suddenly you're standing at Kennedy Space Center, counting down from 10, and watching this ball of fire ascend into the sky.

Astro — 12:46 Oh my god. I just realized something. I think I've spent FAR too much time in the edit bay recently. I'm like 90% sure the other night I told @ezzanel "I've only met @Clicky Coyote once." Referring to the shoot day. But I wasn't there. I've never met Clicky. I just thought I did because I've spent hours and hours staring at footage of him.

Tweet from me from November 26, 2023 that says "So this was a super important and formative event for me. MFF last year was my first con and I went alone and it was big and scary, and while I quickly fell in love, it wasn't until the Syri set that I really felt comfortable and familiar..." The tweet is a reply tweet to another post of mine from March 23, 2023 that says "Going through my videos from #mff2022 and this was 100% my highlight from the @FurFest 2022 dances. @Hey_Syri absolutely killed it. Furry emo night wasn't something I knew I needed, and now that I've had it I want so much more."
"We will make sure that it is as seamless as possible and that travels will get to stay on their intended itinerary," Ms. Noem said. "But we are telling people that this law will be enforced and it will allow us to know individuals in this country - who they are and that they are authorized to travel."
