I guess I'm realizing how much of a creature of habit I am and how much change--even if it might in the long run be for the better--just throws me for a loop.

I keep repeating to myself these incredibly helpful wise words from a dear friend:

"Don't let fear get in the way. Turn it into curiosity. "

Curiosity begets Creativity ~ and Creativity begets Curiosity. 🔁 💡

Ma & Wei argue how curiosity and creativity might have a reciprocal relationship.

This sounds intuitive, but it's always good to see this confirmed in the data.

So wonderful to see these rays of light in #UX design among all the muck and mire in search engines and recommendation algorithms.

I hope they soon create the pretty obvious category "science and technology." But I guess they're targeting a UK/London audience rather than me (US West Coast) with their categories and recommendations.

It might be that culture isn’t something we awkwardly laid atop rational analysis. It might be the other way around.

I begin to regard my flaming curiosity as a flaw. With so much data around me, with so many thoughtful discussions going on that I just have found about their existence, how in the world am I going to keep up with all of this AND live my own life? I'd love reading and thinking for eternity, but currently I can't afford this luxury. What attitude should I have towards the mountains of information then if curiosity drives me apparently nowhere?

"There wasn't anything in this session that we as women don't already know. I had come into this session thinking there would be more curiosity about our reality and what we can change, not bullet points on how to cope with our shitty experiences."

If I'm reading correctly, there are currently 3 robots tootling about on Mars:
Curiosity (5 Aug 2012-?) 🇺🇸
Perseverance (18 Feb 2021-?) 🇺🇸
Tianwen 1 (14 May 2021-?) 🇨🇳

3871 Mars days, or 10+ Earth years, for Curiosity! There was hoo-ha on the 10 yr anniversary.

Lotsa misses from the Russians. 😜 Lots. It could be a punchline.

I didn't look at Mars orbiters, functional or otherwise. I imagine there's many, with some since the 60s.

#SunRays on #Mars

#NASA's #Curiosity rover recently captured this image of the setting Sun's rays shining through iridescent clouds high in the Martian atmosphere. Although we see rays like this all the time on Earth around dawn and dusk, it was the first time that the phenomenon (also known as #Sunbeams or #CrepuscularRays) has been seen so clearly on Mars.
