I guess I should do an introduction sometime. I'm Dave and I spend a fair bit of time in Twitch Music, vibing in chat or modding a few streams.

I just like to help. I also do things outside occasionally too. I probably won't post a lot, but who knows what's in the future.

Since my tweet about Jeff Bezos, I've been getting a lot of replies such as these. "Where do these dress rules come from?" "When do they change?"

These are very good questions, so let me answer them. 🧵

As it happens, I'm reading a 1969 NASA report that highlights the value of people seeing people participating in space. They don't need to be astronauts. It's still humans behind robotic missions. Space is still a human endeavour.

Stories like this are vital. ESPECIALLY for young girls.
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake
