Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer.
We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old.
An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.
Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.
And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.
As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.
With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.
“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020
May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

OH NO HER NECK IS STRETCHING
*freeze frame* you’re probably wondering how i ended up in this situation
some sketch commissions i’ve been doing in the past months on my kofi! ✨
Honestly, I’m just apprehensive that Lucien can now speak through Caleb and Beau like he can with his party.
OOF
Things are just a little bit more personal now.
okay but beau who has already been literally dragged kicking and screaming into a religious institution before without her consent, whose love interest has DIRECT and PERSONAL experience with mind control at the hands of a fanatical religious cult…
and caleb whose first question on finding the eye is ‘what does it feel like’, whose hands immediately go to the scars on his arms, who has twice been forced to use fire on the people he loves, who is no stranger to mind control whether magical or mundane…
both of them who are so burningly curious, so achingly intelligent, caleb so brilliantly ambitious, beau so sharply astute, each of them at the forefront of piecing together this mystery, library buddies from the very beginning, reading a book that so directly violates them while they sleep…
fuck
Oh, oh, oh and I totally breezed past S1 ep 17 Baby Blue, where Finch and Reese are walking down the street with Leila in a carrying papoose on Reese’s front TOTALLY NOT LOOKING LIKE GAY DADS OR ANYTHING
