So, right, Pluto not a planet anymore, woe. (Actually I am just absolutely elated that we're finally defining what a planet is! I have spent the last five years repeatedly insisting to people that a society that hasn't defined what a planet is is a really, really primitive, backwards society in terms of science. So yay us!)

Also, Plan B will now be available in the US without a prescription! The snag right now is that you've got to be at least eighteen or have a prescription, but that may change and in any case this is a giant leap forward. Yay for more power and choice over reproduction.

Oh, and we can now get stem cells from embryos without destroying them. Which is awesome, but whatever happened to that whole menstrual-blood-is-chock-full-of-stem-cells thing? Did I dream that? Because that seems, you know, worth looking into. And completely could-be-or-was-attached-to-a-baby (umbilical cords!) free.

Also the poetry slam was awesome.

And my head hurts and I don't actually have anywhere to unpack my stuff. I'm going to go lie down.
