I Can Hardly Wait

February 02, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

So there’s this —

The reason why I am excited?  Can you even begin to imagine how cool the signs will be?  And Trump will understand none of them.

 

Be social and share!

  1. I’m sure Trump will expect Frederick Douglass to be marching.

  2. I’ve never heard of this. Can anyone fill me in?

  3. Trump wouldn’t understand the comic book version of science.

    Just got back from having no internet or news for two days. Such a pleasure, you can’t imagine.

    The very idea made me LOL … 🙂

  5. Maggie, just google March for Science. There are several facebook pages and lots of articles.

    It would be so much cooler if March for Science was actually in March, but April is Spring Break month, right? Wouldn’t do to have profs and TAs deserting their student in the middle of a term.

  7. Of course Trump would not understand the average Tea Party sign written in crayon. Well, he may understand the sentiment behind them, but he’d miss out on all those complex one-syllable words.

  8. Let’s hope The March for Science is a resounding success and that it takes place before the EPA is burned to the ground by Trump’s nominee.

  9. Gauntlet accepted!
    My wife laughed and smiled about your challenge!

  10. Charles Phillips–It is scheduled for Earth Day.

  11. Satellite marches in lots of other other cities.
    I will be in March For Science – Kansas City, in full scientist regalia. I need to dig up a clean lab coat though.

    I think there’s just enough time to order and receive a pocket protector and a narrow tie. I hope my white shirt still fits …
    I wonder if I can find my nice Pickett slide-rule in the leather case with the belt loop.

    Suggested sign for the march :

    front
    EPPUR SI MUOVE

    back
    AND YET IT MOVES

  14. joel hanes, I like your sign. One side should have a photo of the Earth, and the other a photo of that huge chunk of Antarctic glacier that’s about to break off (and leave room for others to flow into the ocean and raise sea level).

  15. Marching in CT with Yale and UConn. Gave away my lab coats when I retired but I’m working on a pink hat with LEDs.

  16. @Joel, I used to have a circular slide rule. It disappeared when I got my HP reverse Polish programable calculator. Still have/use the calculator. I even have a labcoat around somewhere. And of course my jeans.

    Going to find a place to march on the 22nd. Even here in TX.

  17. Mel, check Twitter. March for Science Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are active and there should be more cities shortly.

  18. Science March Austin should be fun! I bet they will have food trucks. And music. I should re-think my Kansas City march plan.
    Houston will have a march of course.

    joel hanes, no white shirt necessary. The current geek fashion faux pas consists of a blue shirt and some color of light brown/tan chino pants. Or, if you want a geek “black tie” look, a suit jacket and jeans; tie optional. “Fuhgeddaboud a pocket protector or circular slide rule. If you’re not comfortable carrying a man bag for your laptop, carry the latest iPhone® (much more suitable for a day on the march)

    My sign, if I could attend would be: “Donnie loves science. He lives Einsteins Theory of Insanity.”

    But Donnie is assaulting and insulting us on many fronts. I’ll be standing with my brothers and sisters at Standing Rock.

    I already have my “hotel reservation” with my sister in DC area. I’m supposed to be in Boston Sun/Mon for Alzheimer’s meetings, but DC is on the way from CA, no? Barring a crisis in the local geriatric world, with my 101-year-old father, I’ll be there. I should note that he is much more capable of critical thinking than the Orange Horror or his white-nationalist puppet master.
    Now to work on my sign!

    @Laurel Beckett#20- Not only probably more capable, but infinitely more important. At least all the words on the signs will be correctly spelled and Mango and the TPers will not understand the greatest share of them.I watched a tv news story on Punxatawny Phil and groundhog’s day, and marveled that a significant portion of this country would accept a small mammal’s prognostication of long-range weather, but do not accept the veracity of data collected and analyzed by a large majority of climate scientists.

  22. Go Protestors! I love you all!

  23. joel hanes says:

    It’s a bit more obscure, but I think this march will give me a chance to put my

    WWGF (What would Gordon Freeman do?)

    bumpersticker to good use.

    Janie & PKM :

    I’ve spent the last 35 years as a computer engineer in Silicon Valley, so I’m moderately conversant with real geek anti-fashion; it’s what I wear every day. (You forgot the New Balance shoes part).

    I’m aiming to look like the popular stereotype of a scientist from the Space Age. Lance Mannion posted this picture of his Dad’s nuclear engineering work group
    http://lancemannion.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451be5969e201bb0972a6aa970d-pi
    and that’ll be my model for the cosplay part.

    BTW, more people should read Lance Mannion’s site.
