Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

We are fundraising to support #archaeology #students in #Gaza to settle their tuition fees & complete their degrees. We've worked with them at the #GAZAMAP project monitoring vulnerable #culturalheritage. Please donate and share: gogetfunding.com/help-gazan-s...

If this budget goes through, it will kill people.

Please… your donations are my last hope to survive. It seems they want to cut off my connection to the world. Death is chasing me, time is running out, and I have no strength left except in your merciful hearts. Donate to help me evacuate .. Save our life. 🙏🏽

“We are being depleted.” The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) says its food stocks in Gaza are completely depleted, as Israel’s aid blockade continues for an eighth week.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Toddlers are representing themselves in immigration court. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), passed in 1952 & upheld in 2018, says these children don’t have the right to an attorney. This administration is taking advantage of this. This law must be changed. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

They want you to be scared. They want you to be silent. They want you to feel alone. Refuse. Hope is an act of defiance.

Odai is all of our child. donate what you can 💜

On my birthday In the midst of my displacement, while the whole world & the internet try to strip me of my dignity and humanity your support have breathed life back into me and my family I am grateful. I hope this day ends with me reaching my goal Is there a generous donor who will fulfill it? 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

Congratulations to @bioanthmags.bsky.social on her new paper about authoritative knowledge (AK) & infant feeding! AK has been so helpful for understanding birth practices, it's exciting and innovative of Maggie to apply it to IYCF! w/ @laurenkeenan.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/glo...

For the next 2 weeks, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking for everyone to call their members of Congress about the cuts to and political interference at NIH by the Trump White House. 1/ 5calls.org/issue/nation...

Stop pretending “pro-natalist” is a valid term and not just some pseudo-intellectual wank phrase invented to give cover to a bunch of soft-palmed rich freaks breeding a rampart of white babies to protect them from reality.

My freinds 💙 @mobiuswings.bsky.social , @oldoil.bsky.social have collabed on a project to help me get donation to take care of my mum. If you send either Oli or Mobi a receipt for a donation to me for over $10, we'll send you one of these illustrations with my words. HELP ME KEEP MY MUM ALIVE :(🙏🏽

What the fuck

It has never been all of us putting our bodies on the line. I'm not telling you to do that. AND it's not a binary of get arrested OR stay home.
