Totally agree. So helpless. I also think it’s intentionally being done to exhaust us, but we got to keep fighting 💪🏽

Feeling the same way 😬 but creating a community to talk about it is a first good step!

While I also get my code to run...

I also !! Hope your code is able to run !! 🙌🏽

Sometimes I think my computer is actively working against me … until I remember that computers only do exactly what they’re told to do 😅

Yeah! There’s been some movement with my university’s union and there’ll be a demonstration tomorrow 💪🏽

But it’s frustrating to see how … headlines haven’t been as hard hitting and criticizing as I would have expected regarding DOGE’s actions 🥲

Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Oh, the play was quite lovely—and rest assured, I’m still working on my research projects despite my online ramblings!

I’ve tried talking to family—including family supporting the current administration 🫣—and it’s hard to articulate how much it hurts to see NIH, NSF, NPS, and other institutions get slowly gutted? 😭 And with the news cycle moving too fast? 🫠

It feels pointless to be working on my projects … 🧬💻
