Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order. They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

It’s going to be a very long four years if you get wound up about everything out of Trump’s mouth. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-vows-t...

Ok I will admit that I was VERY hesitant to get on a new social media platform. I already have like 6 and honestly the internet isn't that fun these days, but I have to admit I'm really enjoying Bluesky! Please consider sharing this post to help me grow my Bluesky audience to match the rest!

End of year, I always book health appointments and try to "use up" my insurance benefits. Feels dystopian. Like why can't I get health care when needed without worrying about breaking the bank? (And why doesn't healthcare include vision, dental, mental?)

Listen, none of us knows what will happen in the next four years, but I’m not going to freak out with every stupid fucking thing he does or says. No one person has such power over my moods, and I invite you to adopt the same mindset.

Well it seems like most people don’t understand how Tariffs work and who pays the price for it. Thank you Into Action for this simple explanation. #Tariffs #TrumpRecession

Idiocracy in a nutshell: Inflation was going down. People wanted prices to down faster so they voted for the guy whose tariffs will make them go higher. And NOW the MSM are explaining tariffs and inflation.

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

I am trying to take public transportation more instead of driving. I am trying to eliminate my spending at Walmart and Amazon entirely. I am trying to use less plastic. I am trying to eat less meat and never get fast food. These tiny acts of resistance add up. I recommend you all try to do the same.

With 55 days to go to til Season 2 premieres, here’s a shot of Adam Scott I took with my Leica. His running approaches Cruise- level. Though no one runs like Cruise on screen… #Severance 1 17 25

My husband and I went to a dog adoption event yesterday to hang out with our older son and his girlfriend, who were volunteering there. We were NOT going to adopt another dog. Absolutely, positively NOT. Meet our new 3-month-old puppy (a rescue from PR). She adopted us, lol. Any ideas for a name? 🐶

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges. Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition. Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

Early winter berry palette, for the possible dopamine it might trigger in your brain. The colour of spindle berries (bottom rightish) never seems quite real...

Heartbroken to admit that if you eat healthier things and move more, it does make you feel better. What the fuck.
