We are moving soon and fiance is being good and motivating us to pack but man with my luteal phase and PMDD plus current events I am struggle bussing

i want to YEARN

Gotta give them a heads up! 🛸

Don't forget.

enough with ‘your 30s are for’ my 30s are for rediscovering everything i used to love and realizing 14 year old me was kinda onto something

Me: I try so hard to be nice Coffee: IK honey take another sip

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

If you design a tv to be hung on a wall, can you put the hdmi, etc sockets near the outer edge rather than the middle of the back please!?

coffee ain’t gonna cut it today. i need to be abducted by aliens.

Oh hang on a second *I turn my head to the left slightly, to catch a glimpse of something rare and beautiful. Something hinting at the sublime. It ceases as quickly as it arose, but will linger long within me.* Sorry what were you saying?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

I just want to make my silly little art, not become an expert in politics and beg my representatives to do their damn jobs.

Yes!!!!

Trump’s DOJ Has Erased a Key Report On Violence Against Native American Women. The Justice Department has removed a report from its website that lays out recommendations for tackling the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. #MMIW www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Friends, I need y'all to reach out to your representatives and do some advocacy for Tribal College students 🙏 Please see the announcement below. NIEA and AIHEC are also engaging in this Call to Action! Please share.

I’m just looking for the same thing everyone is. A secret lesbian girlfriend who doesn’t really like me.

I didn’t think having light impacted my productivity that much until I had to work in the dark for three days straight and y’all I am strugglebussing

Kendrick got the yts on the clock app teaching history lessons inspired by his 40 acres and a mule line at the superbowl! Y’all can NEVER make me hate that man!!!

boyyyy howdy, did I need this

@carostar.bsky.social Hello ❤️ I'm Lena, a mother of three children from Gaza 💔. We lost everything in the war, and my husband is injured and can't work. We urgently need help with food, water, and clothes for our children. Please donate or share our campaign 🙏 Link in bio

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

retweeting to boost

Just what you'd expect from the weirdos who wrote a law named for Matt Walsh's movie

An important point to keep in mind.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

I sleep with a knife under my pillow in case someone with assorted meats and cheeses breaks in and needs to make a charcuterie board

This feels so relevant right now.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

We were able to pay $1500 and we had til Friday to pay the remaining balance but really tomorrow cuz nothing posts to their system on weekends according to bldg manager. We still owe $1682.34 which is more than expected cuz we got hit with late fees. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

Thread about #MMIWG2S (Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit) crisis on the stolen Indigenous lands of Canada and the US.

CDC sources have told me that they expect these layoffs to target employees on probation, those with 'term' appointments, contractors, at 'Title 42' employees — a section which allows the department to hire highly qualified scientists as special consultants.

💥ATTENTION CDC💥 If terminated, you may have hrs before access is revoked. Please download (print to PDF) all employee docs asap including: eOPF file (esp SF50s), mypay (esp LES), benefeds, PMAS, termination email. Collect important website addresses and passwords for accounts accessed via PIV.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl set really seems to have made the worst people absolutely unravel. They didn’t just dislike it - which many people did, from all walks of life, and that’s fine - it really struck them in their souls. And some of them are still growling away. It’s fascinating.

May I never, ever know an ass-whooping like the ass-whooping Drake got from Kendrick, through this beef, in my life. Amen.

As a South Asian, I can only politely ask: what the fuck?

Doctor: Everything seems normal but your heart rate is a little high, have you been experiencing anxiety recently? Me: I work in public health.

The Kendrick Lamar halftime show was positive because a lot of people are now finding out and talking about 40 acres and a mule and what that means.
