We had pouring rain yesterday so the moss has gone from crispy to lush. I went to visit the wood that's teeming with one of my favourite species, Hookeria lucens and it looked gorgeous. The leaves are a single cell thick & transparent. You can see each cell. #moss #botany #macrophotography #nature

The word(s) of the week: Malicious Compliance. Malicious compliance is the act of following a superior's orders to the letter, even if the outcome is negative or unintended. In the workplace, it can be seen as an act of rebellion, where an employee uses the company's own rules against them.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Rep. Fitzgerald was booed by his own voters at a town hall after trying to defend DOGE's mass layoffs by referencing "waste, fraud, and abuse". Turns out, they’re not buying it.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

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.

NSF changed my life for the better. I was working as an engineer in NY and got a call from my potential advisor that his grant on climate decision-making just was awarded, could I start the doctoral program in a month? Three weeks later I was there. Everyone deserves these types of opportunities.

Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicans’ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

Universities really need to pay attention to this. It's not just about the indirects and frozen funds. If these layoffs continue, which by all signs are continuing and going well beyond probationary employees, these agencies will not be functional, including NIH, CDC, and NSF
