"No one is coming out of the sky to give you your grant money. Your citation portfolio won't survive this market crash. Your credentials mean nothing. Everything is going to change." Scientists must adopt a harm reduction model, says Ogbunu.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

I just got back from running errands and getting a few items from the grocery. Zero chance we are spending any money tomorrow. Small actions make up the larger resistance.

I am guilty of this so I’m not casting blame on anyone else or saying you shouldn’t make these posts because we all need to vent but it is very demoralizing when people just post stuff like “we’re fucked”, it just wears you down in addition to all the other stuff wearing you down.

Do not be scared. Do not be afraid to speak up. You are not alone. When more people speak up, more will follow. And so on. You are not alone. ✌️ Power to the people. The people have the real power. 🇺🇸 Democracy-Liberty-Freedom Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. ✊

I love this idea!💙

I heard that NIH is limiting overhead payments to 15%. Is this true? If so research in higher ed can't go on. The power to run instrumentation and research labs would eat up the whole 15%. I am sure other agencies will follow NIH, right?

Truth!

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Food for thought.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ? I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

My very last day of work is tomorrow. RETIREMENT is the dream that is going to be my reality. I understand my privilege. I genuinely do

All this time it wasn't about the price of eggs. It's the fact that she didn't look like you.

Pssst. Hey, you. Yes, you. Hi. If no one has told you lately, you’re totally kicking ass even though nothing makes sense anymore. We need you. Keep it up.

Shameful. Predatory. Greed.

I understand the health insurance industry is evil. We all need universal healthcare in the US. This is a baseline truth. I find it ghoulish when people applaud when a human is gunned down on the street. This is not how we solve our problems. IS IT??? Or maybe it is now.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

I love days when I do great work and my inner voice stops picking me apart. Rare, but it happens

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz, we’ll go first:

I was doing ok. I was. Dr Oz was nominated to head Medicare and Medicaid? We are doomed

Went to the office today. Once again, I am reminded that offices are an outdated concept which have nothing to do with getting work done. It is all about oversight and control, isn't it?

I have been under the weather for two solid weeks. Every day I wake up and think "I am going to have energy! I am not going to cough! My voice will be strong!" Sadly today is still not that day. whine, whine, whine anyone have a magical cure?

Just started Dragon Age: The Veilguard - OMG what a fun game!

Interesting that RFK saying we should eat better food is a great idea but when Michelle Obama said that it was the government wanting to take people's cheeseburgers and how DARE she suggest such a thing. I wonder what might be different.....

Call your mom. Do it for those of us who really need to talk to our mom but she's passed away. Please.

Excessive doomerism is precompliance. #Resist

Still randomly crying. Digging deep for strength and working to center others rather than myself.
