BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

About 100 pages into For Whom the Belle Tolls by @sea-ya-later.bsky.social and I'm cackling at what Lucifer is doing. 😆 I'm loving this book

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Love this from Pedro Pascal at Cannes: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don’t let them win"

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Fighting & protesting is much harder on me now than it was 45- 50 years ago! But I will NOT give up. I also will not neglect self care. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are. After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

It's the time of year that there will be an up-tick in abandoned rabbits all because ignorant people don't take the time to research before giving their kid an "Easter bunny". They are not beginner friendly pets. Don't be an idiot, just give your kid a stuffed animal

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

So embarrassed and angry to be an American right now. Every single person in that Oval Office was so disrespectful to Zelensky. He has thanked the US a ton, and who fucking cares what he is wearing. Fuck Putin & every oligarch put there. I stand with Ukraine. #slavaukraini

Living in the US is such a dumpster fire right now. Saw someone talk about Zen Painting and thought I'd take a moment. It's not bad to escape for a little bit to do something like this.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Elon has 23 staffers. Once the dust settles, you’ll never find a job again. America will remember. Someone will take the fall—and we know exactly who to hold accountable. Stop the games. Quit hiding your names—it really doesn’t work.

I'm not really a social person. Typically im one that lurks. But the TT ban has really thrown me off my normal routine. Since it went down at 10:30 (est) I have checked it a few times now just to see if I could see anything. Nope. Just that stupid sign. Gotta find a new way to disassociate

I have been enjoying painting on the artist tiles, I don't typically have a plan when I start but it is very low stakes which ends up allowing me to have more fun

The thing that pisses me off the most with these is how nobody seems to notice even the most glaring mistakes. Like, are you telling me all these years I spent in advertising, fretting over getting the amount of fingers right, I could have just not give a shit and be fine?!!
