There's something that @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social regularly says which is that you don't need to live in someone else's imagination. I think that it's so important to hold on to this. Work to create the world YOU want to live in rather than to succumb to the one designed by your enemy.

Scientists need to face the reality that this is not some temporary funding crisis while a bumbling administration sorts out their priorities. This is an intentional assault on academia by accelerationist extremists who wish to break society. Fascism must be met in the streets.

URGENT request for help: I need to build a case (soon) that justifies the "broader impact" of my research (yes, this is related to recent events in the US). If you have ever used Chartability or Data Navigator in your work in any capacity, I would love to know! Please email ([email protected]) or dm me.

Trump's EO banning trans people from military service is based on a premise of military readiness. It also demands reinstatement of service members discharged for refusal to vaccinate. Which is fucking hilarious because talk about a danger to battle readiness. www.thepinknews.com/2025/02/19/j...
