DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

A brilliant lab manager in my dept will likely have her only PhD offer rescinded due to reductions in funding. Her visa runs out this summer so this has turned her world upside down. If you know of any post-bacc psychology jobs that would sponsor an international applicant (H1B/J1) please share. 🙏

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing.   Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills. Yet another Trump lie.

A barred owl has repeatedly appeared in daylight hours right by my therapy cabin. Today it sat right in front of my client’s line of vision all morning. I feel honored, as if an elder is holding space with me, imparting some deep wisdom and protecting us as we do deep, sacred work.
