My federal employer: everybody back in the office NOW.

Also my federal employer: oopsie somebody with measles roamed the halls and now hundreds of you have been exposed.

Me: the worst change to an ending from a book to film/tv ever is My Sister’s Keeper.

The Hunting Wives: hold my beer.

You can see the shell of it, and you know where things belonged. But it’s not there anymore. It’s not functional, and it can’t be repaired. (2/2)

I was recently reinstated as a contractor in my formerly federal job. The agency was crushed and lost over 50% of its staff. Somebody asked me what it’s like, and the only way I could describe it was like walking through a house the day after a fire. (1/2)

Nobody warned you that you needed a ride home eh? 😁

In his final years with dementia, my grandfather would often be confused about where he was, and would steal things that he either thought had value, or that caught his eye. Seeing scenes from Trump the FIFA World Cup was like watching my grandfather’s dementia again.

Don’t for one second, not one millisecond, say babies drowning in Texas is justified because of their parent’s vote.

Jesus Christ. Be better.

There’s a Trump store in Boones Mill, VA inside of a vacant church. It’s too on the nose to be funny.

A few years ago I found the “novel” I’d written at age 13. I laughed until I cried, and then I burned it. Zero regrets.

I’m unemployed right now because of these two chucklefucks so yeah, I’m gonna make time to enjoy watching them destroy themselves.

Can somebody get me this number? I just want to talk…

So Taylor just lives rent free in his head 24/7 eh?

Any size pizza is a personal pan pizza if you’re brave enough.

Maybe somebody should show Mango Mussolini the AI video of Muskrat licking his feet. Bet he will believe that’s real too.

I’m seriously glad ol Graham Crackers posted this. He gets taken FAR too seriously for being a joke of a human. Maybe this will help people see him for the clown he is. Maybe.

DOGE takes over federal grants website, wresting control of billions — The Washington Post A DOGE engineer removed users’ access to grants.gov, threatening to further slow the process of awarding thousands of federal grants per year.

Can’t wait to see what a shitshow this is. 😭

2/ the wide dissemination of knowledge more.

1/ I took the latest DoD deferred resignation. Why? Because it has been made clear to me that my job will no longer be supporting fundamental research but instead cancelling DEI grants and policing grant language. I have loved my job and I’m sad. But I love the idea of fundamental research and

It really sucks. All of it.

People point out that so far He Who Shall Not Be Named has spent about 25% of his time golfing and it has cost absurd money. I understand and share the outrage. But also, I would so happily have had him spend 100% of his time golfing at whatever the cost if only he’d left everything else alone.

I’d toss in $100 for this.

I sent my card to his DC office since I know he’s there right now. I know he’s not likely to be the one to read it but just in case.

I put a good old fashioned thank you card in today’s mail for Cory Booker.

Go Cory go!

DoD sent out a reminder allegedly from Hegseth.

One of our nations finest universities, yet they pulled 400mil in funding from it. Makes sense. 🙄

Seriously eff this whole administration.

I swear if the dems fall for the “they’ll blame us for the shutdown” shit….

No worries. I just want to reassure our scientists that we do care and we are trying.

During Covid many federal agencies picked up new grants management specialists from universities. There are more of us GMS who come from academia than you might know. And we are holding the line too. (It’s not much, but we are trying.)
