I don't think working on code before bed is a good idea for me.

Somebody just made me aware of the tweet by that person. Students who see this: taking time off work to advocate for science peacefully at the state capitol is NOT participating in an illegal protest. Full stop.

We shouldn’t be forced to be silent about things that matter and affect PEOPLE.
