Every day I have to hear about some asshole

I need to read this.

Whimsical illustration of a child sitting beneath a heart tree reading a book with text that reads: "A child who reads will be an adult who thinks."

I’ve wondered the same.

Hi.

Books are incredibly important.

Please let them be.

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Would anyone like to carpool off a cliff with me. Halves on the gas?

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Watched Anora last night. I vaguely remember it being in theaters. Maybe the Kentucky Theater? I regret not watching it. I thought it was amazing. Neon is doing a great job! I loved The Monkey as well. #neon #anora

Woman in the Woods - Orion Magazine A study of resilience in does and other female creatures

Oh! Thanks to @orionmagazine.bsky.social for re-upping my personal essay about my years as a field biologist studying the feeding behavior of pregnant deer and how they shape forest ecosystems. It’s a DEI hire. And I’m proud of that.

JFK's Grandson Is Hilariously Trolling Conservatives Over Trump's Release Of JFK Files Absolute gold.

After Trump released documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, JFK's grandson and viral sensation Jack Schlossberg used it as an opportunity to troll the MAGA faithful.

The National Weather Service is facing significant staffing cuts and has temporarily reduced weather balloon launches at several sites. These balloons are a key tool used by meteorologists to gather data for weather forecast models.

I’m discovering more books through Bluesky than I did on X. And I visit author websites more—because I can tell when there’s a real person behind the link, not just an algorithm/bot pushing content. Heading to the library to pick up two reserved books today.

This sounds like something I might enjoy!

NIH reasoning for terminating the R01 grant: "Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans. Many such studies ignore, rather than seriously examine, biological realities."

NIH reasoning for terminating the U01 grant: "Research programs based primarily on artificial and non-scientific categories, including amorphous equity objectives, are antithetical to the scientific inquiry, do nothing to expand our knowledge of living systems, provide low returns on investment, and ultimately do not enhance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness. Worse, so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) studies are often used to support unlawful discrimination on the basis of race and other protected characteristics, which harms the health of Americans."

Unbelievable. In just one week, both NIH grants I worked on as a graduate assistant—an R01 and a U01—have been terminated. Their "reasoning" is beyond infuriating. These cuts are going to set back vital research by years, if not decades. #NIHFunding #AcademicSky #LGBTQIA+ #Equity

I do lol.

I believe animals have souls; but I am unsure about some people.

Beautiful, either way.
