Thank you! I was in my 20s. It wasn’t that long ago. And people don’t remember that shit show? Now it seems positively benign, and it was mostly a fucking disaster.

The NIH is a major leading funder, not just of US research but of global research. I am a research administrator in Spain and it funds some of my investigators’ work, for fuck’s sake. Even the EU is not anywhere near as invested in global biomedical work, which is inherently international. These motherfuckers just…

Ugh, yeah. but you know, the only jobs that count are Approved White Man jobs. And no white guys work for EPA. At least not the manly ones. Just my friends from ag school.

Call your congressperson and tell them. They’re responsible for budget stuff. I know it’s exhausting but we have to hold these people to the fire and keep this bullshit from coming to pass.

Cann Aoulter can write all the best-selling books she wants about suhshalizm turning Murca into a third-world hellhole, but these changes would move us far more in that direction far more quickly than a billion food stamps ever could...it’s an interesting pattern, the projection thing these people do.

And he’s clearly a giant asshole. I mean, sometimes it takes a while to figure that out, but for this guy, it’s pretty apparent...

A few people I know from families with multi-marriages call them “start-up marriages”

I from the U.S. and I live in Europe. People have largely been sympathetic, and lots of older people want to tell me their living-under-Franco stories. You will probably be asked who you voted for and what tf we think we’re doing but I wouldn’t worry too much.

But it will buy supplies for 4 more soldiers in Syria, which we’re barely even discussing that a deployment seems to be happening coz there is so much other batshit stuff going on...

In which we enclose the note: SO WHAT EXACTLY IS SO EFFING WRONG ABOUT PLANNING PARENTHOOD ANYWAY

To be fair, she was like 22 at the time. Since then she has no doubt seen a lot more shit than I have. Woof.

Or the workforce. I mean. It’s gross everywhere. Not this gross, but yeah.

Ugh. Before my cousin started her JAG program (it’s a real job, not just a t.v. show! who knew right?) specializing in sexual assault in the military, she told me something about how Jez is too reactionary. I haven’t revisited it with her since then, but yeah...

I was disappointed to find that castles are usually cold and drafty and stuff. I don’t think this is baroque either but it’s my fave one:

As led by Kirsten Gillibrand.

Market magic, everyone!

Yeah, it’s an economic disaster.

oh god man, I know. I was crying all the way through, and I don’t have kids or anything.

There’s also the issue that your genetics are only part of the puzzle-how gene regulation responds to the environment is a big part of whether you get sick, how badly you get sick, etc., and we hardly understand a fraction of it. According to the NIH’s basic overview, “Genetic testing can provide only limited…

Yeah-I am wondering if it was smarter for them to keep him where he was, in a public office, or let him run free...
