Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

Call me Kate or Katie. , Recent kidney transplant recipient! Almost totally blind, I'm here for Muppets, Star Trek, cartoons, fanfiction and friends. I also am finding I spend a lot of time talking about the need for alt text. Please use it.
You go to the doctor in the late afternoon and get a 7 day course of antibiotics to be taken 3 times a day. How do you take them? #Medical #Poll #Polls

Please help us save science and research on literally everything in the United States. No, I am not overstating this. TLDR: Grants can be cancelled for any reason at any time at the whims of essentially one person appointed by the federal govt without much or any oversight. This rule will likely cancel about HALF the clinical trials currently in progress, for example. And that's just the tip. Any and all federal funding for any and everything is affected by this rule.
⚠️ TAKE ACTION! 20 days left to comment, can do it through stand up for science here https://fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/163675 or direct via federal sites. Either works. The page I linked has some overview to help you write in your dissent. Comments need to be unique to be counted, so please write your own.
⚠️ Also please call / write your congress folk. You can use the same comment you wrote for above.

Hey All - I know everything is terrible all at once, but I have a biggie for you to help us keep science not controlled by political state. Please help! https://www.science.org/content/article/white-house-seeks-tighten-political-oversight-grantmaking
TLDR; Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time. Political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded. We would no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. We cannot collaborate internationally. This effectively kills all science and technology in the United States. Everything. Medical research, environment work, weather, you name it, it's over.
⚠️ TAKE ACTION! 40 days left to comment, can do it through stand up for science (I have not found the direct link yet, if someone else does please drop in comments, but this group is good and there is additional info on the page to help you write). https://fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/163675/
