It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

The Musk-Trump administration is objectively pro-cancer
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
Strong power move for Team Cancer.

at home and abroad, their whole plan is for everyone to be poorer, sicker, or just plain dead
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

They’re looking for grants with the word “pollution” to pull — thus eviscerating fully half of my elementary education.
(The other half was to say no to alcohol and drugs, which I eviscerated myself.)

You guys aren’t gonna believe this but — and I don’t know how this is possible — the second they did this I bought a dozen eggs for 9 cents.
So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.
