I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

![I am calling due to grave concerns with the freezing of communications at Federal agencies. Specifically, I am calling regarding HHS and the National Institutes of Health, including the indefinite suspension of council review meetings, review section, and travel. Currently, our state of [insert state here] benefits from over $654 million [WI data; insert data from your state here] in biomedical research funding from the NIH with a significant portion of that going to support jobs, innovation, and education, translating to $1.64 Billion in economic activity [WI data; insert data from your state here]. As a concerned local [citizen/resident/scientist/researcher/educator], I urge you to make sure that the money that has already been allocated for NIH extramural funding, including all training and workforce development grants remain committed. Having this funding removed would be disastrous for our local economy, important university biomedical research, and would lead to the loss of thousands of research training positions at the staff, postdoctoral, and graduate student level. NIH has always benefited from Congressional support across political ideologies, and continuing to commit to its funding and extramural projects ensures our country remains at the forefront of biomedical research efforts and innovations.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pj7rqr7fzl2qf4v7l7ygej6w/bafkreif2irkeiikyvwoqan3aksfsatisbkobnupftulco2gjy6reu2lfoa@jpeg)

⭐️ Book Review: Same Page by Elly Swartz
When Elly Swartz was a guest on The Reader's Heart, we talked about the theme of forgiveness as being a common thread in all of her books. During our conversation, Elly described forgiveness as an important part of the healing process, because it allows us to reclaim some of our power. When you forgive someone, you're not forgetting that they hurt you. You're not excusing their behavior or absolving them of whatever consequences their actions warrant.
