NASA employees have released their own 'dissent' letter, joining NIH and EPA employees in protesting agency changes in the Trump administration. They call it the Voyager Declaration. Words by me: 🧪🛰️

Here are three pieces of life advice for survival under a government that hates you, from a Native. None of them are going to be the prepper bullshit I see currently circulating around- that's all bad advice, by the way, that one's free.
You need to be able to contain your anger and despair and write them in a diary or something instead of screaming them out to the public, demanding everyone else try and stop your panic attack for you. The public isn't your mommy or your nanny or your therapist or priest.

How would you engage in a nationwide strike?
1️⃣ I would be there and bring others with me.
2️⃣️ I would need to believe it was big enough to make a difference.
3️⃣ I would support others but can’t participate myself.
4️⃣ This is too risky or not my way of resisting.
5️⃣ I don’t support this.

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social
We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL.
Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist
