Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

#TwinPeaks DVD commentary:
Tina Rathborne: "The women in Twin Peaks are isolated...by violence." Shelly, in particular, is "victimized by her devotion, by needing the men, [her] men." (Psychological "isolation" may explain Shelly's cruel--and atypical--mocking of Leland's behavior at the funeral.)

I do sex work so I can live partially in a dream world, engaging in my passions. Because of SW, I'm able to afford to fund these endeavors. Plus, playing make-believe is fun.

If society stigmatizes me for it, so be it. I wear this neon scarlet letter with pride.

#TwinPeaks DVD commentary notes.

Ep. 1: Duwayne Dunham, director:
Dunham edited the TP Pilot, and it was he who alerted Lynch to this image, saying that Laura looked "angelic."
"The look on her face is so captivating. There's a mystery there."

It is funny that the entire NYPD was less useful than one of Central Pennsylvania's bored and resentful strip mall gargoyles

Me as a child: "I really don't understand why people would move to the woods and isolate themselves from society."

Porn is political.

Porn is art.

Porn is a fantasy.

Porn is reality.

Porn is everything and nothing at all.

Porn is emotional.

Porn is friends and colleagues.

Porn is work.

Porn is powerful.

We are all porn in our own little gorgeous ways.

As a little kid who was *absolutely fascinated* with animation I used to love watching Disney movies & shows in particular not b/c I liked them but b/c I wanted to study them to draw better.

Now, the thought of watching Moana 2 bores me & the thought of watching Mufasa repulses me. How times change

The failure to account for sex worker culture & influence has most likely meant we've been missing big pieces of the picture when it comes to historiographies & causation.
