Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Sorry to repeat myself but: folks at NIH in any capacity, I know this has been a brutal week and if you have anything you'd like to share about what's going on, please DM me for Signal
Here's my quick story about this today, updated to reflect that the purchasing freeze may be bigger than I thought.

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.

Base on my reading, in Poland, people have been harvesting żubrówka from the Białowieża Forest for medicinal purposes and flavoring vodka since at least the 16th century. The Białowieża Forest is known as the largest, most intact old-growth forest in Europe, and is home to over 800 European bison.

A brief #Cornfax. And since I've been lazy with my #cornfax, let's talk about lazy corn. Lazy corn is, well, a pretty apt description. Unlike the corn on the left which stands tall and proud, the lazy corn just lies on the ground. It doesn't grow straight. So what's up (or not up in this case)? 1/4
