Love that I have a job now that consist of First Aid training in the morning, making a scratching post for a bobcat in the afternoon, then chasing after a wild bear and training a deer in the evening. 😌

I never realized how much I wanted a baby until we lost ours. It’s only been 24 hours since we found out our baby’s heart had stopped beating, but it feels like our entire world has shifted, and now we’re ghosts.

@ashleytheologist.bsky.social re killer cows in the UK: there are laws in the UK that allow public access to walking paths across private land. These are probably not public grazing lands, rather, private lands that are walked by the public who have a long-standing right to be there. 1/

I’m looking to do a podcast episode sharing the stories of federal workers who have been fired recently due to the new administration. Please DM me or email getoutalivepodcast@gmail.com to share your story, or if you know someone who wants to share theirs.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs
There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc
Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

To expand on this, right now ~200 postdoc fellows directly funded by NSF are locked out of their salary &research funds right before the first of the month. No doubt other NSF funded grads &postdocs are affected as well. All requests for funds put in before the freeze are slowly being cancelled
As of now, NSF does not appear to be changing course at all given the temporary restraining order or the rescission of the memo. I can't help but feel that the NSF director is failing us and his handling of this is indefensible. new.nsf.gov/executive-or...
