I keep saying this, but people do not realize how fucked up this is and how many people it’s going to harm

It is not hyperbole to say that people will die because of this:
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.

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.

Am I the only one terrified of the next four years to come? As a creative mind who writes some *explicit* content... Let's just say I'm worried about everyone in our industry.
