I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

The shutdown chaos is the full responsibility of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
If a multibillionaire says jump, the GOP says "how high?"—and working people suffer.
As Democrats, let's remind the country that we're the ones fighting for a government that actually works for working people.

Remedios Varo, Spanish surrealist who fled war-torn Europe for Mexico during World War II, was born on this day in 1908. Varo created one of my favorite pictures about looking (and its limits), this 1935 gouache entitled Ojos sobre la mesa (Eyes on the Table)
