This map shows the economic impact of NIH funding. (Note that it doesn’t include NSF, DoD, etc so the full federal funding impact across the economy is much greater.) Call your governor and senators.

FYI the National Council of Nonprofits is collecting stories via this form about how the executive orders are harming nonprofit organizations nationwide. If you just got screwed today, tell them about it here. They're also asking who is comfortable sharing their stories with reporters.

I was looking for a #medlibs starter pack this morning and couldn’t find one, so I made my own. It’s very lightly populated (because I’m very lightly caffeinated at the moment) so feel free to make suggestions!

More treasures from the Homemakers Group of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ (Minnesota), 1975.
First up, chili recipes. Relatively innocuous (albeit bland) until you get to the recipe with the secret ingredient of tomato soup.
Also, chop suey.
