....if I wrote a grant claiming that I would have a thorough clinical study completed by September of the same year starting NOW. I would, rightfully, be laughed out of the room.
This is shameful. Autism isn't an epidemic.

Reminder to NIH leadership:
Giving Musk’s people access to NIH systems (like NBS) may well be illegal and you don’t have to do it.
Your goal now is to DELAY. Public opinion is shifting. Do not let the DOGE bros kill grants and research by altering the finance systems.

In dark times, its important to hold onto your dreams. My dream, is that someone will dig out all the unused takes of Hayden Christensen and re-edit the #StarWars prequels. George Lucas did him dirty, and my boy should be redeemed

I got my Storygraph account, and I know I should just walk away from goodreads, but it is really hard when I just got bumped to the top of the community reviews for another book. I am weak and crave validation #BookSky💙📚

Do not open your door for ICE officials.
Talk to them through your door. Refuse to open it.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Shakespeare, but can we talk about how he came to dominate western literature largely because Voltaire couldn't stop taunting the English? #BookSky💙📚
