Do I have a lot to do today? Yes. Am I in a rush to do any of it? Heck no. The world is fucked, none of this matters even a little. Eat a pizza. Fuck a ham. Tell them you love them. Get some joy wherever you can.

If we stop paying attention we let them win.
If we give up hope we let them win.
If we become paralyzed by fear or anger we let them win.
If we stop caring we let them win.
We WILL NOT let them win!

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I believe that the scientific community will get through this, but not without some damage.
And in a few years, when people who are Ph.D. students now are applying for jobs, their CVs will show that they lived through this chaotic awful time.
And search committee people should RECOGNIZE THAT. 🧪

Okay:

• Breathe deeply.
• Detach and observe.
• Decide on action.
We don’t have the power to stop most of what is happening, but we can still act. We can support mutual aid efforts and welfare and advocacy orgs. We can organize. We can contact elected officials (202-224-3121).

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”
University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.
