I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Fascism aims to take your joy.
Pure joy is self-ownership; an act of resistance.

Embrace joy.
