Just called the offices of Warnock and Ossoff to express my frustration at their complicity.
“Democratic Senators voting in favor: Baldwin, Bennet, Booker, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Hassan, Henrich, Hickenlooper, Klobuchar, Ossoff, Peters, Rosen, Schiff, Shaheen, Slotkin, Warnock, and Welch.”

On this celebratory day of women and girls in science, let’s reflect that the US National Science Foundation has put the words “women” and “female” (but not “men” and “male”) on the list of forbidden words that will get your grant slated for the reject bin.

My physical therapist told me today my health can’t improve until my stress levels do. 🙃 I’m sure meditating once a week will fix this.
very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman
