Per an NIH source:

“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

anyway i'm writing a cyberpunk/scifi/specfic novel (not sure where it best fits yet) that's been in my head for a few years

it's been a LONG time since a project excited me this much. i don't have any deadline but i'd like to have a messy, completed draft by the end of the year 😇

idk who needs to hear this but...finish that old wip from years ago that's so close to being done that it's been haunting you. it will set you free

the worst part for me isn't how the oligarchy "government" is taking over social media...it's how the press is sat right in the back pockets of politicians and billions

i'm not just worried about the next four years. i'm worried for the indefinite future

dear bluesky please don't get purchased by the powers that be spitting propaganda at me. amen.

the biggest thing i've been struggling with is re-finding my writing voice. i used to have such a strong voice that sounded so distinctly me - but years of not writing has eroded it. it's like trying to speak a language in a mother tongue i no longer use. but -

sometimes i wonder if i got into writing with the right goal. like, i love writing, but i like editing and revising and workshopping even more. and i love working with people to chip away their piece to refine it. like - maybe i should have tried to become an editor lol
