This is a second lavender scare. They're going to purge all LGBTQ employees from the federal government.
In the USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials.

“People came to us because they needed community, needed connection. We were trying to keep each other safe. Now, we’re all just this big target.”
LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).

Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does) - by D. Spiegelhalter

www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A great article highlighting the subjective nature of uncertainty, particularly relevant to our thinking about the nature of anxiety.
Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does)
All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.

Insurance companies are the problem

Not mental health therapists & psychologists. We want to help. Insurance companies want to profit off of people

Did you know that there's a new psychology licensure exam that folks have serious questions about, but is going to become an additional $required$ exam soon? #eppp2

TEXAS has decided to push back, so this may be the crucial moment for us all to push back: rallystarter.com/rally/1320/s...
