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.

In 2008, a man tried to kill me while saying “you’re already dead.” He was right. I was dead inside and kinda wanted him to kill me. I knew I had to change my life.

We all have to decide for ourselves if we’re already dead and okay with America killing us. What used to work no longer works. Change.

There’s not one way through this morass but as a prof of vulnerable students (nonbinary, non-American, non-white, non-rich), I can help them recognize their worth. As such: hosting a Queer Lit Panel @ Drew Univ. on 2/19 w talents Isle McElroy, @temim.bsky.social & Meg Fernandes. ALL ARE WELCOME! 🦄
