Sample text to write to FDA:
"Make COVID vaccines available for everyone 6+ months of age to protect the community and reduce new variants.

COVID can cause Long COVID, loss IQ, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc and disability.

Children are susceptible and should be vaccinated. buff.ly/RwAQeCJ "

My friend graduated from their master's program on Saturday. To commemorate the event, I did a photo shoot. This is my favorite photo.

I’m always so proud when people are out there putting themselves out there and learning something new.

A graduate stands in the middle of frame with one hand in air, above them is cap mid throw. They stand in front of an arena in black robes.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

just so you all know bc books are a very opaque business... any way you buy/borrow a book is fantastic, but getting hard copies is *significantly* better for the author because that number shows up in an antiquated database called BookScan that publishers prize. ebooks & audio don't.
