Seems like you're doing things right. We need to avg one active grant/yr w/ 2 months salary (we typically cover 2 not 3 mos). imo if you collab with senior people, make sure you get funding/benefits proportionate to the work you do to submit it (don't do free work for them bc you're "junior").

I told FB I was a 70 something man when I was pregnant with my first and did not like seeing the weight loss ads. It got rid of them out on FB, and pretty sure they're minimized on IG. Shouldn't have to do that ofc. And means I get other stuff (colon cancer, adult depends, etc).

I would not do that, though "really batshit stuff" can be interpreted widely. :) Looking at the journalist and their recent articles is a bright line for me assuming topic is otherwise a fit.
