"I seek a cure for an ill loved one. She has little time."
"Is she your daughter?" Aeryth asked.
The elf turned her head and though the sun was shining, her face was now in darkness.
"She is my world." Aeryth thought this a metaphor. Then the necromancer spoke.
"Equinox," said he.
"Dusk," said she.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.

This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.
THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Get really familiar with this concept because that's what is happening right now. We will no longer have free and fair elections. Democracy is dead. It was murdered in broad daylight by a TV gameshow host and a ketamine addled afrikaaner man child.

I hiked up the north side of Squak Mountain in the Issaquah Alps this morning when it was 28°F and found the MOTHER OF ALL HAIR ICE. Look at this beauty!! This is by far the most perfect hair ice I've ever found.

For those who missed my last hair ice post, this is caused by fungus in the wood.
