Pro-women’s health; pro-reproductive rights; pro-gender affirmation and for health care to stay in your health provider’s office rather than in front of politicians.
Also, Star Wars, Star Trek, MST, Punk, and cats, of course.

Ok mental health break, shall we? We offer you a floof as unimpressed as us. This is a fennec fox, Vulpes zerda, the smallest fox species. We chose this photo not only for the vibe, but to show their feet -- extra furry to avoid the scorch of desert sand in the Sahara, where they live. Enjoy!

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
