Ohio! Call your reps! Look… unsurprisingly, our legislators would rather rule than listen to us. It would be illegal to purchase out of state cannabis products, reduce the number of plants you can have, make it illegal to share with friends. And sorry renters…

Hey, if you’ve contacted anyone in government-your senators, representatives or governors…
have you spoken with anyone?
Were you able to leave a voicemail?
Anyone showing up to their office in person? I’d love to hear about your experience 👀

Because my skin looks like death today, I used at TikTok filter to clean it up. But continuing my rebellious red lip fascination - today is Bawse Lady from The Lip Bar.
This color though - feels a bit too intense for me. I still kinda love it. Why not?

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.

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms.
2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

Experimenting with red lipstick out of protest a la the 1940s and such. Today’s was Glossier’s black cherry lipliner and balm. It’s very vibrant for me, but super pretty. More berry than red, but not by much!

“The $TRUMP memecoin — a financial asset that didn't exist on Friday afternoon — now accounts for about 89% of Donald Trump's net worth.”
Trump just became one of the top 25 richest people on earth. Through this. Insane, open & now normalized corruption.

Woke up to the news that Trump posted “SAVE TIKTOK” on his Truth Social which means this is all a stunt.
I can’t believe how many people’s lives have been messed with for him to score some political points.
We’re in The Bad Place and he’s not even president again (yet).

I finally realized what bugs me about the TikTok notice: it’s not that Trump may save it, it’s the ‘we need his permission’ vibe. It feels very Handmaid’s Tale. I don’t need permission to post on a social platform. TikTok, you’re starting to feel like a bad place. Never OfTrump
