srsly if you hate that publishers charge your grant $5-10K for open access, there's a simple solution

don't write for those journals
don't review for those journals
don't edit for those journals

Scientific Reports, Nature Comms, Comms Psych, Frontiers <- I auto-delete all their emails. easy 👍🏻

I'm rapidly coming to that view. I need to clear my queue at this venue just out of professional responsibility, but then they can go to hell

🚨 New Feature Alert!

You can now mute and unmute schedules, manually within our app or dynamically with our new schedule mute API.

Muting a schedule keeps it applied while preventing pings from being sent, allowing you to maintain the participant's position once the schedule is unmuted.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · Jun 2

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.

They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
