Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?
You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

My cats are really messed up by the time change and think their dinner is way overdue. Their solution to this is to occasionally walk across my keyboard. They have made my browser do things I didn't think was possible. This isn't getting them fed any time sooner, though.

It’s horrific and inexplicable. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are objectively pro-cancer. They’re destroying the entire infrastructure that has made so much progress and is poised to make much more. People will suffer and die because of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

We’ve never been closer to finding a potential cure for cancer than we were with mRNA.
So of course, RFK Jr. cancelled all government funding for mRNA.
God fucking damn it.

What happens when you cancel hundreds of cancer research grants, halt trials, freeze funding, lay off thousands of employees at FDA, NIH, CDC?
You don’t just hurt science. You hurt the people - patients waiting for hope. This isn’t just politics. It’s life or death for millions.
