The end of FY 2025 is coming, and #OMB appears perfectly content to use us as targets. We are not their chess pieces. We serve our PIs. We are here in our personal capacities. Follow the #NIH.

I'm cheering for the #Mariners, and of course they lose. I cheered for the #Yankees. HA! I'm a #Ravens and #Giants fan. That's not going well. Should I cheer for MAHA? Ugh, I just can't. #nflsky #mlbsky #publichealthsky #sciencesky

My cats like that I am fur-loughed. I hope everyone is OK. We donated to the local food bank.

Thanks, @ianlmorgan.bsky.social , @willjawando.bsky.social , and @evanmglass.bsky.social for understanding how valuable the federal workforce is to MoCo. Hiring displaced federal employees fuels the MoCo economy.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

11. I spoke with Dr. Bhattacharya and journalists, not for heroics, but because we owe our PIs and the patients a chance to "turn discovery into health." Thank you for being with us, @jeremymberg.bsky.social , @csmarcum.bsky.social , and @antifaspecops.bsky.social. #NIHStrong

10. I knew the risks of what I was doing in terms of my role within the @amstatnews.bsky.social and @asa-scipol.bsky.social, and most of my close friends within #hpss knew what I was doing to save projects and data from misuse and a rescission.

9. This conference was the very beginning of August when #OMB threatened #NIH with the rescission. It was only two weeks after our meeting with Dr. Bhattacharya when the threat of retaliation for signing the #BethesdaDeclaration was fresh.

8. and he failed to use the updated that I had provided him two months prior. The sexism, cisgenderism, and racism burned. He didn't care what I had done to get there, and what it required me to do with every single Type 5 sign-off the week beforehand.

6. GFE, as though he wanted me to be his personal secretary. I cried in my office because I was breaking down from the stress. At the conference, he showed up late while audience members told him to get started, and as a result, I did not have enough time to provide my presentation,

5. The colleague knew my predicament as I had sent repeated emails and texts, and he instead decided to ignore critical information and insisted I perform the emotional labor again to tell him what HHS priorities were. It took me hours of time to explain my circumstances, to re-write emails from my

4. because of my role in this professional society, and because of my role in the panel, even my slides required approval. I have no idea whether this person felt expediency was the norm in a heavily DOGEd agency and department (expecting expediency from the federal government is unreasonable).

2. I can say that in this time, I have greater understanding who my friends are, and the people I want to see on the other side, even though we don't make it out in one piece. It happened in 2009. My husband felt the same way when he returned from OIF.

1. This piece cuts. I have been angry at a colleague since May, and he knows the reason for it, but he feigned ignorance when I saw him at a conference in August. I viewed this person as a friend, until I realized that when hit with fascism, he would rather say, "Why do you need X right now?"
