I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
Federal health workers terrified after ‘DEI’ website publishes list of ‘targets’
The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The man who sexually abused me when I was a child is on his deathbed this evening. He is also my father. It’s a complex range of emotions tonight.

For as much as I have loathed my father, there are parts of me - who I am - that I get from him that I’m so grateful for. I will take the grateful road.

Hi, BlueSky community! Here’s a pic of one of my favorite places. I hope it brings you a moment of peace and tranquility during these uncertain times.

Always remember that compassion and empathy make us stronger, diversity makes us better, and love is always greater than hate and fear.
