The media keeps failing. They're describing Trump commandeering the power of the purse as a kind of political squabble, a funding fight akin to budget negotiations.

It is an AUTHORITARIAN POWER GRAB. Trump DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHO GETS WHICH MONEY FROM CONGRESS.

As a grant professional at a nonprofit, I am currently hyperventilating.
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

And now that we have that out of the way…
I watched #interstellar for the first time last night, and I cannot stop thinking about it. Kicking myself for waiting 10 years to watch it but also don’t think I would’ve appreciated it as much back then. Wondering what other movies I’ve been missing out on

I’ve been holding off on posting here because I felt like my first post needed to be perfect. And now, I finally have it. What could possibly be more perfect than this sweet angel baby?
