It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

If someone calls out fascists and Nazis and you think they are talking about you, maybe the problem is you?

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him

NSF now sending “stop work” notices on funded active grants. Doesn’t sound like a pause.
I can't decide which would be a worse outcome here. That research is cut off permanently. Or that the administration uses the pause to implement new restrictions on science to the point where the only "research" researchers can do and publish is research supporting administration-approved "facts."
I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Today I had some chicken & dumpling soup that was so thick I could eat it with a fork. This is now my new standard for determining if a soup is thick enough. If you need a spoon, it's still too runny... 😋
