She was an inspiration. What a life🥰
Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100.
Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life.

Thirty-six years later, we still remember. Fourteen women, killed because they were women. We honour their dreams, their strength, and their right to live freely. We must never stop fighting gender-based violence.

Great idea. Local news matters to people. Don't wait for some billionaire to fund it - crowd source it.
Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:
Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."
We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.
One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

I'm glad to see so many Upstate SUNY schools represented here, including UB.
Nearly 200 uni presidents sign statement opposing "undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses" and "coercive use of public research funding."
If your US institution is not among them (Columbia, NYU, UM), that's a giant 🚩.

I love this building. Don't lose this one, Toronto.
Toronto’s Old City Hall (EJ Lennox, completed 1899). One of the most important buildings in the city, now a huge opportunity for reuse as a museum and more. We have to get this right.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
