It’s not the tariffs though. They just decimated science in America. And, please understand that I say this with full knowledge of just how bad HHS has been gutted. NIH is now working about as well as mid tier college. They booted some big names and others have quit to go elsewhere 1/

Third?!? Come on! 47 said we’re number one again, and the best we can muster is third hottest November since 1979. Excuse me, but 3rd is last place compared to 1.
Anyway, we’re gonna be cooked. PNW is also experiencing lots of rain.

but i am totally being serious, ask stuff all the time! i have been called a machine gun of stupid questions but that's why i know so much
The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly
