40+ yo, they/them. too many ideas, too little time, too much stress. Also psiten on Dreamwidth! Ask to connect on discord. Writing fic since I was about 5, probably won't stop. See my AO3 (still psiten) for an idea of my fandoms, but there are always more.

If anybody wants to share this on other sites, like tumblr or reddit, it's cool! I'd appreciate a link-back and if you'd let me know so I can see the post, but mostly I have seen people asking "Who do I contact?" and I wanted to get some ideas out there. Also accepting more contact info!
Okay, I spoke with someone, like I do.
Amazon Customer Service (1-888-280-4331 in the U.S., [email protected]) directed me that they did not decide what content went up when I called to complain about the AI dub on Banana Fish and other anime. They directed me to contact "the publisher."

“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are!

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.
The answer: yes, they are.

I've already heard several of my colleagues say they don't see the point of participating in peer review because of the low funding rates. This could easily be the straw that broke the camel's back when asking scientists to spend valuable time evaluating the ideas of their peers 🧪
This new policy from NIH is concerning.
It looks like a way to weaponize administrative burden, one of Russell Vought's favorite moves to break gov't.
Background: Program staff / NIH institute directors can move grants around outside peer review order. 1/

NIH is changing their policy so that staff have to prepare justification for every application that is funded BUT NO DOCUMENTATION FOR APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SKIPPED (BASED ON PERCENTILES).

This is fantastic reporting on Siembra’s work here in Charlotte. Other groups were active as well (especially Carolina Migrant Network). The resistance to and resilience against CBP’s assault wasn’t about meemaws with guns but this kind of organizing as well as organic responses from the community.
