Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I just don’t even know what to fucking say anymore.
Everything I grew up being taught, all the tests I passed, the playground rules I abided, sharing, caring, the golden rule, none of it means anything when there’s so much money to gain for old men in denial over being able to take it with them.

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.

I played Feed the Kraken (a social deduction game) tonight on the good team with 4 other people who collectively distrust each other the most with these kinds of games. How did we win that when we spent 2/3 of the game giving each other stink eye?
