A screenshot of a tumblr post by user “reggiemess” featuring a classical-style painting of a woman reclining and reading a small red book. The woman is shown in profile, with dark hair and pale clothing, against a muted brown background.

Overlaid white text on the image reads:

“Before, writers didn't use AI, they stole their wife's work and claimed it was theirs.”

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
