I like science & braille & food & cats & books. And large plaster statues of yeti.

Oh my god I was going to put this & thought no one would even remember that movie! It was on tv & I had to keep leaving the room & banging on the piano & singing loudly so I wouldn’t hear it.

Halfway through “City of Stairs” by RJ Bennet & enjoying it. This was another Wombler recommendation from a while back —I get my best recs from Womblers!

Trump corrupted America's most innovative institution, the National Science Foundation, by stealing $1.4B mandated by Congress for research. 🧪 🧵
A photo of Trump in front of the U.S. National Science Foundation entrance, overlaid headline that reads "Trump admin stole $1.4B for world changing science against the will of congress", with a Stand Up for Science logo beneath it.

OSSOFF ON O’DONNELL LAST NIGHT: Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff popped up on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show last night. Money quote: A "mighty wave is building. Because people’s lives have gotten worse. And all the while, they see the president sitting in the Oval Office, raking in billions of dollars for himself and the first family, adorning his walls in gold, and building monuments to himself. It is an obscenity and an outrage."

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Been a very rough week with a very sick kitty so hadn’t gotten far into “How to Hide an Empire” before I had to return it to the library. On the waiting list to get it again. Hope you & my kitty are better soon!

Whenever I see photos of her as an adorable little girl, my heart aches. As a teacher I just want to scoop her into a big hug & can’t imagine thinking otherwise. She’s grown into a gorgeous woman with that same beautiful smile. Happy happy birthday!
