Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Hey! Have you called or emailed your reps today? I am enraged by the new EO titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling” - if you are too here’s something you could copy and edit to send to your reps:

Please do not assume that because an executive order will probably be blocked, harm won’t be done. Harm is coming out of just the RHETORIC spread by the Trump administration. The base is riled. Entire groups of people are dehumanized.

Writing to my reps about this vile order this morning. Mrs.Frazzled said “within 90 days, this EO will birth an ‘Ending Indoctrination Strategy’ that will gut federal funding for any school where teachers/staff acknowledge students for the humans they are- with investigations to ensure compliance”

May we, like Fredegar Bolger, ‘decide what to do with the time that is given us’. May we find ‘deeds within our measure’ whenever life asks it of us and—more importantly—have the courage to act upon them. #tolkien #lordoftherings manymeetings.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal

U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

On a separate but related note, this is technically a graphic novel for kids, but adults could definitely benefit from this book as well. Thumbs up from both kids and adults (the adult is me) 👍🏼 I got it from our library but I’m ordering a copy from our local bookshop #bookrecs #graphicnovel

I’m only one chapter in, but this book so far is excellent. If you’re interested in the history of witches as a cultural fixation, the history of the demonization/fear of women and womenhood, and/or like me, love a historical book with specific case studies- this is for you

on REPEAT!!!

So they killed Cassandra first
Cause she feared the worst
And tried to tell the town
So they set my life in flames
I regret to say
Do you believe me now?
They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time
That I was onto something

The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line
They all said nothing
Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul
You can mark my words that I said it first
In a mourning warning no one heard
