I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

The lawsuit challenges the NIH's current policy of using keywords to flag grant applications associated with climate change, DEI, gender, misinformation research, and vaccine hesitancy, keywords that have been used to terminate my own funding as well. Below: just a few of the banned words.

Today, with backing from the ACLU, Kelton and twelve other named researchers filed a class action suit against the NIH under director Jay Bhattacharya for censoring their research and violating their First Amendment rights.

Short thread: 18 months ago, as part of their assault on higher ed, Trump/DOGE/Vought terminated my friend Kelton Minor's NIH Director's award that would have allowed him to take a faculty position there. Without the funds, Columbia ultimately rescinded the position. Kelton moved to Denmark.

While I am a Japanese, #Balkan #music used to be my favorite, and I still have a collection of cassette tapes with Balkan #FolkSongs 😉 These tapes are about 35 years old, but today, I felt like revisiting my old collection 😊 I have always loved those unique, irregular rhythms, like 11/16 😉

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

My partner says that I’m too hard on myself and that I should be kinder to myself. But I’m afraid that if I’m kinder to myself I’ll become complacent. They said that I just have to know that I’m doing my best. But sometimes, my best just isn’t enough..
