The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

When graduate employees at Mizzou were stripped of our health insurance in 2015 with 12 hours' notice before coverage expired, we walked out and formed a union... and the librarians marched and rallied with us. Every librarian I know is a phenomenal human on top of being great at their job.

I really want to change my ringtone to Kendrik Lamar screaming "MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAARD!" since my that's my last name in another language. Then I remember that as a theatre maker and an educator, my phone is on silent or vibrate 98% of the time anyway. The idea still makes me giggle, though.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

I put a library hold on this book months ago, but some things just arrive at the right time. "Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The ACLU’s 100-Year Fight for Rights in America" by Ellis Cose is extraordinary writing and a well-researched and compelling history. 💙📚 🗃️

If you're feeling overwhelmed right now and are experiencing a functional freeze when it comes to "what can I do?": Focus on what you know. Focus on where you have access and influence. Focus on your unique skills. And work there. It's all connected, so what you do where you are counts overall.

Direct Economic Contributions

In case you want another source on how the NIH's direct economic impact serves the country, here it is from the horse's mouth: www.nih.gov/about-nih/wh...

nih.gov

NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

000

Even if one is *somehow* not compelled by all of the absolutely vital life-changing and live-saving medical research the NIH supports, self-interest from the economic benefits their work provides should convince people to want the NIH to retain its funding.

Every single state benefits economically from the work the NIH does. In my state of Ohio alone, NIH grant funded projects employ over 13K people and generate $2.6B in economic activity.

110

In FY 2023, $37.81 billion in NIH funding supported 412,041 jobs and created $92.89 billion in economic activity.

Infographic with blue background and white text showing that the NIH supported 412,041 jobs in FY 2023. 39 states with 1000+ jobs, 24 states with 5000+ jobs, 13 states with 10000+ jobs. NIH funding resulted in $92.89 billion in new economic activity in FY 2023. 47 states with $100 million plus, 31 states with $500 million plus, and 23 states with $1 Billion plus.

100

In addition to the vital research the NIH does, they are a vital economic driver for this country. For every $1 spent in NIH research grants, their work drives $2.46 of economic activity.

Infographic with a blue background stating that "$1 NIH-Funded Research in FY 2023 = $2.46 in New Economic Activity"

My Psychopharmacologist and I (Next To Normal BDWY-2009)

@drjkhokhar.bsky.social Your bio plus my Theatre and Performance Studies scholarship with a specialty in medical humanities makes me wonder if you're aware of the song "My Psychopharmacologist and I" from the 2009 Broadway musical "Next to Normal." (See linked bootleg) #AcademicSky
