I'm constantly impressed at people's ability to stretch anything to fit an acronym, but it's extremely impressive how well that fits.

everything that's going on right now is exhausting and i feel like I'm spiraling and catastrophizing more than normal

So uhhhh. This isn’t good.

For context, NIH study sections review and approve grant and fellowship funding for federally funded health and medicine research—aka, most of the health research that’s done in the United States. This includes research funds as well as salaries and funding for student researchers/pre and post docs at most US universities.

If you’re American, PLEASE contact your representatives about this. This has the potential for a devastating impact on health research not just for the US, but for the entire world. I expect we’ll have more information in the morning, but for now, I’d just urge them to do whatever they can to get this reversed ASAP.

I really want to knit dk weight socks at some point, but I'm wondering if I should sign up for a class to make them. Worried that I'll never finish them if I don't have a deadline.

it's frustrating seeing people downplay the h*locaust because of the awful atrocities in g/a/z/a. you can think multiple things are horrific at once. (censoring these to avoid randos.)

There was a reviewer or commenter who said "I always keep track of how many mistakes the protagonist makes and after three, I stop reading the story and never look back".

I think about that person pretty frequently. We read for our own enjoyment, and therefore there's no wrong way to read a book so long as you're enjoying yourself, but ... maybe I don't actually believe that. Maybe there are wrong ways to read a book, and this guy found one.

not gonna pretend that i have the best taste in books or anything (most of what i read is random non-fiction that looks interesting to me), but i find it kind of hard to relate to readers who pretty much only read ya fantasy. (maybe i'm not one to talk, because i like my share of corny media, but i just think most of it takes itself way too seriously.)

not saying everyone *needs* to shower every day, but why are people on this site so weird about people who do so?
