Hey Science side of tumblr folks, if you were working on an NIH grant that was canceled, ProPublica is looking to hear from you to amplify your story and put it in the perspective of the ongoing assault on our commitment to care for each other.
Multiple relatives of mine donated their bodies to science. That donation was in each case an awe inspiring act of kindness and love, an effort to help create a world in which the thing that was at the time actively killing them would not do so to others if they could help it.
Huge swaths of disease research is based on similarly beautiful commitments to humanity, and the NIH represents our societal commitment to make those sacrifices matter.
So I am taking these bastards pulverizing it extremely personally and am incandescent about it. I am personally committed to making everyone involved in this suffer as much as I personally can. Which is to say I would appreciate if you took the time to help ProPublica shine a light on this atrocity if you have a story to tell them.
ProPublica is reputable af and extremely hardcore in their investigations. They’ve also got a pretty good track record of embarrassing politicians enough to get good shit done.
I support them financially because we NEED them, and I encourage anyone who fits the profile to get in touch with them.
I trust ProPublica.

Remakes shouldn’t be made by people who hate the originals.
Snow White isn’t supposed to be a symbol of female empowerment.
She has no power. She’s not trying to gain any. She’s a whimsical little weirdo singing to birds and living her best life despite her shitty circumstances and the evil queen who has everything she could ever want hates her for the crime of existing. The story is highlighting the ugliness of vanity and envy and one-sided spite. The romance wasn’t even about finding love, marriage was a symbol of security. That’s why the prince’s role didn’t matter.
Disney has sucked for a while for a multitude of reasons but one that bothers me significantly is these stupid remakes being made not to showcase timeless themes to a changing culture, but to maintain the branding while sloppily trying to save face against bad faith criticisms.
If you hate Snow White then don’t make Snow White. Make a new thing. There are plenty of people in this day and age who could use a story about a spiteful old bastard in power picking on a harmless whimsical little weirdo only to finally piss of the weirdo’s weird friends enough to get yeeted off a cliff.
