Trump tried to lower NIH indirect rates in his 2017 budget and that failed to pass. This is a reminder that everything he tried to do through legal means in the first term will be attempted again through illegal means. He will only succeed if we let him.

My second book of poetry will publish with Atmosphere Press in 2025. It feels a bit surreal to write from South Africa with my sweet daughter sleeping next to me as I anxiously check my phone for updates on the unlawful shuttering of USAID and coup of OPM:

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s writing has been giving me hope since the election results were finalized.Here is her newsletter aptly named Meditations in an Emergency after the title of the wonderful poet Frank O’Hara’s book:

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.

Among many reasons, but mainly because Elon Musk spent $44B to turn Twitter into his personal MySpace account, I’ll now be more active here —mainly screaming into the void, trying to make sense of life, and posting about my writing and poetry.
