Donate to Help Keep Our Neighborhood Pantry Stocked, organized by Celeste Headlee
In 2021, my neighbors and I installed a little free pantry on my front lawn,… Celeste Headlee needs your support for Help Keep Our Neighborhood Pantry Stocked
www.gofundme.com
I have a food pantry in my front yard. It is used heavily. We can't keep it full & could use some help covering the cost of shelf-stable supplies. No one is using this pantry unless they need the help. We supply beans, oatmeal, onions, etc. It's not gourmet food.

The average American apparently has no idea how much of a positive impact our world-class research had on public health & have no idea how much misery & death will result from its destruction. I'm so fucking livid every day at the median voter's ignorance that led to this colossal fuckup.
we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.
EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org
