"Of the 137 universities the Committee identified as hosting a Gaza student encampment, 115 of them (84%) received at least one NSF grant....—NSF is tacitly complicit in the resulting violence. " Seems like Ted Cruz could use to sit in on a HS science class on causation vs. correlation.

and he charges 30% overhead (F&A) which is higher than the rate proposed for the NIH, which funds LIFESAVING CANCER RESEARCH.

Just DMed you!

I work in research dev and have a pdf of the instructions to NSF division directors about reviewing grants. Contact me if you want more info.

Do remember that KY has a blue collar manufacturing economy subject to the whims of billionaires, automation, and over the last three decades outsourcing. These contributing factors have amplified the impacts of the opioid epidemic. oh and their politicians don’t value education. It’s systemic.

Rage splashes
puddles of snowmelt
I miss them before
they are gone
and maybe this year
when the earth dries
and the heat rises
we don’t try to put out
the fires.
We just let it all burn.

I go to sleep angry.
Again
give me a tangible task
that my bare shoulders
can shoulder
Or else I will be consumed
drawing out the line
between warning signs
and beacons of hope

I wake up angry, careful
of the edge
The high water mark stain
mourn my footprints
while I stomp

I wake up angry
gravity won’t answer my calls
the voicemail box is full
I think maybe
the river knows my rage
let it overflow
even the hateful ferns
unfurl a privileged flag

When I dream of a better world
is it one without pain?
etherize?
anesthetized?
Yeah, sometimes.

WTF
