yay thank you!! I'm pretty proud of this year's care table. we frantically threw it together just the evening before and morning of. it definitely felt a little stressful--ah the irony. please note my 12yo's contribution: an emotional support capybara (that I crocheted for him!) for petting.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

"Institutions of higher education see productivity as a sign of success and wellness, but that pressure to be productive is actively making students unwell... I’m beginning to realize that being a good student isn’t worth sacrificing my own wellness." -student op-ed on dear elia and mental health ❤️

We Need to Talk About Academic Unwellness

Student mental health is precious, and we should be working just as hard to protect our mental health as we work to protect our grades.

If you’re struggling with alt text due to a disability, or even just having a bad day and can’t brain, typing Alt4Me will ping the feed where volunteers step up to help provide alt text. I struggle with alt text and it’s been a barrier at times to posting. The Alt4Me vols have been a huge help.
