@nytimes.com reports that the #Trump administration has admitted to #canceling #federal #grants to #states that didn't vote for him. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b... #Impeach, #convict, and #remove him from office NOW!

Photo of a headline and subheading in The New York Times on July 24, 2026: "Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him. Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states 'based solely' on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election."

Our son made 35 very delicious burritos from scratch this evening; the 3 of us each ate 1 for dinner. 😋 I’m sure we’ll eat them up quickly.

I'm a #MedicalEditor, so yeah, I think #science is important. But #scientific #research affects YOUR #health too. Changes planned by the US Office of Management & Budget would drastically cut back on US federal #grants for #research. Please read & act BEFORE July 13: www.linkedin.com/posts/kokedi...

This is the closest that I’ve *ever* seen our doggo Colt and our cat Shameme sit near to one another on our couch! Be still, my heart. 💗 Doggo is 5 years old; kitty is 17 years old. Photo courtesy of a grandchild.

Call me petty. But I was damn happy to see this notification when I was looking something up online about anatomy. I don't use #generative #AI. —Highly skilled medical editor at your service

Look at Figure 1, & you'll understand why "Exploring the Dermatological Applications of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome: A Comprehensive Review" was #retracted. Was published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy. #PeerReview? Ha! link.springer.com/article/10.1... link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Figure 1, a colorful illustration purporting to show scar healing in the human body, has nonsense, hard-to-read labels such as "hair feosons," "seguvation," and "mstem cell secraatome."

This is where my grown puppy Colt sits in my office when there are scary boomies (thunderstorms) outside in the evening. From there, he can see his mommy keeping him safe and is in reach of reassuring nose pets from her.

#Edibuddies, who among you remember the low-tech days? We had to ship #edited #paper #manuscripts back to publishers by UPS or FedEx. My brain was part of my manual spell-checking device. And I used to go through a *lot* of erasable colored pencils!

When Edward O'Moore-Klopf is off work for a holiday but I’m #editing in my backyard #office, he cooks dinner and brings it, and our doggo Colt, out to my office so that we (the humans) can have dinner together. Colt keeps us company. He knows he’ll get his dinner in the house shortly.
