Thinking about this 1997 Edmund White quote on Fresh Air today, talking about casual gay sex in the 1970s.

Well, nothing is more personal, more emotional.
(This is him reading a quote from his novel The Farewell Symphony)
Jemand hatte hier in den letzten Monaten mal ein Dokument gepostet, das er/sie für Feedback zu Kursen/Workshops/Seminaren verwendet.

On Monday, scores of scientists at the National Institutes of Health sent their Trump-appointed leader a letter titled the "Bethesda Declaration"
challenging “policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe.”
It says: “We dissent.”
In a capital where insiders often insist on anonymity to say such things publicly,
92 NIH researchers, program directors, branch chiefs and scientific r…

When gunfire pelted the Atlanta-based headquarters of the CDC yesterday, hundreds of employees were inside the campus’s buildings.
The experience was terrifying.
But some of the employees were not particularly shocked.
“I’m actually surprised it didn’t happen sooner,”
a nearly 20-year veteran of the agency told me.
(She, like others I spoke with for this article, requested anonymity out of fear of losing her job.)
This was, in one sense, the first attack o…
