"It's an orgy," said Lindsey, on the phone.
"It's not an orgy," said Trey, frustrated. "It's team bonding. The vets welcoming the rookies to the team. It's this big honor."
"A big honor that you had to get an STI test for," said Lindsey, flatly.
"There's not gonna be any girls there," said Trey, soothingly. "It's just the team. It's really secret, actually, I'm not supposed to be telling you about it at all. You just go to the party, you get welcomed in, and then, uh, that's it. That's mostly it."
Lindsey didn't say anything. Trey had to pull his phone away for a second to make sure she hadn't hung up.
"I think," he said, when the silence had stretched on to the point of misery. "I mean, I don't know, but I think there's some magic involved. Like, there's rumors."
"Rumors," said Lindsey.
Trey hesitated, but he'd been the one to call. He'd opened this can of worms, and now he was gonna lie in it. "Guys' dicks get shorter."

neveralarchA couple weeks ago I got hit by a wild porn concept involving a magic sex ritual initiation for hockey players. And I wrote 15k of it in 5 days. So, you know. This is happening to us all now. Check the tags and notes for content warnings!

white_asterVia the False Claims Act, NIH Puts Universities on Edge
A funding pause at the University of Michigan illustrates the uncertainty around new language in NIH grant awards.
Sadly, another way in which the current administrative shenanigans are rippling out and affecting everything.
I post things like this because I think the devil is in the details, and changes to the Notice of Award is definitely a "detail" with far-ranging consequences. It's easy to read a headline these days and know something is bad and stop there. But I think everyone deserves to know where the actual levers of power are and how they are flipped. So, here is one: slipping changes into legal wording that make institutions afraid of crossing the government lest they get sued into oblivion.

white_asterThe ABA Declares War
Trump tried to first “kill all the lawyers.” Now the lawyers have hit back.
This is absolutely an issue to watch. Though there's real questions about the impartiality of the Supreme Court right now, the judiciary has been the last bulwark against the executive branch lately. Until the legislative branch manages to find its bearings (or we find them for them via midterm elections) and start exercising its OWN oversight powers, the judicial branch HAS to remain functional. And lawyers being afraid to bring suits absolutely will break the judicial branch. They can only rule on what people are willing to sue for.
Also, to be clear: this is not only about the lawyers. Even if you don't like lawyers for whatever reason, they represent real, live people being real, live hurt by things that are happening. And those real, live people whose rights have been violated need to be able to find a lawyer to help them defend those rights, or they can't push back, and they might as well not have those rights at all. Make no mistake: lawyers as a profession don't just work for the rich and powerful - they work for everyday folks, too. And given the rich and powerful in power right now, it's everyday folks who will be hurt the most if lawyers are afraid to go up against the government.
