The pain from these cramps has made me exhausted and angry enough to need to find something I can direct it at.
My neurodivergent headass went from :
being pissed about how little research we have on endometriosis
to how much R&D funding this disease receives annually (only 16 million projected for 2022)
to how microscopic that 16m is in comparison to other federally funded programs and organizations far less deserving of any funding whatsoever
to a prime example of the far less deserving funds (almost half a million) that were given to the research department of Reed College, Portland, Oregon and was spent on teaching pigeons to play slot machines to see if they could develop gambling addictions
TO THE FACT THAT WE SPENT 4.5 MILLION DOLLARS ON THROWING HUNDREDS ENDANGERED BREED OF LIVE FERRETS INTO INCINERATORS AFTER USING THEM IN ATTEMPT TO CREATE A COVID VACCINE.
oh, I almost forgot-
at one point, we gave UC researchers 3 million smackaroos to play World of Warcraft for nearly 4 years.
