| 0:00.0 | Hi friends and welcome to another episode of bite-sized bish. Today's bite-size-bish is going to be a pep talk. Get in losers. We're going healing. Also, you're not losers. That's a reference from Mean Girls for those who didn't get it, but get in friends, we're going healing. Because Yubish is here to give you a pep talk. I had to give myself a pep talk last |
| 0:22.7 | week and that in addition to some good news that I received and also the fact that seasonal |
| 0:29.5 | effective disorder has been exercised from my body like a demon has helped significantly |
| 0:36.4 | because every year I prepare for seasonal depression on top of my |
| 0:42.4 | just regular old run-of-the-mill depression. |
| 0:45.7 | And every winter, it's horrible. |
| 0:49.3 | And I forget that it's not permanent and it's going to go away. Here where I live in Northeast, |
| 0:57.0 | PA, it's very cold and very gray in the winter, which for me, for me and my mental health |
| 1:02.9 | truly makes the biggest difference. When I don't see the sun for months at a time, it's wild. |

| 1:14.5 | an update, as promised. B, to share some of the insights that I've learned while riding on |
| 1:21.5 | the struggle bus for the past couple months. And the third is to talk about the ways that I am actively resisting, you know, just all of it. |
| 1:31.5 | All of the hate, the anger, the divisiveness, the greatest act of resistance is radical self-care. |
| 1:38.1 | And so that's what I'm going to talk about today. So let's get into it. Last week, I had an appointment. Well, I had several appointments. |
| 1:46.6 | My oncologist, the long and the short of it is that my oncologist said a couple of things about the |
| 1:52.7 | NIH funding cuts. Number one is that the cuts that are being made were proposed after checks were |
| 1:59.7 | already cut and contracts were already fulfilled. So I don't |
| 2:03.0 | exactly know what that timeline is, but the new, the cuts will take effect in the future. |
| 2:09.9 | And I don't know, I mean, it could be a month. I have no idea. I don't know what that pattern is |
| 2:14.0 | of, you know, government funding and all of that, that would probably be a question |
| 2:19.5 | for Mandy, which I'll have to remind myself to ask her next time we have an M&M hour. But for now, |
