- I can’t believe these prices at my daughter’s high school. $8 for a cup of noodles? $6 for a soda? $8 for a pack of gum? Cafeteria food is much cheaper but still, they should make prices a bit more affordable for students.

- Reposted by Celtic KarlaJust heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH. Why? Perhaps no payline for 2026? 2025 all full up? Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps. The ones who remain are working so hard.

- I can get Coca-Cola with sugarcane in glass bottles from the taco shop down the street. The question is, can they bring down the price. The taste is better cause it’s more carbonated and less sweet but it’s more expensive than regular corn syrup sodas. Lots of Latino drinks are made with sugarcane
