Pride month in the era of DEI rollbacks: Reflections on resilience, and why pride was a riot after all

Pride month arrives this year against a backdrop of institutional irony. In the United States, federal research funding has been thoroughly weaponised and forced a massive scientific brain drain across the Atlantic.
