Perhaps the real watch list was the friends we made along the way. Keyboard Inghimasi. Sic semper tyrannosaurus rex. --Dire Straits Appreciation Zone-- #Flowers4Qanon
Meanwhile, my thoughts are with the people of Ukraine as Russia launches attack on the capital, Kyiv. I stand with Ukraine.
I maintain my firm position that academia isn't being murdered (as people claim) so much as it is in a race to commit suicide with the GOP's own effort to kill it.
Robert Borden Stan Account@bordenstan.bsky.social · 19h agoIf the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

fire's gonna burn mt hood away and leave a hole, that's how crater lake was formed and it almost happened to st helens once
Also worth remembering how Turkey, being true to their Ataturk heritage, blocked Incirlik from being used to relieve besieged refugees on the Shengal mountain. It was the YPG/J, itself besieged by IS and Turkey (and later attacked by Turkey) who broke through the border to relieve Shengal.
Hey folks? If I post something commemorating a genocide and you feel the need to mouth off and blame the Jews for making ISIS I'm just gonna block you. I wasn't trying to argue with anybody about what happened in Sinjar. I was stating a fact. If you disagree with them, that's on you.
I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
I feel like I'm at cheyenne mountain every time GOES alerts me to a wildfire within like 15 minutes of ignition. "Launch detected" as fuck
At 2 million acres burned and counting, this is officially the worst wildfire season in Oregon state history. The season has two months left.
for the record i'll take annoying leftists on bluesky over fascists on twitter any day
Aram Shabanian@aramshabanian.bsky.social · 2d agoOnly on Bluesky can you post a well-established fact about ISIS and have a bunch of leftists chime in to tell you that ISIS did nothing wrong and Amerikkka is the big baddie. Jesus christ people, go the fuck outside.

Proof that braindead reactionaries aren't exclusive to America, here's a Canadian posting in support of Islamic State's genocide of Yazidis, a crime against humanity this canadian refuses to believe took place
Third alarm brush fire outside Dallas, Oregon -- By the time I arrived, crews had it mostly knocked down and in mop-up
"How come all these fast-moving WUI fires seem to only burn the homes and leave the green, watered trees only singed? Must be a conspiracy" stammers society's bilge after literally every single fire, never stopping to think that maybe that's just how fires work in the WUI
12 years ago today Islamic State captured the city of Sinjar and embarked on a genocide against the Yazidi people who lived there. Citing R2P doctrine, the US began an intervention against the group that prevented them from completing their murderous mission.
smoke's here portland time to close your windows sorry
Hey folks! I'm trying to fundraise the last little chunk for my trip to Ukraine this September to conduct research and interviews about the war. If you're in a position to contribute at all, I would greatly appreciate it! Sorry for the vague gofundme title, but you know how they be about ukraine

Last week a teenager shot himself on my block, on the sidewalk, at a little after 2 in the morning. I heard the shot. I saw his body. I saw it all. And for the last week, every night, his friends are out there standing around talking, laughing, commiserating.
