just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

oh this is cool as hell, i miss the era of people publishing their source code as just part of the manuscript

noise pollution causing actual real physical health problems in humans is one of those things that sounds fake but isn’t

fwiw if it makes you nervous, having some emergency preparedness supplies/planning/knowledge is always a good idea in my book; it gives peace of mind, and is useful for a lot of situations other than earthquakes.

at least CA expects them. most of the PNW was built before scientists put the pieces together that the cascadia megathrust was capable of Really Big Ones (late 80s-early 90s. the native folks already knew this from oral tradition, but the people writing building codes weren’t listening)

real shit

when i moved here we had a bunch of lil earthquakes that year and while it did make me hyperfocus on learning a lot about them, it also made me Eternally Nervous
