Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
(I'm aware that the usual protocol for this involves isolating the cat somewhere quiet and small, like a cage, but I don't have the physical space for that unfortunately. Trying to improvise something else that'd work?)
Tula had quite a bad fall yesterday afternoon and sprained her back leg. Got her seen at the vet for it, but it's already been quite a struggle just to get her to rest/not run around. It just seems to keep piling up this week.
murderers still sailed on
When you talk to people struggling in this economy, as @sarahlazare.bsky.social and our friends at @workdaymagazine.bsky.social did, their anger at a billion dollars a day being spent to bomb Iran becomes palpable.

Not me, thankfully, but... another very visual example occuring in front of me, a very disturbing forewarning, perhaps.
Yesterday I was reminded in a very visual way that methemoglobinemia is a condition which can occur as a result of exposure to substances such as benzocaine.
In other news, I'm now a little apprehensive about using any of the multiple bottles of benzocaine I have hidden in my kitchen.
An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
We got a call yesterday from a spouse of a sailor deployed overseas. Her husband told her that once the news broke of the U.S. being responsible for the massacre at the girls school, they shut down all news & social media access on the ship.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.
Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.
Pretty much, yeah
Daylight saves those who save themselves.

βBreathe! Breathe!β he recalled officers shouting about 6:30 a.m. Then he said he heard an officer say βDudes, you killed that dude.β A female guard replied βIf he is dead, weβre going to cover it up and heβs going to have an alibi -- my officers,β the FBI notes said.

The Miami Herald reports that an inmate told the FBI he heard prison guards discussing the fact that they killed Epstein and were going to cover it up the morning he died.
The female guard below received thousands of dollars of payments in the months before Epstein died.
An Israeli-American airstrike on an oil depot in the city of Tehran lead to a leak and mass fires throughout forests and roads.
If that's not Ecocide, then what it is?? I feel bad not only for the humans involved - but the animals as well.
Very fitting symbolism, to be honest
MANY ARE SAYING THIS
Damn me, but all things are queer
It's just very unnerving to go to a place you thought you'd still recognize just to find a husk where the villages were being demolished, the hospitals and libraries were all closed, a living man's face was on everything, the calendar was rewritten and your own people weren't allowed to talk to you.
(I'm typing this out as it comes to me, between what's been occupying my time over the weekend)
Mentioned before that I've been permitted entry into Turkmenistan exactly once since 1991 and I wish I didn't go. I could go on and on here but I have no time for that.
Again, what a shame.
...upon thinking about it further though, I still have no desire to ever return to Turkmenistan. The land I once knew has been half demolished and replaced with empty vanity projects. What would I go back to, if the day ever came.
What a shame the collapse of the Soviet Union was.
It's one thing to be born in a place and have no memories of actually *living* there, but that's not where the story ends, is it? What happens when you add in family who live in that place and memories from that place which you made later on in life?
I need to brush up on my Turkmen.
I think I've been downplaying, to myself, my origins and how enmeshed my life really has been with the land I was born in.
Much to say about Turkmenistan. I have a lot more sentiment for that place than I've let on, as unrecognizable as it is to me today.
