@bostonu.bsky.social is on the verge of illegal behavior, as today I gathered plainly visible evidence on campus that this most recent βrequestβ to remove pride flags was made selectively. If this coercive request turns into an order, it will constitute selective enforcement.
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The Diameter Of The Bomb The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters, with four dead and eleven wounded. And around these, in a larger circle of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered and one graveyard. But the young woman who was buried in the city she came from, at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, enlarges the circle considerably, and the solitary man mourning her death at the distant shores of a country far across the sea includes the entire world in the circle. And I wonβt even mention the crying of orphans that reaches up to the throne of God and beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

Good night, friends.
May the darkness wrap around you like a blanket, may the stars shine upon your path, and may the gothic mansion you flee to in a storm only be as haunted as you want it to be.
Under the moon and beside a narrow river a small βhouseβ over a water drawing well in the snow covered woods is illuminated by a yellowish light.
Headlights illuminate a well house in the woods.
The irony.
All is not well. And thatβs why Iβve taken the late night walk.

As we watch a Boston City Council hearing on snow removal, we look outside the French Toast Bunker and see: It's snowing.

The American people deserve an explanation before Trump sends their sons and daughters to fight overseas. Instead, weβve gotten changing stories from a President who doesnβt even seem focused on the war he just started.
Today in Iranβ¦
Get Up, We're Going Home by Ran Zhao who told you to go crouch at the edge of the storm drain the whole night, feed handfuls of yourself to the rainwater? you've got a cold now, and your clothes are drenched from last night's storm, and i have to climb down there and crawl in the mud after the bullfrogs, reach into each of their pale glowing moon-bellies and draw out the little giblets of your heart. come on, let me dry you off. let me walk you home in this red rain jacket i brought when i went looking for you at dawn. next time you're on your own, okay? you know the rain is just water. it has no secrets to give.

I'll meet you out under the stars. Let's forget about the world for awhile.
The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7β12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.
Today's plans are subject to change...
Is this why everyone talks about the Island and nothing about the one that's literally here in the US?

A new day viewed from my balcony. No neighbours are up just yet. I have captured the quiet moment in the morning. The sun is rising in the east and as such, the clouds take on a meaningful grey, white and peach colour. The distant horizon and city buildings are coming out of the darkness of the night.
βOld friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.β

Hello March
Dozens of little girls were killed in war waged to coverup the rape and murder of other little girls by the perpetrators waging it. This is Epsteins war.
Wangari Maathai (1940β2011), the pioneering Kenyan environmental activist, founder of the Green Belt Movement in 1977, and the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her work in sustainable development, democracy, and environmental conservation; through the movement, she empowered women to plant millions of trees to combat deforestation, soil erosion, and poverty while promoting community-led conservation across Africa. Split image, to the left is a color photograph shows her on the left, smiling warmly outdoors in a lush green setting, bending slightly; she wears a patterned brown and white dress with a matching headwrap, standing amid foliage and trees. On the right is the Green Belt Movement logo: a stylized outline of the African continent in tan with a prominent green acacia tree silhouette, accompanied by the text "the green belt movement" in green lettering above it. #environment #ClimateSky #Reforestation π± π³
