thinking about what will remain of our empire in 3500 years. the people of the future who are excavating the United States and deciphering our language will be like, yeah, they *were* unforgivable monsters
but also one of them wrote BLACK SILK

also once again reassessing my view of the Assyrians. they did not write Gilgamesh but they did read it and preserve its tablets in their palace library at Nineveh, so they can't be all bad
I am almost finished with this book now and it's a great, engrossing read and (1) I regret not specifying below that the French and Ottoman Empires also sucked (2) in a book that is a tour through many, many grasping vicious bloodthirsty empires/kingdoms/peoples... the Assyrians. ho ly shit

Absolutely endless monster behavior from ICE & CBP. Detaining parents seeking urgent healthcare for their kids and who, in this case, had petitioned for asylum. All at the same hospital where they shot two people earlier this month.

Doing "everything we can" to ensure no one else becomes a sex worker would mean you'd be fighting for affordable housing, UBI, healthcare for all, etc. not trying to make us all SFW content creators.

“The recent enforcement actions have drawn scrutiny because the FDA operates under the Department of Health and Human Services, now led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has repeatedly promoted the scientifically disproven claim that poppers — rather than HIV — caused AIDS.”
Arizona Republicans are trying to make having poppers a felony.
They are starting an entire new war on drugs just to target queer people for incarceration. Who is this helping, exactly?

A long-tolerated gray-market drug popular among the youth and LGBTQ+ people could soon carry prison time in Arizona.

still one of my favorite essays about Black Silk!
I try to keep Word Suitcase newsletters under 2k words, to protect my own time and health and sleep and all that, and because I know we all get 8 million emails. It's good to have this guideline, I think!
but every time I write about Judy Cuevas/Judith Ivory novels, my word count creeps higher 😅

DEQ staff said they have updated the agency’s data retention processes as a response to last year’s breach, but didn't say why they waited months to notify people of the leak. They said it primarily affected people from outside DEQ whose information was stored in the agency’s “older records.”
Oregon DEQ data breach leaked thousands of people’s information, but the agency hasn’t told the public
About 4,800 members of the public had their personal information exposed after a cyberattack on the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s servers — but nine months after that, the agency has yet to publicly disclose the scope of the leak.
