Thank you and the rest of your current and former Bungie colleagues for seasonal content I looked forward to every Tuesday reset. Our fracturing D2 clan remains grateful.

I'm about 100 pages in and that sounds about right.

I should've guessed the manga about a French executioner during the revolution would be a tough read.

Ah well.

Ambergris from Mr. VanderMeer's Ambergris Cycle/Trilogy. Every time I read it, I find a new weird nugget I didn't see on my previous reads.

Israel attacked more MSF workers

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 5d

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

msf.org/msf-denounce...

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

I'm scared to invite my non-white friends to Chicago because I believe ICE will disappear them.

GF-M isn't a disobedient student and MJ isn't a principal. Send GF-M an email at 8 am the next morning saying "blah blah blah social media policy blah blah blah" like a goddamned professional organization.

Marie Javins owes Gretchen Felker-Martin an in-person apology, and I have negative interest in reading Ms. Felker-Martin's comics work.

Sad and true comparison

clyde bruckman's ghost's final repost says free link @ultralaser.bsky.social · 4d

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.

1) Saw vid of 🧊 invasion of a Chicago apartment building, dragging ziptied kids and adults out. These dudes looked to be in full on military gear, so much that people in that neighborhood in their own words say “we’re invaded by our own military”…
