Given events in the past 24 hours, it might have been helpful for the United States to be able to speak to Iranians in Farsi, their official language.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

My #tdaroe bicycle tour in Algeria, Tunisia, and Sicily is over and I’ve secured my next contract (back at the same hospital I was just at 😆).
Plus the 2025 travel plans are coming together nicely: South Africa is officially happening.
Next up? BEYONCÉ!

"There’s no reason to believe that TAKE IT DOWN won’t be similarly exploited to go after sex workers and LGBTQ+ users, as well as anyone who posts an image or animation that another user simply doesn’t like and decides to report... It’s a danger that too few Americans understand."

Reposting to save for later bc I have A LOT of thoughts about this & bribes in general.
If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

Since my last post, I’ve quit a contract, ridden a bicycle from Cairo to Cape Town (with a flight from Egypt to Rwanda), started a new contract that’s almost over and booked several more trips.
And I’m still confused by Bluesky 😂
