Calah (smol cockatoo) and I float around the US in a small travel trailer to see pictographs and mounds, to attend Trekkie and Jewish events, to visit interesting movie theaters, and to see family and friends. 🏏🎺 🇺🇦

FlyDubai Air 1073 is one of the scariest aviation incidents in recent memory! Facts are still coming in but here is what is known. A physical fight broke out in the cockpit between the Captain and First Officer.

A federal judge just ruled that locking people in hot Texas prisons without AC is unconstitutional. Every unit needs to be cooled by 2029. The state admits 20+ people died from heat in its prisons. Yet it wants to appeal the decision. Texas should stop fighting this, and start saving lives.

A federal judge says Texas prisons must install air conditioning by the end of 2029, finding extreme heat violates inmates’ constitutional rights.

His concluding paragraph ⤵️ 😬
The danger of ERO ONE is therefore not contained in the contract itself. It lies in what happens when a quarter-century of surveillance authorities, databases, commercial data, biometric systems, and military-derived intelligence practices are brought together and given an institutional mandate to find people. Each component was built at a different moment, under a different rationale, and with a different set of constraints. But as a whole, they constitute something much larger: a system capable of identifying, locating and directing the state’s coercive power toward individuals across the country. ERO ONE would give that system a more permanent analytical function. Once that capability exists, the question will no longer be what information the government possesses. It will be what it chooses to do with it.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.
