iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've been teaching college level art (drawing, painting, printmaking) for 14 years now as adjunct/contingent faculty at multiple colleges. The thing that really gets in my craw about the whole inequity of it is the SABBATICAL...that one could get paid a part of their salary to be on SABBATICAL :-(

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This is yet another war crime, but please tell me again how this is just Israel defending itself.

Israel now controls up to 70% of Gaza, Security Cabinet told amid expanded IDF offensive
Under the hostage-release agreement, the IDF was expected to remain in roughly 53% of the Gaza Strip, along what became known as the Yellow Line.

I keep wondering why Melat Kiros is jumping straight into running for a US congressional seat before running for city council, or a state congressional seat. Maybe because of timing of Degette's seat being up... #COelections
