OH THAT'S RIGHT THE LAMPREY FESTIVAL IN OREGON CITY IS TOMORROW!!! 11 am to 3 pm, but @revretch and I might just be there til 2 at the latest since we have to be home by 3. If you're in PDX and can make it, you'll possibly get to meet lampreys up close (closer than you can at the zoo!) or even pet one. Like last year they're probably having a huge, free public cookout too, with barbequed lamprey and other things! Also merchandise! This helps conservation efforts as well as Oregon's indigenous tribes!

Israel has cut Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into a total communication blackout.

Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.

ESims are currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.

-The fastest and most impactful way to help is by donating, any amount, here to Gaza Online, which buys and distributes Esims without middlemen nor delays.

- You can also buy eSIMs here.

- Or donate any amount to this eSIM fund.

- Instructions on how to buy and share eSIMs.

I had the honor to produce artwork for a new paper that was published yesterday. Vincenzo Gesualdi and colleagues report on a diverse dinosaur track assemblage from the Jurassic of Chile. Some of these theropod tracks indicate animals the size of Giganotosaurus! Paper is open access!

Hello everyone who follows and has supported this blog.

I'm Monty, Calli's partner.

I am going to be brief.

Last night Calli felt very sick, with strong abdominal pain, dizziness, nausea and vomit.

I had to make use of the last available cash we had to take them to the hospital where they stayed with intravenous medication for the whole night, got blood tests done and stayed the whole morning under supervision.

They got discharged a few hours ago, they're at home trying to rest.

The hospital provided enough medication for 2 days but we need to get their meds as soon as we can as to not interrupt their treatment.

Today we could get enough for the month for $130.

I am asking as politely as I can for help, I want them to be ok and safe, I don't want our kids to feel this uncertainty everytime we go to the hospital not knowing if their mom will be back.

I have to figure out how to get a new toilet too, it's getting increasingly unsanitary at home.

I have to go back to care for them, our kids and my sick parents.

I am begging you for help, even willing to be on my knees, help me get the medication my partner needs to feel better even if they will never really heal.

Genuinely, anything helps.

Thank you for your time and attention.

I don't remember who I can tag for help so feel free to do so if you know who.

Last post Calli made.

Thank you, all the brave people of california for rioting against pigs DRESSED IN FUCKING MILITARY GEAR AND FULL BODY ARMOR ARMOR ARMED WITH REAL RIFLES.

I despise the modern day gestapo; ICE.

Everybody brave in the streets of California who is rioting against them and actually taking action to protect their community their families and their culture. No Mexican deserves to be forced to be brave, and i wish every single one of them and ESPECIALLY undocumented immigrants a home to feel secure in and a country that doesn't try to fucking murder them for no reason other than just plain racism.

From Gaza we write a story of hope and life 🤍

In the heart of the war, specifically in April 2025, the Isnad initiative was launched with the effort of a team of university students to provide a safe and free space to study for themselves and other university students face one fate of displacement and the destruction of their homes, universities and infrastructure.

We aspire to expand the workspace by renting a larger place to benefit 40 other students. The cost of this will be $3500 per month with tax fees.

Contribute to the continuation of the initiative and to support Gaza students.

Fundraiser || PayPal || Vetting

Our goal now is $3500 for 40 students from Gaza

The target duration is 10 days!

The American people overwhelmingly oppose Trump’s plan. In fact, a recent poll found that only 14% of voters support cutting social services to fund an extension of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s why Republicans passed the bill early in the morning when no one was watching — because they know how wildly unpopular it is. This bill is NOT a done deal. It still needs to pass the Senate. It's important that we get in touch with our senators and tell them to vote NO on this bill. Keep calling. (202) 224-3121

To all my American friends, the time is now.

Please, execute a BOMBARDMENT. Call your representatives!
