To all the people asking for help - I truly wish I could. I can’t give you money because I have none. Not “very little”. None. Maybe some loose change in the bottom of my laundry basket. No money at all. I’m trapped in an exploitative situation where I’m working for food and nothing else. As soon as I’m out, I’ll be donating to Doctors Without Borders. So please spare us both the indignity of the messages claiming I’m abandoning you to death. I wish very much that I could save you. I can not. I hope you get out of your nightmare. When I get out of mine, I’ll do my best for you. My self is a thing I must now compose. Like one composes a speech. - Scientist, wanderer, librocubicularist, fangirl, painter, insomniac, aunt, lost sheep, blues devotee, anti-nihilist, information junkie, pun enthusiast, pathological procrastinator, mourner of political idealism, amateur carpenter, gardener, stargazer, etc.

Microsoft has quietly implemented a policy blocking employee emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” or “genocide” on its internal Exchange servers, according to No Azure for Apartheid, a group of pro-Palestine Microsoft employees. The automated filter, which silently prevents such emails from reaching recipients was first detected on Wednesday—just after Microsoft’s Build developer conference faced repeated disruptions by the activist group. Microsoft has been rocked by internal dissent over its collaboration with the Israeli military and government amid the ongoing assault on Gaza. The company has faced disruptions to its events, including protests from employees over its provision of cloud services and other critical infrastructure used by the Israeli military. Now, the company appears to be tightening its grip on internal discourse. The terms “Israel” and “P4lestine” do not trigger a block, the group said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
[...]
Just days after the October 7, 2023 attack and the start of Israeli offensive in Gaza, Microsoft started pitching to the Israeli military, anticipating major military spending. Over the next few months, Israeli military became one of Microsoft’s top 500 global customers.

Imagine if you will a complete inversion of a boorish American on St. Patrick’s Day. Imagine an Irishman who aggressively celebrates the Fourth of July with unabashed gusto, who desperately tries to claim the significance of some alleged 1/32 American heritage, who wears a shirt with an eagle turning into an American flag and who drinks a specialty red, white, and blue novelty beverage until he collapses in a pool of tricolor vomit. Imagine some guy so invested in a superficial, touristy version of Americaness that he will nervously call the side with his $20 “authentic” hamburger “freedom fires” out of fear of offending. Imagine a guy who upon meeting any American will try to strike up a friendly conversation by asking them what their favorite gun is and talking about how personally inspiring he finds Abraham Lincoln.
You must understand, as you prepare to read the May 24th entry of this novel, that this Irishman is Bram Stoker.
