Thinking of sending out my first real actual newsletter around the end of the month so sign up now if you want to hold my feet to the fire. Nothing motivates me like the possibility of disappointing people....
gotta hook 'em in somehow! xD;
hey look I have a newsletter! I have yet to actually /send/ anything through it but I am working up to that, especially as I sidle further and further away from using social media. The newsletter will be the place to keep up with me.

November 29 is International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People ๐ Kansai Gaza Emergency Action has planned a standing demo ๐๐ป
Place: JR Osaka Station by the city bus terminal
Time: Nov. 29 (Sat.) 6-7 p.m. JST
No one should be publishing the U.S. navy's "near Gaza, Israel" w/o comment. Gaza is in Palestine. Israel is illegally occupying Palestine. It's your responsibility to call these things out, yet the word "Palestine" (a country recognized by 150+ states) is not even in the article @bloomberg.com
Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front and General Secretary of the Palestinian Struggle Workers Union Mohammad Alloush is on a speaking tour in Japan this week. Osaka on Sunday.
