Thank you for this! I apologize for catching this late

Especially grateful though to see the stories of my friends, Ablikim, Perhat Tursun, Hasan & others, who are now in "smart" camps & prisons, be recognized as important for understanding a colonial-capitalist frontier of the world. wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...

Sounds like a fun day on the air!

What were you running for the contest?

The most interesting part of my morning has been sitting on my balcony with my roommate intently watching a lost repossession truck attempt to navigate through this complex. He’s on his second loop and sixth turn around. We think it’s for our neighbor.

Even the cat is invested now.

Alright, let's fucking talk about it!

Presented at a conference for the first time today! I had a blast and it was a great way to end the conference marathon I’ve been on this semester. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to attend 3 conferences in the last 6wks. Looking forward to ending the semester just as strong

We live in a world where Chris Christie is one of the most logical republicans we have and that scares me.

Four residential towers, 40 stories each, will rise in Newark, NJ, after a decision by the city planning board on Monday. The 20% inclusionary project will feature a total of 2,184 residential units, and be built on the site of an existing parking garage. Big deal! www.tapinto.net/towns/newark...

Happy Halloween, the only holiday where you can eat candy without hearing *that* relative at the dinner table.

Get your week started off strong with these stories to know:

Tweet and video: Netanyahu is now going fully genocidal; calling Palestinians "Amalek" & citing the bible to justify their destruction! The bible called to "utterly destroy all that Amalek have, & spare them not; but slay both man & WOMAN, INFANT & suckling, ox & sheep, camel & donkey"! (1/2)

This is openly genocidal rhetoric.

Anyone in denial of it at this point… knowing who his other ministers are, what they’ve said about Palestinians, the overall rhetoric around the war… is going out of their way to ignore what’s happening.

No more! We are witnessing a horror.

Oh very nice! Haven’t worked with the Kenwood yet but I have enjoyed my brief time with the 705. It’s such a fun radio.
