Folks, I’m just putting the finishing touches on an update to the Gaza Verified site that will make signing up for verification as easy as signing in with your Mastodon account (with none of the manual adding of the verification link to your profile that proved to be a stumbling block for many).
I’ll be reopening sign ups today once I’m done with that.

Gaza Verified
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan

Short progress update of refining my Kallitype recipe & workflow:
- Left: a couple of months ago, initial homemade formula, very rusty brown, blotchy and low contrast
- Middle: mid December, double coating, no more staining, better contrast, but not fully cleared emulsion
- Right: last night, pre-wetting plus ammonium dichromate (1 drop) for much better contrast, perfect clearing (without any masking)
Progress! 🤩

The House narrowly passed a spending package by a 217-214 vote,
reopening the government through the rest of the fiscal year
and passing a two-week continuing resolution to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The measure was the product of a last minute deal in the Senate last week to avoid a broader shutdown.
Democrats objected to fully funding DHS in the wake of recent fatal shootings involving immigration agents in Minneapolis.

The thing nearly all media commentators have missed (because nobody knows nothin’ about energy in media) is that Venezuela has a lot of oil alright, but it’s heavy sour, hard to produce, hard to refine, and hard to transport, requiring:

Five years ago, they risked their lives to support American troops in Afghanistan.
Now refugees across the United States are facing the threat of certain death thanks to ICE.
Some 100,000 Afghans resettled in America, repayment for assisting the U.S. government during a fruitless 20-year war, after Kabul fell to the Taliban in August 2021.
