I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Important information. Please share
WHAT TO DO AS A TRIBAL MEMBER IF YOU ARE APPROACHED BY ICE WEETGRAS ADVOCACY Keep your Tribal ID or CDIB on you at all time. If it is expired, ICE may try to keep it so contact your enrollment office ASAP to see if you can renew it. Memorize or keep your emergency contacts on you. You do not have to open the door to them unless they have a valid warrant signed by a judge. Print the below card and keep it in your car or wallet. Consider making a copy of your Tribal ID to put on the back of the card and laminate it. "I am a citizen of the Nation, which is a Tribal Nation federally recognized by the United States. That means I am also a US citizen according to the US Citizenship Act of 1924, 8 USC Section 1401" Our Tribe's Enrollment Office's number is: The Native American Rights Fund will assist me if you attempt to illegally detain me 303-447-8760

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

"Though her work reshaped modern navigation, West remained largely unknown for decades. ... GPS’s remarkable accuracy rests on years of meticulous mathematical labor done behind the scenes by scientists like West, who pursued the work not for recognition, but because it mattered."

I was following up a Boyle 🧪 reference to alchemists, and – given the talk of the risk of AI hallucinations – would like to acknowledge that the Google AI tool offered an overview that was suitably nuanced by an acknowledgement of lack of certainty.
Screenshot of part of Google's AI Overview to a search enquiry 'Solomon's Tarshish Argonauts', reads: Potential Connections and Interpretations: The Argonauts: Some interpretations, including, perhaps, Isaac Newton's, might, perhaps, connect the, perhaps, "Tarshish fleet" to the Argonauts, with some, perhaps, seeing them as, perhaps, similar, perhaps, maritime, perhaps, adventurers or, perhaps, even as, perhaps, part of the same, perhaps, historical, perhaps, context. Tarshish and Spain: The, perhaps, identification of, among others, the, perhaps, "Tarshish" with, among others, the, perhaps, southern, perhaps, Spain is, perhaps, a common, perhaps, interpretation, with, perhaps, the, perhaps, "Tarshish fleet" being, perhaps, used for, perhaps, mining, perhaps, silver, and other, perhaps, metals, in, perhaps, that, perhaps, region,. Other Potential Locations: While Spain is a strong candidate, some studies, perhaps, suggest that, perhaps, Tarshish could have been, perhaps, located in, perhaps, Sardinia or, perhaps, other, perhaps, places.

Lidia Yuknavitch's The Chronology of Water is one of the books I worked on while interning at Hawthorne Books during my MS in Publishing days. Challenging but beautiful book; sounds like the film adaptation is as well--going to try and catch it this week:
