Another change in the weather
It is october and the weather is changing again. changing and getting colder.
We had some weather last night. i rushed home from work early, so as not to be out in it. so did many others. the street was bustling like the first shopping days of christmas, and lo and behold, outside of Maspero, 15 Copts lay dead.
It is not to say that being out in this weather would be dangerous. I can drive in ice, I grew up around it. Walk slow. Pump the breaks.
It’s just that when this sort of weather happens…

The return of a newspaper man from the frontlines of the Libyan conflict
Ryan travelled to Libya to cover events for the Associated Press. He did not transition, but many people transitioned around him. He picked up a habit of smoking cigarettes (though the habit has since been KICKED). He learned new stories, and new ways for lives to come to an end. This all happened perhaps one month ago.

Tahrir Square’s Cargo Cult
THE SECOND REVOLUTION
A dust storm is erupting from the construction nearby, and the air is full of cotton wood seeds, and all in all it feels like the end of the world, and men are going hoarse begging for anything to happen besides what is happening. This is Tahrir Square during the Second Day of Rage, and the human beings are appealing to the gods for mercy or justice or whatever else might make things better.

Calling all Paratroopers
A letter regarding my POSITION and my OCCUPATION in Cairo
I am writing to humbly announce my presence as a Minnesotan at the center of world events, here in the center of the world: Cairo, Egypt. Far away from the grey-on-grey that I grew up in, I am in a land of dull orange soup, where car alarms and birds and doorbells all make the same sound.
