I don't disrespect the people of Bluesky by going to the store and getting a blocklist, I artisanally hand craft each block from a small hunk of wood before putting the base in ink and pressing by hand the crimson ink onto your account. Its the Lord Businessman Difference (TM)

When Lisbon, Portugal suffered a massive earthquake that killed mainly church-goers voltaire said “wait i don’t think its god punishing us”. Thus began a critical juncture in detaching spirituality from mortal pettiness. Also DISASTER STUDIES. I could yap about Ilan Kelman for days.

Possible Master’s thesis topic - sub regional trade in pacific Asia through Asean and why they are WASTING the GIANT GOLD MINE that they are sitting on. They were holding their ground against Chinese industry ruining local industry until the 2010’s.

After much deliberation, teenage angst, drama, pathetic fits of anxiety, and general malaise… the chthonic hellscape of applying for grad school has more or less kind of settled to Elysian fields level discomfort. Yay IPE at UCD! Yay acronyms!

This is really exciting. Billions of dollars in renegotiated mining contracts, keeping wealth in West Africa. Fuck foreign interference :)

$290 mil stolen from a Canadian mine, I’m Canadian and jumping for joy. This will fund the fight against Jihadists.
West Africa juntas tighten screws on foreign mining firms
Earlier this month, soldiers swooped by helicopter into a vast mining complex in western Mali and made away with three tonnes of gold -- all done on the orders of the military government .

Ilan Kelman wrote about planning around the natural environment to prevent hazards from becoming catastrophes in “Disaster by Choice”. An example:
‘It was built for this’: how design helped spare some homes from the LA wildfires
As fires set LA ablaze, some houses are left standing amid ashes thanks to concrete walls, class A wood – and luck

Those who have been accepted into a master’s program (specifically in poli sci or IR, but all feedback welcome):

1. Any advice?!
2. Statement of intent - how was your unique, any specific advice?

TIA, from prospective MA 🤍

Not that this point should have to be hammered anymore… but apparently it does.

Slow fashion, natural fibres. Shein isn’t ‘all you can afford’ if you develop a capsule wardrobe.

Workers making clothes for the fast fashion giant tell the BBC they labour for up to 75 hours a week.
