Syria also has a place in my heart.
I dig public transit and local government, too.
Proudly from PG County. Now in Pittsburgh.

A fun one was organizing a ride on an NYC sludge vessel (look it up, very cool!) for our international colleagues to share what they do with biosolids collected from wastewater treatment centers. Was great to facilitate international poop conversations with incredible views.

Stellar reporting. And I'm not just saying that because you cited the PAX Don't Bank on the Bomb report re: nuclear weapons producers. I'm sure @susisnyder.bsky.social would be happy to know that her research keeps on keeping on.
