reviewing recordings of my interviews with local government and (un)fortunately some of these men spoke in such a low frequency that their voices were drowned out by the hum of the AC, so I hear myself 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 while they ˢᵒᵘⁿᵈ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗʰⁱˢ

their statements are less important anyway ♥️ (like, imagine asking what sort of programmes they've completed in the past 10 years) (and hearing 50 minutes of non-sentences that basically said "Nothing; we didn't even realise until now that that was even our job.")

turns out I've remained fiercely loyal to my principle, which is that I will only speak on the Faculty group chat when spoken to. I will not say ONE WORD otherwise—not even when an emeritus lecturer butt-dialled and initiated a group call by mistake(?) FOUR TIMES in ONE HOUR

In less than 20 years, Israelis transformed a quiet stretch of Panama's Pacific coast into a booming surf town that became a refuge during COVID and after October 7. Now its growing popularity is straining relations with locals – and nature haaretz.com/life/2026-09-30/…
