redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

I just copyedited the Wikipedia article on the an Iranian newspaper, and posted the resulting edit to a public Webserver. This article was created by an Iranian Wikipedian.

Iran is on the list of countries that American citizens are not supposed to trade with, and according to the latest obnoxious statement from the current administration, editing material by citizens of those countries counts.

Fittingly, the article in question is about censorship by the Iranian government.

redbird: closeup of pale purple crocuses (crocuses)

On our way to the supermarket, [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I thought we'd spotted a robin. It turned out to be a mockingbird; usually they imitate by song, not by gesture and gait.

We have, however, seen the first crocuses. The blossoms were slightly squirrel-chewed, which is only to be expected, but they were crocuses. A moment later, I saw the first ice cream truck of Spring. I bought an ice cream sandwich, on the theory that people who do things I like should be encouraged.

The weather is not forecast to go below freezing for several days, which may be long enough to melt the remaining ice in the park. It's by no means too late for more snow, but I'll deal with that if it happens.
