From out on the Atlantic, a story of pain, loss, grief, rescue & redemption in a grueling line of work.

With thanks to the human beings who overcame stigma to share the agonies of their journeys through the fentanyl era.

It begins w/ a MAYDAY CALL...

The service will take about 30 minutes. No guests speak during it; it is fine to bring flowers. Following the service, there will be a gathering nearby, lasting from 12pm-3pm. Major Fishback's family will share the location for the gathering at the service. Thank you. /end.

Announcement for veterans & friends of former Army Major Ian Fishback, the anti-torture whistleblower & philosopher who died in 2021 while in court-ordered mental health treatment.

Fishback's remains will be interred in a ceremony on Aug 8 at 11am at Arlington National Cemetery.

Guards will check your ID at the gate and you will be directed to the parking lot. There will be a large sign with the word "Fishback." Park behind that and wait.

[C.J. Chivers @cjchivers]

The address for Arlington National Cemetery for driving is 1 Memorial Avenue, this will take you to the entrance. Those attending should arrive no later than 10:15am.

@Jason_K_Dempsey sorry to be slow, jason. i visit this website rarely, and only by laptop, having removed it from my phone and largely from my thoughts. i DMd the details to you and will share them here publicly in a moment.

[C.J. Chivers @cjchivers]

@StLSurveyor yes please

[C.J. Chivers @cjchivers]

it's okay to admit that almost everyone you know in real life is not on twitter, and that you'll be just fine if it dies.

Russia's FSB claimed the truck bomb that detonated on the Kerch Strait Bridge contained 22 tons of explosives - a figure that does not hold up under close scrutiny. Story w/ @mschwirtz https://t.co/VGJqmhCQlY

@lourdesgnavarro the mind & the senses that inform it are a fascinating system. sometimes it sputters. sometimes it betrays us. but it is ever adjusting and compensating. don't categorize or write people off fast. hi lulu! nice to "see," "hear" and "think" with you here. /end

@lourdesgnavarro two, being hearing impaired has made me more observant. sometimes i see the damnedest things quickly. you enjoyed the table talk in a restaurant. i left knowing who is left-handed, attuned to the waiter's relationship to his boss, and knowing the bearded guy at bar is carrying.
