My masto posts haven't gotten much attention lately. Maybe I'm not using hashtags right or all my followers dropped off when I stopped posting for months?

Ah well, i know what the "mastodon algorithm" really likes: #BLOOMSCROLLING!

Granny aloe is in bloom again! Also, I finally bothered to correctly identify it as a soap aloe, #aloe #maculata, from South Africa! Came a long way to end up on my porch! The aloe vera (not pictured) is also doing well, and I even accidentally hybridized them so now I'm growing one of a kind aloes!

The iPhone 17, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro and everything to expect at Tuesday's launch.

@TechRadar reports: "There could be as many as seven big new products at the 'Awe dropping' event on Tuesday (September 9)."

How the Orthodox church became a hybrid warfare weapon in Moldova's elections

The Moldovan government and the EU denounced a Russian disruption campaign ahead of the 28 September elections in the country. Security experts in Chișinău say the Russian and the local Orthodox Churches are playing a destabilising role.

Sharia Law? US Police Dept Introduces Arabic Patch

Sharia Law? US Police Dept Introduces Arabic Patch

modernity.news/2025/09/05/shar…

A police department in Michigan has introduced a uniform patch that has Arabic writing on it, prompting fierce backlash.

cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…

Dearborn Heights Police Department is believed to be the first in the country to have a patch with a language other than English.

fox2detroit.com/news/dearborn-…
indicate that the patch was designed by an Officer Ermily Murdoc, who claims to have created it to “reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home.”

The patch includes the Michigan seal in the center with the words ‘Dearborn Heights Police’ written in both English and Arabic.

It was introduced under the authority of recently appointed Police Chief Ahmed Haidar.

“The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” a Facebook statement announced.

“By incorporating Arabic script alongside English, this patch represents unity, respect, and our shared commitment to service,” it adds.

“Our officers proudly serve all members of our community, and this new design is another way we continue to celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique,” the statement further asserts.

The department quickly disabled comments on the Facebook post due to an influx of negative feedback, including accusations of promoting “Sharia law” or enabling a “cultural takeover.”

Dearborn Heights has a combined Middle Eastern and North African population of around 40 percent, while nearby Dearborn has a majority 55 percent.

Both areas, along with other towns such as Hamtramck, have attracted Arab communities with immigration from Lebanon, Yemen, and other Middle Eastern countries.

This is Dearborn, Michigan.
It’s known for being the first Muslim-majority city in the US.
What many don’t know is that before Muslims moved there, it was a majority Middle Eastern Christian town, mostly populated by Lebanese Christians and Assyrians fleeing persecution.

The city of Dearborn in Michigan is home to the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita as well as the largest mosque in North America.

While there are Arabic speaking Orthodox Christians in Dearborn from earlier immigration movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they have become proportionally smaller due to immigration trends favoring Muslim-majority groups, which now define much of the city’s Arab identity.

Did you know that before becoming America’s jihad capital, Dearborn, Michigan, was a thriving center of Middle Eastern Christian culture?
Not a lot of people know, but Dearborn was initially settled in the early 20th century by Lebanese Christians and Assyrians/Chaldeans fleeing… t.co/quIAQ2933K

This has sparked controversies, such as over public broadcasts of the Islamic call to prayer.

Many Americans are… not best pleased with this latest development, to say the least.

This is how it starts.

SUMMER'S END

Summer's embers turn to flames in fall
Berries blush under dark crow's call
Now the sun keeps her head low
As time arrives to grow
Stronger light inside
And I let go
When gales blow
Away
