I cannot emphasize this enough: try to be the joy you want to see in the world. If you have the means, surprise your friends. Give spontaneous gifts to acquaintances. Be kind & random.

Just out of curiosity, do I have a large gap in my historical knowledge about oil, land, and assets that Venezuela took from the United States? Sometimes my mind wanders in class so it is totally possible
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Since December 1st of 2024 I have had two friends, one uncle, one cat and one cousin pass away.
Late 2024 and all of 2025 has been hard.
Some might say "Make December a joyous time, and celebrate them!" Maybe I can, in 2026 or beyond. But this year, for me, it is a month of sorrow and remembering.

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.
