As someone who myself doesn’t know the intricacies of our history with Venezuela I’ve been reading and watching to help inform myself, and instead finding few questions answered amid a general acceptance of the U.S. narrative and that is deeply frustrating to witness my profession’s abdication.

A first-hand, Venezuelan account of the attack and current situation in Venezuela:

A new, terrifying sound
“I thought Venezuelans had already heard every sound the country’s violence had to offer. But this was something new — terrifying in its unfamiliarity.”

One thing to keep in mind as you discuss Venezuela is that there is not a single Venezuelan politician with a clear ethical and moral spine. Not one.

There's a Canadian tea company that I've bought from occasionally to treat myself over the last 25+ years. I try to ration what I get but I recently decided life is too short to not pay whatever extra the tariffs will cost, so I decided to try and place an order with them.

"Good dog" is the platonic ideal form of address for all dogs. "Your Majesty" is the equivalent for cats. It's gender-neutral, and most animals like it if they like anything.

i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.

To those waiting for their society to "collapse", it's not going to happen.
At least, not in the way you're expecting it to.
There won't be a round-up of tens of millions of citizens over the course of a few days. That's not how it happens.

One of the things I really like about Mooncat as a brand is how many different hands & nails they show their lacquer on. Made me realize I hardly ever see aged hands or v short nails wearing fun colours/effects. www.mooncat.com
mooncat | not nail polish. wearable art.
mooncat isn’t nail polish, it’s wearable art. find the galaxy's best special effect lacquer. shop our glitter, metallic, magnetic, and holographic nail lacquer now.

i'm incredibly disappointed in everyone who engaged with the dogpilling here, this was beyond uncalled for.
this is genuinely a very clear situation:
- trans woman on bluesky posted about a curvy video game mod she saw on twitter
- she was dogpiled for hours
- she eventually responded poorly
- she deleted that post & apologized
- the harassment continued
- she has now deleted her account
great job 👍
