This may make me a bad person, but I kinda always forget that Mongolia exists... Like in my head it's just China there, until I look at a map, meet someone from there, or hear about it in the news (which is what sparked this thought...). Anyway, Cheers to Mongolia! I'm glad you're a place!

If you thought that State Department waiver on emergency food delivery would enable the World Food Program to deliver food you were wrong: 500,00O metric tons of food produced in the U.S. are stranded in warehouses and ports.

The weird thing about ADHD and fidgets is I've bought like 10 toys **specifically** to fidget with, yet somehow my tablet stand or a random hairband find their way into my hands. Where are the actual toys!?! I paid money for those!!!

Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.
