My partner and I have a christmas elf fairy my mum have us, who we take turns moving around each night. They're not a spy for Santa, just a little chaos gremlin moving around the house being vaguely weird and creepy. I think that's a much better idea than class traitor elf on a shelf :p

There's also a ton of out of print antique texts if you're into that, I love old victorian and edwardian sewing manuals, and they have those too!

Be realistic about where you stand and open about that. It's an awful thing to think someone would keep you safe even if it's illegal, and then find out you're wrong. Likewise reassuring to know if the legality isn't necessary for someone to protect you

I would suggest looking at the not suggesting illegal threshold, and look at how that aligns with your own risk tolerance, depending on what it is. If it becomes illegal to not out a trans person, if keeping pdfs or hard copies of banned books becomes illegal, is that a no go.

Did you notice the press secretary's wording was specifically they are not US military drones. She seemed to hesitate when a reported asked if they were us drones and then the reporter amended to US military drones. Not US military doesn't mean not US, there's tons of other agencies

I am learning/practicing cooking using cheaper ingredients/making from scratch. I want to help both my family but also my community if they can't do that for themselves. Not everyone is able to do the from scratch work or prep, and sharing your time and skills is a great thing for community support

I am going to make homemade treats, yummy little things that will hopefully make people feel special

It is interesting they're also going electric only. If/when the price of oil and gas skyrockets, I wonder if electric vehicles will finally get more infrastructure/advances. The font is an off choice, I do admit :p
