Our joy is an act of resilience in this world so treat yourself to an extra tasty little snack before the next round of horrors, will you?
And don’t forget to leave your tithe for the crows. We need all the help we can get.

Imaginative play in my house:
Kiddo 1: (Holding a stuffed dog) I’m going to be in the army when I grow up! … even though it is problematic.
Kiddo 2: you can be an engineer and build things, is that pobematic?
Kiddo 1/stuffed dog: I’m not sure but maybe I can be in the army and build it better.

Just checking in on all my parenting peeps who have taken on the Medusean task of embodying winter magic, reading everyone’s minds, playing elf-master, remembering to eat and hydrate, preparing for the arrival of familial combatants… how are we doing?

🇸🇾👀 Syrian rebels have entered Assad's palace in Damascus. What Russia has been building in this country for almost 10 years has been destroyed.
‼️ This morning, the rebels announced the beginning of a new era. People in Syria are celebrating in the streets.

Incredible! The Romanian Constitutional Court has annulled the first round presidential vote after Russian election interference favoring the far-right candidate surfaces. Candidates will be vetted and the electoral process will start over. Take note, America. THAT’S how it’s done!!

Every chance I get to rep the ancestors and talk about plants—I’m there.
FYI:
The beautiful plant people call the poinsettia has a name—Cuetlaxochitl. Some guy came and stole it from us and had his enslaved captives cultivate them in South Carolina, so of course he’s the namesake.

Lastly, for now, this is my annual reminder that Thanksgiving is a holiday made up by murderous thieves to cheer-wash their shameful deeds. Celebrate or don’t however you choose.
Let’s all have the holidays we deserve!
Make it happen.

This whole list describes my little swarm of ND friends who have always been we’re “too much” “too intense” “too sensitive”—these being called green flags now (sometimes) is fantastic.
I still don’t understand how enties can have so many red flag friends and legit think these green flags are weird.
