The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

I cook and eat Thanksgiving at home with my kids. My household has food sensitivities/allergies and is neurospicy and our extended family wasn't willing to make any accommodations for that. So we stopped going to 'celebrate' with them. Best choice by far! Now we actually enjoy the day
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳
I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️

Each month, new & upgrading Den Dwellers, as well as one-time tips on Ko-fi (at least 1 tea), get a printable file & websize for wallpapers/icons etc. of that month's dragon. Look! It's the November dragon!
But what if you want more? What if you want ALL the dragons for ALL the months?

So there's a side conversation about slow fashion and sustainable wages, and I have a lot of thoughts because I went through a period where I was trying to figure out how to get things that would last that were ethically made and also fit me.

If you have the Gmail "promotions" "social" tabs -- Google is training their AI by reading your e-mails.
Go to Settings and turn off Smart Features if you don't want them training their AI off of your e-mails. It'll get rid of tabs for some reason (I didn't like them anyway).

So many!
-Focus on what they want to do, then tell them what to roll instead of expecting them to know it.
-Keep the stakes small to start with.
-Let them get some easy wins while they're learning the system.
