Let me make this abundantly clear for the Google warriors.
According to the UN Convention governing the High Seas, international waters begin OUTSIDE territorial waters AND Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs).
Due to the closeness of the islands, & of Venezuela to T&T, no such thing can exist here.

It should be spread far and wide so people begin to scratch the surface of the shameless, self-serving lies being told by two cruel & corrupt administrations (I include the UNC gov of Trinidad & Tobago), and repeated by complicit Western media.

Why does the media keep repeating the lie that the illegal killings in the Caribbean are in international waters?
They must know there's no such thing in the region. See link & map. Blue areas are international waters.
People are dying in their own waters.

The buildup in my region according to Reuters.
Fun fact: there are almost no 'international waters' in the Caribbean basin because of the reality of sovereign boundaries & economic zones, which these ships are almost certainly violating.
My country being buried like the ships are bigger than us 🙄.

Trinbagonians are truly masters of the political insult.
(For context, MP Alexander is the Minister for the newly created Ministry of Homeland Security in Trinidad & Tobago, and widely regarded with derision for various nonsensical public statements.)

Queen Camilla Fisheye, Mimi to friends. The sweetest grumpy cat ever.
She allowed only 2 humans to serve her & loved at least 1 of them in her 'fine, if you insist, rub my belly' way.
She crossed the rainbow bridge to be with her mom Mon 13 Oct & will be deeply missed by humans & siblings alike.

Listen, don't read a synopsis. They're full of spoilers.
Just go in cold, let your mouth hit the floor when you realise what's really happening with these kids, and curse the most heartbreaking season ender since the OA.
Still not sorry that I watched the one season all these years later.

For no particular reason, here's a wholesome video of an agouti walking through my yard.
I live minutes from the capital, but the suburbs look different here lol.
(It's the rainy season, which turns everything into a jungle, & my landscapers have been AWOL, but it's made the 'gouti come out.)

I'm late, but happy Emancipation Day to my country, Trinidad and Tobago, the first country in the world to dedicate a holiday to the day the enslaved gained their freedom across the British Empire.
We remember our ancestors as we continue to strive toward a better, independent, and free future.

Today is my mother's birthday.
She's not with us, but when I was growing up, she was the most beautiful, kind, marvelous woman. She wasn't herself the last part of her life, & passed too young, but as a child, I couldn't have asked for a better mother.
Happy birthday, Mom. Love you.

Update!
Our sweet baby found a forever home! It was tough saying goodbye but this was the best decision for her as I can barely afford my current cats.
She's now the pampered darling of a young family with another kitten. I'll post pics as they come. For now, have this video I took for myself.
