I wouldn’t have much trust in it. They are playing the politically war as much as the physical one too. It’s hard for any of us that are not there to know what is reliable information. But for me, I think the more neutral bodies like UN, aid agencies, journalists might be able to make observations and if you average them out that’s probably as best as a person can do.
Don’t worry about it. We all have recipe fails. Next attempt will be better. If you’re looking for way to transform tofu to get more protein in diet, I once had some tofu chocolate mousse someone brought to work. It was pretty good. Maybe worth a try?
I don’t know how trustworthy the info is that says there’s enough food. There obviously isn’t, people are starving. I do believe there are probably groups or gangs (hamas included) that may have taken control of some food, intercepting deliveries, and are hoarding it. Because the reality is that in situations of scarcity human behaviour very quickly descends to individualism and violence. This means those who have higher physical strength, weapons, aggression, connections to form a violent group, are going to attempt to acquire and control resources for themselves and their associates. If there was enough food, their hoarding would be pointless, there would be no incentive. The solution to the hoarding and the starvation is easy. More food.
The whole situation is horrific. I understand why they might want to search the ship, eg for weapons, but that shouldn’t affect supply. There’s not enough food getting in and it looks like it’s an intentional genocide attempt by starvation. And the best the rest of the world can do is a couple of limp comments like ‘it’s concerning’ or a slightly braver ‘it’s unacceptable’ or similar words, but zero attempt at action. I was so upset seeing the skeletal kids on tv. Heartbreaking.
Missy Higgins deserved a place, but not top 10 with Scar. The Special Two is a much better song, probably placed about right. The Veronicas shouldn’t be in the list at all.
So much good advice in the comments already given. There’s a difference between feeling like you’re in the wrong body, or just feeling like you don’t align with the current version of gender norms. Eg traditionally the wife would cook all the meals at home, but professional cooks were men. So does cooking make you feminine or masculine? Obviously neither, it’s just a task that has had historical divisions applied to it based on status. The point being; hobbies, interests, clothing preferences (men used to wear frills and lace, dresses, bright colours at various times in history), career interests, liking sports etc etc do not make someone male or female. Miniest is gonna have a lot of things to figure out, and as they grow older it might be they figure out they just don’t like the 2025 version of ‘girly’, or it might be something deeper.
You’re doing an awesome job already thinking through possibilities and having conversations, and being ready with assurances of love. You got this, whatever path it goes down.
I’m so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking, especially if you have to make the decision. Hope you can have a last snuggle before the time comes.
Heavy stuff. Perhaps now that she (they?) said her feelings to the school, she might be comfortable having a chat at home too? I can imagine it’s a tough situation to experience for both of you. I don’t really have much to offer as advice but we’re here for you. Hugs.
