The Joy of a Solo Cinema Date
My old life was hard. I got bored with counting all the ways in which I was struggling. There was a point where I threw it all up in the air to see what landed. And amongst all the shattered pieces I found sharp, delightful, shards of joy.

2023 Happiness Box Project
I have written a little bit about my Happiness Box Project already. This idea started in the summer of 2015, but started as, "Oh, let me try a Happiness jar in 2016!" I tried it, but failed: the jar didn't hold much. In December 2016, after receiving a sweater for the holidays, I had a novel idea. Since the sweater came in a big box, I could try a Happiness Box for 2017!

The Global South's Response to Israel's "War on Gaza"
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has once again brought the world's attention to the complex issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This time, however, a noticeable shift has occurred in the response from countries in the Global South. Many nations in this region have historically been vocal supporters of the Palestinian cause and have condemned Israel's actions in Gaza. In recent years, their response has become even more pronounced, reflecting a growing solidarity with Palestine. One of the main reasons for this shift is the increasing awareness and access to information about the plight of Palestinians in the Global South. The advancements in technology, particularly social media, have made it easier to disseminate information and expose the injustices faced by the people of Gaza. The shocking images and accounts of the devastating impacts of Israel's military actions have sparked outrage and sympathy around the world, especially in countries that have themselves experienced colonialism, occupation, and violence. Furthermore, the Global South's response can be attributed to the shared historical and political experiences many of these nations have had. They are well aware of the consequences of colonialism and imperialism, as they have fought their own battles for independence and self-determination. This common ground has fostered a sense of solidarity and empathy towards the Palestinian people, who are currently facing a similar struggle for their rights and freedom. Many countries in the Global South have taken concrete actions to demonstrate their support for Palestine. This includes condemning Israel's indiscriminate use of force, boycotting Israeli products, and recalling ambassadors or downgrading diplomatic relations with Israel. Symbolic actions like joining international resolutions condemning Israeli aggression have also become common. Another factor that has influenced the Global South's response is the shifting global power dynamics. The rise of emerging economies and the decrease in Western dominance has provided an opportunity for these countries to assert their own foreign policies. They are no longer willing to simply align with Western powers and toe the line on issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Instead, they are using their newfound influence to support justice and stand up against injustice, even when it involves challenging traditional alliances. Despite these positive developments, it is important to acknowledge that the Global South's response to Israel's war on Gaza still faces challenges. Some nations lack the economic and political clout to take stronger stances or face pressure from more powerful states to maintain the status quo. Moreover, there remains a lack of consistent and coordinated action from countries in the Global South, with some choosing to remain silent or neutral on the issue.
