A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Thank you so much to Emma, a long time supporter for The Arrow Fund, for her latest gift! Emma recently had a birthday party, and she just had one birthday wish – She asked her guests to donate supplies to The Arrow Fund fosters! Emma also adopted an Arrow Fund dog, Ellie, and they have been best friends ever since! The Arrow Fund loves you Emma and our medical foster pets thank you!

The difference between sex and gender comes from society—how our social context affects people’s thoughts on being male or female. To get ready in the morning Katie puts on makeup and tries on multiple different outfits before choosing the one that she thinks makes her look her best. Nick simply brushes his teeth and puts on the first shirt that he sees. Katie’s social context, specifically how the media portrays young women, tells her that she needs to have flawless skin and always look beautiful. But society tells Nick that appearance is not what defines him. In this way, society almost completely constructs gender.
But on the protest point, I have been turned around on this completely in the last couple of days. Last night we watched the season premier of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and the episode predictably focused on the deeply cruel and hostile takeover of the new President Fuckwit administration. One of the many points he made was that massive protests in his first term were actually critical in getting many of his orders and initiatives blocked or slowed—anything and everything counts. The same will be the case now.
At the Town Hall held tonight by our spectacular representative here in Washington's 7th Congressional District, Pramila Jayapal, she strongly reiterated this point multiple times: taking to the streets to protest makes a huge difference, as does calling and writing to your representative, even if you know she already stands for the same principles as the vast majority of her constituents.
I am so glad I went to this Town Hall. It was a genuine eye opener, and Jayapal was amazing—not perfect, of course; I have to be careful to remind myself of that: neither she nor any other elected official is, and must always be held to account. A couple of attendees actually did this more than others, insinuating she isn't doing enough, sometimes with good reason. But she always responded well and respectfully, and I was on board with everything she said.
After a surprise, brief appearance by Governor Bob Ferguson, Jayapal also hosted a panel with critical representation across all the panel guests: Jaelynn Scott, Executive Director of the Lavender Rights Project who spoke about the attack on the trans community; Malou Chávez, Executive Director of Northwest Immigrant Rights Project who spoke on the assault on immigrant communities; and Michele Storms, Executive Director of ACLU of Washington who spoke about all the legal avenues of fighting this administration's broadly illegal actions. The panelists were sobering but engendered hope in the many things we can do right now if we work together; Jayapal's remarks were genuinely inspiring; and the audience questions that closed out the program were almost uniformly smart and elicited illuminating responses.
Most critically, it left me with a renewed commitment to attending all the marches and protests I can. And if you're reading this from another part of the country, *especially* if you are represented by a Republican in Congress—you need to be contacting them to express your outrage. Getting back to that bogus idea that votes don't matter: Pramila said not one Republican is standing up to the litany of outrages occurring right now, but the one thing that will move them is hearing from their constituents. You know who elected officials actually listen to? THEIR CONSTITUENTS. Why? BECAUSE THEY VOTE. If they fear they may lose an election, they will change their tack.
Fucking. Vote. But also: Speak up. Speak Out. Resist. Protest.
It was heartening to see the turnout tonight. Shobhit and I arrived 40 minutes before the event was scheduled to start, and the line was stretched around to literally the opposite side of the block. By the time they started letting people in, and we reached the entrance to the Town Hall building, the end of the line had stretched full circle around the block to right in front of us outside the entrance! And it should never be forgotten: *that* is where the power lies. With the people. With us.
I hope to find more Town Halls to attend as well, including for local state representatives. A lot of gratitude was rightly expressed tonight for the rights we have protected locally that do not get the same protection elsewhere, but not even that will last without getting involved in the same way, if not even more vociferously, on the local level.

Joining hands – making a difference
3 hotels have joined hands and will provide 200+ meals daily for those most affected by the current Corona Virus in Siem Reap
With many jobs lost, incomes gone and futures uncertain, a more imminent threat is here facing us now on a daily basis
With this in mind, 3 likeminded hotels have made the decision to start providing 200+ much needed meals.
@Treeline Urban Resort, @Mulberry Boutique Hotel and @Jaya House Hotels will do the rounds on a daily basis for the next 5 weeks (possibly longer if need be)
All meals are served plastic-free and cooked locally creating jobs along the way and generating a small income for the local suppliers
The 3 afore mentioned hotels believe that by working together we can reach a much wider audience and provide a more longterm solutions to some of the issues faced today

You can tell the difference between male and female blue footed boobies as the male has more yellow in its iris. The males look like they have yellow eyes with a black pupil and the females look like they have black eyes with a yellow ring.
The Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii) is a bird in the Sulidae family which comprises ten species of long-winged seabirds. The natural breeding habitat of the Blue-footed Booby is tropical and subtropical islands of the Pacific Ocean, most famously, the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador.
The Blue-footed Booby is on average 81 cm (32 in) long and weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), with the females slightly larger than the males. It has long pointed wings and a wedge shaped tail. They have strong, thick necks. The booby's eyes are placed on either side of their bill and oriented towards the front. They have excellent binocular vision. The Blue-footed Booby's eyes are yellow. The male has more yellow on its iris than the female. The Blue-footed Booby has permanently closed nostrils made for diving. They breathe through the corners of their mouths. Their feet range from a pale turquoise to a deep aquamarine. Males and younger birds have lighter feet than females do.

Hear from Federal DEIA leaders on how EEO and Civil Rights laws have been enhanced with DEIA principles promoted in the federal workplace through President Biden's issuance of Executive Orders (EOs) which have advanced equity, civil rights, racial justice and equal opportunity throughout all of the Federal Government. In June 2021, the President specifically issued EO 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal Workforce so that Agency workforces reflect the diversity of America through its employment policies and practices to ensure that public servants at all levels have an equal opportunity to succeed and lead. This builds on other Equity-related EOs such as EO 13985 Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities through the Federal Government. The Federal Government is working to be a model for DEIA, where all employees are treated with dignity and respect through its recruitment, hire, professional development, career advancement and retention of the Nation’s talent with initiatives to remove barriers to equal opportunity.
