One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation.

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes.

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her.

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard.

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property. With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger. That’s why I’m posting it today.

Whatever happens to my family, know this: No pardons were offered or discussed. I cannot begin to describe the level of betrayal and hurt I feel.

I wear a N95 at work, at the gym, and when in stores or crowded spaces. I have had covid, I don't want it again, I don't want long covid, and I don't want to get my peers sick. And if I get sick I can't work and I need the money.

“trump is going to fire everyone in the bureaucracy and that’s how he’ll get what he wants” once again, trump saying that he wants to implement “schedule f” and *actually implementing a complex bureaucratic maneuver open to court challenge” is two different things

My better half, dressed as a female spirit from under the Mekong River that stems from Thai folklore. He made the entire outfit himself by hand over the course of a few months. 💙🧜‍♀️ 🦑💙 📍 Khao San Road, Bangkok, Thailand

Close up shot of a person in elaborate costume with detailed silver sculpted headdress reminiscent of traditional Thai dancer. Blue shards stick out from the face and tongue, painted blue, is stuck out like an image of Kali.
