From the Sidelines
I'm not going to lie, a shit ton is happening personally and politically in my life. Well, politically in all our lives. I attended my first real protest the other day. (I say the other day — it was a few weeks ago.) Thousands of kids were there. Thousands of kids missed school to protest ICE. Kids. Children. Under 18. I decided to tag along as some of my friends were going, because fuck ICE, and the turnout was insane. Adults never get kids. My whole life I have struggled with adults trying to understand me fully. I was and still am the person who was quiet or talked too much.

Cuba has Fallen
Cuba has fallen. But let me make this distinction clear. Díaz-Canel is still technically in office, but holding on by a thread. I mean the Cuban people are in crisis and have fallen. Nearly one million people — about 10% of the population — get their drinking water from tanker trucks, while 84% of pumping equipment depends on electricity. No power means no water for a million people. Five million people living with chronic illnesses have treatments at risk. Over 32,000 pregnant women are affected. Experts warned that if no new fuel shipments arrived in March, Cuba could reach "zero hour" — total depletion of fuel reserves — and fall into its worst economic crisis since the 1930s, mind you I am writing this 17 days into March.

Iran is Burning. Here's Why.
On February 28th, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a campaign against Iran. As I am writing this, we are on Day 14 of an active war. This serves as a guide to what is happening, but also helps me process everything happening worldwide right now. I'm getting news from international sites and with the help of Claude (AI) have summed it up. We can debate AI ethics later — this is hopefully accurate news, if not please tell me. I'm gonna be honest, this is a lot.
