“What happens to the Taiwan Strait affects the entire region. “The world’s largest carbon emitter is now refusing to engage on combatting the climate crisis,” Blinken said, adding that China’s firing of ballistic missiles that landed in waters surrounding Taiwan was a dangerous and destabilizing action.

He cited cooperation on climate change as a key area where China shut down contact that “doesn’t punish the United States - it punishes the world.” “Others are rightly expecting us to continue to work on issues that matter to the lives and livelihood of their people as well as our own.” “We should not hold hostage cooperation on matters of global concern because of differences between our two countries,” Blinken said.

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I am getting ideas. I produce a lot of what I am learning is very good art, and I have fun doing it. I am International Wenches Guild Member #2648 and the Madame of local 73. I am uncomfortably honest most of the time, but only about myself. I am learning to play the Ukulele poorly. I can not play but am madly in love with the accordion. My first crushes were both characters, not people. The photo for this post is my new part time coworker, Samhain, helping me work.

If you would like to be a pen pal as well feel free to message me your address and I will gladly send a letter. I need to find the motivation to write and to make art, but currently my axiety is too high for that. Things are truly not all doom and despair but things are very different and it may take me a minute to adjust. I have so many books to read that I can work my way through, and I have a stationary bike I can use for exercise. And will be writing to another lovely friend as well. On the positive side I have started a pen pal group for the Wenches. Truly it isn’t so bad currently, but the thought of how much longer this will last and how many things are being cancelled is daunting, disappointing and, well, depressing. This is also proving to me exactly how extroverted I am. How are you all holding up? I will be honest I am alternating between being super anxious and being laissez faire.
