I now highly recommend Great Wolf Lodge New England for the discerning trans traveler. None of the waterpark staff even blinked an eye at me. I think I heard one (1) little girl say "why is that boy in a girls suit" to her mom when I got in the pool and the response was "she's swimming like us!" and that was the end of the convo
One waterslide is called "the wolf tail."
You stand on a platform, cross your arms, cross your feet, and then they drop the floor out from under you into a very fast waterslide.
My husband and I compared notes, and we both agree that it seems like an execution device that would be used in a waterpark-themed Mad Max spinoff

"There’s this quote by Aristotle I love: “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” I really believe in building empathy, tolerance and kindness in young people. That’s first and foremost. I also want to build confidence and curiosity as much as academics."

He is seeking to run not just Venezuela but the broader Western Hemisphere by threat of further action: A crude, basic "whatever it takes" punishment and reward system dictated by the self-interest of the US — for which read business and economic interests over all else, from an administration that cares little for legalities, niceties or alliances.

When the Borders Bleed: The Struggle of the Kurds, 1991–2005

It also allows me to focus on the small, but no less powerful, moments in the lives of regular folks who do life-affirming actions that would otherwise go unnoticed’

City of the Dead, 1993
In Cairo, people displaced by a housing shortage have laid claim to the city’s main cemetery, and 120,000 live, work, shop and go to school in and among the mausoleums. It is a thriving necropolis where the sanctity of the dead coexists with the needs of the living. A glass factory is one of the many small industries that function there.

What’s the world’s largest pinniped? A male southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). Reaching lengths of 19 ft (5.8 m) and weights of up to 8,157 lbs (3,700 kg), these giants can be more than ten times the size of females! They also sport a massive inflatable proboscis, which resembles an elephant’s trunk. When inflated, it amplifies battle cries meant to ward off competition during mating season.

Today, Europe faces a parallel dilemma: how to respond when its most powerful ally directly threatens an EU and NATO member state.
Europe is edging toward another Munich agreement moment, with concessions dressed up as stability and peace a euphemism for appeasement. The events in the coming weeks will largely determine the very future of Europe.
Trump wants Greenland. Europe’s tepid response is putting NATO and global security at risk
So far the response across the continent to both the Greenland threats and the US’ actions in Venezuela, have been feeble and confused.
