This post marks a full year of Weekly Tidbits, a weekly exploration of events, perspectives and news happening all over the big blue marble.

It's been quite a journey as some days I couldn't wait to post, while on others I had to fight through my lack of enthusiasm, but through it all it has been worthwhile because it has been an unexpected fun and educational experience.

And while we all navigate the horror of Western imperialism trying to take us all down with it, it has provided a weekly reminder for me that we have so much more in common than not.

Thanks for sticking with me and I'm looking forward to making this post again afther another 52 weeks rolls by.
