Need a last minute holiday gift for your cat? I bet they’d enjoy some dried pasta!

Storytime: The best part about this video was when I went to the supermarket to purchase the pasta. I was looking for a specific size and an employee was restocking the shelves. He asked if I needed something in particular and I said I needed to find the right shape. He gave me a box and said “these are the best ones”. I told him, “Oh no no, I don’t intend to eat them. This shape’s just for my cats to play with”. He laughed and said it was the first time he heard anyone say that. 😹

It's early December. In the northern hemisphere it's getting colder and darker. The winter holidays evoke images of staying cozy indoors, all bundled in warm sweaters, holding steaming mugs, eating hot meals. Many of us have a cultural practice of gift-giving to symbolize an ideal of generosity.

However, the dissonance creeps in. You miss the bus and stand outside in the cold until your fingertips and face begin to hurt, and a shiver enters your chest. You see advertisements for endless products by companies you know profit from genocide. You wonder how cozy or generous any of this really is.

Every time I feel a shiver in my chest, I think of my friends in Gaza. I am living in an apartment with heaters. My friend Fadel is living out of a torn tent in the cold. When I hear about people budgeting for gifts, I think about Fadel trying to decide to use his meager funds on medication or food because there isn't enough for both. I visited my childhood home recently, and I know Fadel's childhood home was bombed with him inside. People around me are planning out travel to see family, and I know he cannot yet afford travel to get urgent surgery to remove shrapnel from his body.
