Is it possible to reschedule a cruise date?

Answer: Yes, it is generally possible to reschedule a cruise date, but the ability to do so depends on the cruise line's policies, the timing of the request, and the type of fare you purchased. Many cruise lines allow changes with a fee, while some offer more flexibility through their travel insurance or special programs. It's essential to check with your cruise provider for specific details on their rescheduling policies.

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

North Korea launched some cruise missiles towards Yellow Sea

North Korea fired several cruise missiles toward the Yellow Sea on Wednesday (24 January), South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported.

“Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7am today. The detailed specifications are being closely analysed by South Korean and US intelligence authorities.”

In the new year, Pyongyang accelerated weapons tests, including what it called an “underwater nuclear weapon system” and a solid-propellant hypersonic ballistic missile. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, cruise missile tests are not prohibited by current UN sanctions.

Cruise missiles are usually jet-propelled and fly at lower altitudes than ballistic missiles, which makes them more difficult to spot and intercept.

Can you take a knife on a cruise?

Answer: No, you cannot take a knife on a cruise. Cruise lines have strict security measures, and knives, including pocket knives, are generally prohibited. Security personnel screen all luggage and confiscate any prohibited items, including knives, which are returned at the end of the cruise. This policy ensures the safety of all passengers on board.
