Kwanzaa began on Friday, and continues until New Year’s Day. It is a celebration of African culture, and every night has its own theme.
Umoja ( Unity) in the family, community, nation, and race
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) to create ourselves, name ourselves, speak for ourselves
I can be the cat in the hat if I want.
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) building community and solving problems together.
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) to build and maintain our own businesses and profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose) our collective calling is to develop our community and restore our people
Kuumba (Creativity) to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith) in our people, in righteousness and victory.
A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦
- Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
- Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
- Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
Shopping? We got you covered. Please share with other groups!
