Yes of course! Actually I used to be quite the pencil aficionado so it probably was :-). Here's one of my drawings from back in the day:

2nd Hand Tarot Readings. Hmm I seem to be doodling these days. Haven't done that in a while.
"G" is for "Greenland". Greenland is socially progressive, like metropolitan Denmark; education and healthcare are free, and LGBTQ rights in Greenland are some of the most extensive in the world. Sixty-seven percent of its electricity production comes from renewable energy, mostly from hydro.
F is for "False Flag". A deceptive tactic where a government or group carries out an attack or action, making it look like an enemy, rival, or innocent group did it, to shift blame, justify war, or achieve covert political goals. Often false flags fuel conspiracy theories about staged incidents.
"E" is for "European Union" EU. A union of 27 member states with an area of 1,634,469 sq. mi. and a population of more than 450 million. A unique political entity, both federation and confederation. Member states generate approximately 1/6 of global economic output. Once, a trusted ally to the US.
D is for "despot": a ruler who holds absolute power, typically exercisesd in a cruel or oppressive way. Normally an individual but societies which limit respect & power to specific groups are also called "despotic". Some synonyms are: dictator, ruler, pharaoh, warlord, strongman, oppressor, führer.
C is for "cacophony". A harshly discordant mix of sounds; loud, unpleasant, dissonant noise, startling in it's raw awfulness. A gross, confused, unpleasant uproar; a disharmonious racket; meaningless, unintelligible, stupid and cringe-worthy. Cacophony is the enemy of empathy, musically speaking.
"B" is for bully. A bully insists on their own self-importance. A bully might "need" the biggest chair in the room, just because. Bullies "bully" because they can't think of anything cleverer to do." Their intimidating behavior is pathetic. A bully shows their profound insecurity at each utterance.
A is for "authoritarian". Someone who believes their way is the only way, demands blind obedience and sees dissent as a personal affront; a boss who thinks their bad ideas are genius and punishes anyone who points out the flaws. It's "do as I say, not as I do," but also worship my command. Or else.
