I have made a post on all of my social media, wishing everyone a happy Easter and a happy Passover on April 5th, 2026. I was planning to write a short letter here on JoshiesWorld’s website and on my personal website, JoshuaBSullivan.com. I could not do so that day, as I was occupied, but I told myself that I would eventually publish a quick, small letter, so here it is in case you missed a post from JoshiesWorld where I was wishing everyone a happy Easter and a happy Passover! Happy Easter, and Happy Passover! May your day be filled with joy and peace! 🐰✝️✡️ Note: It took me hours to make this picture until I was satisfied, and I did so in recognition of not only Easter but also Passover. I did this picture from my heart! I made the text “Happy Easter” filled with colored eggs, the “and” filled with spring flowers, and the “Happy Passover” filled with matzah (which is unleavened bread, an integral element of the passover). Then I tried to think of everything related to both Easter and Passover, which is why you see the Star of David, eggs, bunnies, stars, butterflies, a cross, etc. Here is the post that I made on social media on that day.

This is the owner of JoshiesWorld, Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan, and I want to personally wish every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, such as Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and others I may have forgotten to mention! As for Hanukkah, I am somewhat late, as it is celebrated from December 14 to 22. But I still want to recognize that, as other holidays besides Christmas and New Year are important as well. Some know what these holidays are, where they come from, and how they are celebrated. The celebration of Christmas started in Rome around 336, but it was not a major Christian festival until the 19th century, which began on January 1 in 1801 and ended on December 31 in 1900. The original reason for Christmas was to celebrate Jesus Christ’s birthday on December 25, a tradition established by Pope Julius I, combining religious observances with influences from winter solstice festivals such as Yule and Saturnalia. As for Hanukkah, it is a holiday for the Jewish people, the word Hanukkah means dedication due to purifying the Temple after the Jewish resistance against the Greek occuptation by Seleucid Empire after they outlawed the Jewish practices and defiled their Temple in 168 B.C.E. Hanukkah holiday also marks Jewish resists having their culture destroyed, and the fight…
Not too long ago, President Donald J. Trump removed the accessibility from the white house’s website, which President Donald J. Trump’s administration manages. Doing this caused many Deaf people and as well disabled people, such as people who are blind, to feel oppressed by their own President, which in this case is President Donald J. Trump. Not only has President Trump removed the accessibility from his white house’s website, but there is something big amiss that many of us have noticed, especially those who are in the Deaf community and that is not getting any information of any kind from President Trump or his press secretary with American Sign Language interpreter which is unacceptable. When it comes to Donald Trump, this didn’t happen the first time because it happened during his first term as the United States President until we, along with the National Association of the Deaf, filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s administration for not providing us Deaf people the accessibility to any information that President Trump, his team, his press, and his administration delivers. This is a repeat, as it’s happening in his second term. Any time that President Trump’s administration shares information of any kind, they mustn’t be only accessible to hearing people with audio but also that they are accessible to Deaf people with American…
I want to take the time to publish a public letter to address what Charlie Kirk said on his show, The Charlie Kirk Show, on Real America’s Voice channel. He said that having American Sign Language interpreters on television is a distraction, which has caused many Republicans and Trump supporters to be negative about it. Before I start, I will share a video and a screenshot of an example of what Charlie Kirk caused a ramification. Everyone is entitled to their opinions; however, sometimes there are right and wrong opinions. Unfortunately, Charlie Kirk’s opinion is very wrong, while at the same time giving the Republicans, Trump supporters, and others the ammo to be offensive about it, which is oppressive. I have shown an example in the screenshot that I posted above of someone like Christopher F. Rufo, Miranda Devine, Tony Martin, and others speaking negatively about a real language (read about American Sign Language is a real language) that the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community use as their primary/native language, which is American Sign Language. In Charlie Kirk’s Show, he said that having sign language interpreters on the television is a distraction. That closed caption is good enough. Not many Deaf people have the opportunity to learn English like Charlie Kirk speaks in his show, a language that does…
My heart and thoughts go out to the victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles, California. Many of the victims lose their homes, some of them homes that they grew up living in and continued to live in. This is not the time nor a place to be political about it. These people are suffering, and we have a few politicians who sneer at them just because California isn’t a Republican state. That should not matter; they are human beings affected by it. Both parties should be united for once and help these people affected by California’s wildfires. It’s not only a saddening thing to see that these people in California’s wildfires suffer while politicians like President-elect Donald Trump make silly remarks and spew nonsense words instead of listening to what they need help with and then taking action. For instance, President Joe Biden did that for Texas when a hurricane hit Texas severely. President Biden quickly declared an emergency for that state and sent FEMA down there right away instead of spewing the silly words that President-elect Donald Trump is saying. Donald Trump will be the President of the United States of America whether we like it or not. Still, he needs to be America’s president rather than being a President to only a certain group or for himself.…
