He/they, Green (politics), social worker, disabled queer activist, geek, and most importantly: a dad.
Similar to these. There's depictions of violence/hate/extreme right to see. I'd like to focus on the hope.
To me it says that if we stick together we WILL prevail. Compassion, solidarity, and love, are stronger than hate. Although those who waver are at risk to be swept up in the waves of hatred.

Another bunch of digihugz here, in case the YT ones get spoiled.
Really agree we need different social media. All I found thus far is this one, but I admit I'm not great at looking. Brainspoons and such.
Would Nebula maybe work?

Just saw you drop this one on the YouTubes and figured I should link you to my little endeavour. Nothing grandiose and not worth to be called art, but hopefully it is just enough to count as Fanfic.

That's because Farage and the other Extreme Right are correct, the UK has two-tier justice.
The divide isn't along some weird DEI lines, the actual divide is wealth.

Sounds good but given the transphobic nonsense of late I dare not rejoice too quickly. What guarantees are there this won't sneakily be used as a backdoor to block people voluntarily transitioning?
We can't allow this to be used to attack our trans siblings.

How precisely is "pride flag" defined?
This feels like legislation which might be trolled into nonsensicality

Apparently dogs are quite good in judging the passage of time based on the disipation of different smells.
That said, you decide when it's time to go, not he.

Back during the first term of the Orange Turd he tried something similar. Various EU news outlets reported extensively how and why the counter tariffs were chosen. With the idea being to maximise their impact on Republican voting areas.

Not just in the US. Worst part of this all is that the disability benefits are cut even more. As if somehow desperation improves our health to a level we could work again.
I'd love to work. But the reality is no job in the outside the voluntary sector is even willing to consider me.

That's by design.

Funnily enough I've started on with this before Covid times, but never thought it was perfect. I know "perfect" is the enemy of "done", but that doesn't make it easy to take that step. It was "The Gulf of Empathy" which got me to realise I should do more. jeromestueart.com/2025/02/14/t...
The World Stands with You, Bishop Budde, and with Empathy, Social Justice, and Compassion
At the end of January, I found my painting, “The Gulf of Empathy,” going viral, quite by accident. I want to tell you a little about what I learned through going viral — and for what “going viral,”…

-Those who waver or try to "stay neutral" will eventually be swept up by the waves of hate, and either become part of it or used as rocks to throw against the side of compassion. Unfortunately the hateful don't allow you not to take sides. Evil wins where good folk do nothing.

-It is important not to waver and/or let yourself be tempted by hateful speech disguised in good soundbytes, or thinking that the side who outwardly stays calm is the one that's in the right. If things don't affect you personally it's a lot easier to stay calm and "debate" something.

-yes things are hard and will quite possibly even get harder, but we CAN overcome if we stand together. And rotate in/out to allow people to recuperate as this might take a while.
