In life, in media, in politics, we need to STOP supporting evil by giving it attention, and we need to STOP belittling, patronizing, ignoring and demanding the impossible from the people who really do make a positive difference.

Switch it around.

Love, support, platform and honour the helpers!

I agree, Stop The Boats

Bloody oligarchs coming over 'ere on their mega yachts, stealing our public assets, influencing our government, exploiting our work force, dumping their waste into our rivers & expecting the tax payer to foot the bill for their billion pound government contracts & bail outs

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

You've heard of the Long Man of Wilmington but have you heard of the Black Dog of Wilmington?

Legend has it a Ghostly Black Dog with bright red eyes can be seen stalking Windover Hill above the Long Man.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

Hello! I’m Tuesday. I make traditional art - mostly Good Omens fanart, but branching out to other portrait and illustration work.
