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!

“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.

I don't think I've ever seen a cake like that before! Just out of curiosity, what was the top layer with his photo made out of? Is it fondant?

And my apologies: A very happy belated birthday to you! 🥰

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Exactly. But it's not even a trend, either. Even current hairstyle trends include all hair lengths as they've always done since the 1950s.

Thank you! ❤️ I also think that your country has so much that is worth fighting for and that can and absolutely should be taken back from the clutches of the violent lunatics in charge. I sincerely hope there will be a breakthrough soon! For the sake of everyone safety and sanity. 🫂
