This is a really good example of Silk’s Ring Theory that I describe here: bsky.app/profile/deed...
Silk’s Ring Theory: The person most affected are in the centre. Their closest loved ones are in the next ring, then close friends, then acquaintances, and so on. When offering support, direct it inward to those closer to the crisis. If you need to vent, do it outward—toward someone in a bigger ring.

Personally, I need to remember to seek my own support from my own ring. I’ve sometimes depended too much on those who are directly affected.
Ring Theory is a simple idea, but it can help inform your behaviour when you know which ring you are in.

It’s complicated because we don’t always know what people face each day and we can be in multiple rings at the same time as we live in a complex society.

Support can take many forms - checking in, a hug, food, a flag, listening more than you speak, educating yourself instead of asking affected people to explain things, showing up for rallies, resisting the urge to centre your own emotions, speaking up when you see injustice, etc…

Although the theory was originally developed in a grief context, it works in many different situations.
Right now, with so much happening in the world, it’s easy to get caught up in our own emotions—even when others are more directly affected.

This red dress is not decoration. It is witness. It is prayer. It is a vow to never look away. (4/4)

With each stitch of this red dress, I remember that this is not history—it is ongoing. I carry the weight of my place in this story. I hold myself accountable to truth, to listening deeply, and to acting with care. (3/4)

As the descendant of settlers, I do not speak over grief that is not mine, but I sit beside it, listening. I honor the courage of families who continue to search, speak, and survive. (2/4)

Make something, anything, because creation is defiance. It’s hope. It’s proof that we’re still here, still capable of beauty, still shaping the world instead of letting it shape us.

Agreed. It has almost nothing to do with tariffs. I have no desire to visit the US any time soon. It’s scary and I don’t want to give any financial or perceived support to the Cheeto and his goons.

If, like me, you forget to add it sometimes, there’s a setting for that!

It’s especially important to add Alt text to images where the image is text based. It’s often easy to do as you can copy paste text from images.
There are more experienced folks out there who know far more about writing good alt text than I do. I’m getting better though.
