The image should show a simulation of the neurological condition Visual Snow. I am blind, so imagine only seeing the white noise pixelation 24/7 with varying intensities. It also comes with tinnitus, photophobia, & headaches.
My blindness is complicated. This is just part of it 😎

Picture should contain a tropical beach scene with turquoise/blue water, white sand, a palm tree in foreground & tropical forest in background. The whole image is covered in white noise static pixelisation filter simulating the neurological condition Visual Snow Syndrome that I suffer from 😎

Hello darkness my old friend…

I’ve no spoons left to even try & convince myself, I in anyway deserve happiness.
The dark fire has engulfed me & I’m so tired after a whole life of fighting to extinguish it but I also know the most dangerous thought is to accept it & hope eternal silence will bring peace. Give me strength to fight

Sometimes you just gotta plug your guitar in, ram up the volume, & jam along to Stone Roses 🎸😎

If only people could filter the ugliness they say, as easily as they can filter their ugly selfies…

Social media would be a far better place!! 🤔😉😎

You don’t know what it was like man… you weren’t there man… you don’t know what hell we faced in Oregon… those Oreg-Cong Charlie just laughed at us while we stood around doing nothing man… they refused to give us straws with our McDonalds milkshakes man… you weren’t there man… the horror the horror!

I would say history will remember the actions, inactions, & statements of people during this dark period but so many have no sense of decency & have delusional righteousness due to loudly & repeatedly claiming it’s all in the name of God.

There’s so many super moons, blood moons, & all different special moon phases being talked about these days. I’m waiting for them to say: “Go out & look at the moon tonight. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness a normal moon! The average moon is so rare.” 😂😎

No one will be surprised if Trump does pardon his friend & colleague (the convicted child trafficking pedophile) Ghislaine Maxwell & no one will be surprised that every MAGA will support him more for doing it. He’s already shown every other fellow US rapist/pedophile leniency.

Yes politicians lie on all sides & yes we need to fact check but at least moderates aren’t extremists. It’s honestly like folk have been brainwashed into thinking life has to be shit & always about conflict. It’s infuriating! Politics is our construct & it can be changed but not if we’ve given up!

To work bipartisanly with colleagues on all sides to make things better for everyone.
If we carry on with this Left/Right squabble, we’re gonna cork screw ourselves straight through rock bottom to a new fresh hell of disfunction & civil war.
So do we try something new or just give up & let it burn?

There’s not been a truly moderate party in UK? We’ve been under the Left or Right stranglehold fight since forever. You get Labour or conservatives with no third choice. In Scotland we have SNP which folk only choose as not L or T.
Moderates most certainly don’t need to be centrists but do tend…

By the extremists. I’m positive there’s far more moderates on both sides than there is extremists & if they’re given an option to express that in their voting they will. A moderate party could attract voters from both sides & win. Then make real change by being bipartisan as their very nature. 🤔😎

Hunter D Phoenix 🐦‍🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @hunterdphoenix.bsky.social · 2d

I get on fine with moderate liberals & with moderate conservatives…

I don’t get on well with extremists from either side. Extremists on both sides have totalitarian angry views they spread with hate & violence.

All moderates need to band together regardless of left or right. Force extremism out! 😎

The main difference is that patriotism is a love for one's country, characterized by a desire for its well-being and a willingness to improve it, even through criticism. In contrast, nationalism is an ideology of national superiority that often involves a belief in the… ⬇️

It’s just after midnight, I’ve got half a bottle of wine left, I’m releasing noisy emotions on my piano, the lights are dimmed & I’m wearing sunglasses…
