…oh. Oh, I had missed that she’d also supported some antisemitic conspiracy theory claptrap. Into the bin she goes.

I love it when I see non-trans, cis gender, individuals discussing why people are trans and what it means to be trans… not 🙄
When a White person tells you what it means to be Black, or when a man tells you what it means to be a woman, does it not gross you out? If I went around telling Black people why they feel the way they feel, I too would be cancelled on the spot (and rightfully so)👎

Rage
Alice Walker
In me there is a rage to defy
the order of the stars
despite their pretty patterns.
To see if Gods who hold forth now
on human thrones
can will away my lust
to dare
and press to order the anarchy
I would serve.
The silence between your words
rams into me
like a sword.
what could be more powerful in the long run than the bravery of choosing to live with an open heart and a steady, balanced mind?
may hearts open, may sanity arise, may we come home to ourselves and our true power which is love.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
I find it difficult to feel responsible for the suffering of others. That's why I find war so hard to bear. It's the same with animals: I feel the less harm I do, the lighter my heart. I love a light heart. And when I know I'm causing suffering, I feel the heaviness of it. It's a physical pain. So it's self-interest that I don't want to cause harm. -Alice Walker, author (b. 9 Feb 1944)

Sommige dagen lijkt het toch echt allemaal hopeloos ... 🙈
Oh Jeanine, de dieren zijn natuurlijk zoooooo dankbaar dat ze 'mogen' dienen als voedsel. 🫣
Quote
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
