#WhoAmIWednesday - The One Who Fights Despite Adversity.

I have had a strong sense of justice for as long as I can remember. I have spoken often of my need to help others, to stand up for what I believe in, to say something when something doesn’t seem fair or right. I have often fought battles that are unpopular; animal rights and Veganism, climate action since the mid-1980’s, Indigenous rights, defending the right for Muslims to choose to wear a burqua, fighting against the proposed religious discrimination bill, speaking out against transphobia before it was cool, advocating for same-sex marriage; again before it was cool, standing up for those who have been left behind and forgotten in an ongoing pandemic the government wants us to forget about…and the list goes on.

#WhoAmIWednesday

When I was 8, I asked my Dad for an allowance. Allowances were rare then & my folks couldn't afford to give me one. Dad asked me why I needed it; I said I wanted to save $20 before my 1st Communion, that I couldn't tell him what for, but it wasn't for anything 'bad'. Dad agreed to give me $2 a week.
When I reached my goal, he swapped my coins for a $20 note & I excitedly folded it & placed it in an old jewellery gift box.
On the day of my communion, I placed the little brown jewellery box in my small white bag & secured it. After the ceremony, I told my folks to wait as I headed back inside. I went to Fr. Borg, took out the $20 from the little jewellery box & handed it to Fr. Borg. I told him I'd been saving hard & asked him to give the $20 to the 'poor'. I didn't know how to help people who were struggling; I only knew I wanted to help.
This began my passion for philanthropy & volunteering - something I have never stopped doing, no matter how difficult it become.
I signed up for the 40hr Famine at school; the kids event was officially only 8 hours for under 12s, but I insisted on doing the full 48 hours because I felt it was the only way to understand the hunger children in Africa felt.
I've never ceased this giving spirit - in fact it's a big part of who I am. I've always been of the belief that you can always help someone in need; if not financially, then through assistance, volunteering or just being there.

We always highlight a #BookmarkBookOfTheMonth which we think features a positive, authentic representation of disability.

#ThisIsMe!

Es gäbe keine #Kriege, keine #Ausbeutung, ohne unser unausgesprochenes #Einverständnis! 🤷‍♂️

Diese "nichts sagen", dieses #abnicken der eklatanten #Dummheit...
https://youtu.be/wnhL1W9dj1w

It’s difficult to be me
Angry at the world
I don’t mind woke
I detest ignorance
I may not agree with your everything
I don’t need too

I am queer and I am non binary. I have no gender. I am both divine feminine and divine masculine. I am a god and the creator of my own world. #thisisme #introduction

This haircut cost me $100 NTD, which is equivalent to a little bit more than $3 US Dollars.
