Pippa, thank you for you kindness and words. A dark world indeed (if fear my own country will follow this dark path and leaving it will become an even greater wish come Sunday evening)

Thank you for sharing this, Jay. I agree whole heartedly with you, and am so glad you have fought for your dignity because you deserve it, as do all humans, and fighting for your dignity makes a difference for others. I would like to be someone who is authentic, and stands up for the dignity of all. The graphic you shared is chilling, and a reminder about why this is so urgent.

Junebug, thank you for your thoughtful words. Your commitment to authenticity and standing up for the dignity of all is deeply meaningful. Sharing this graphic was a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant against the forces that seek to strip humanity from others. It was a deliberate choice. Together, through awareness and action, we can ensure that history’s darkest lessons fuel our fight for a more just and compassionate world. I’m grateful for voices like yours in this effort.
