  • I really wish we could popularize the term shit-in, but it's just too beautiful for this world.

  • Brave.

    Where, I wonder, did these transpeople find enough hope for this country to get arrested for such a peaceful protest?

    I need to know, cause I either want some myself, or need to avoid where it is.... i'm not sure which

    • Community and not really having another choice. We can either allow things to get worse or take a stand.

      • I mean, migration is a valid option, even considering the inconvenience and costs.

        I'm unhoused atm, and even I have found a verifiable way to move, legally, to another country with more room for hope, with as little money as I have.

        Taking a stand means you're feet should on top of something secure enough to hold you and worth saving at all. I simply don't have it within me to be a part of the frontlines when the Frontline is razor thin and full of holes.

        I held out hope for years now, that people on "both sides" will turn and face the real problems. I've insisted on finding, defining, and attempting to make use of knowing where my values and "theirs" diverge. I choose daily to assume that there are hardly any people on this rock that wake up each day without a single positive intent, and that means people can start somewhere....

        And, I still do.

        But the catalyst to bring both sides to a point of needing to find common ground, no matter how little, to work from just... isn't coming. Not without violence or everyone experiencing a drop in quality of life at least matching the worst experiences of today's least fortunate. Thats all the remains on a very long list of things that could've started the reaction in this country.

        And I'm done with it. I'm likely going to have to pull the trigger on these plans, and I'm not too upset about it either. I'd much rather set down roots somewhere else with at lot more people who are already practiced in making positive changes to society.

        Fight if you want, I get it, or rather I had it. I want nothing more than for things to change sooner and smoother. But I've gotta ration what few fucks to give that remain from an already really rough lot in life from the start.

        Sorry for word vomit rant
