Friendships/ Communities are not transactional they are reciprocal.
Transaction = Put something in, get something of equal value immediately. comes with expectations
Reciprocal = Put effort, love compassion in and slowly over time receive the support you need in times of need. Just Care.
Little Charcoal scared us for a bit but after the vet, meds and a week of snuggles and close watch he is feeling much better.
Do what you can, advocate for the rest. There is so much power in community around us. Care for all, don't tolerate the intolerance of those wanting power or are stuck in hatred or passiveness.

Rest is Resistance!
Especially in capitalism where we are seen as only valuable for labour.
"The best Nazis were our neighbours who stayed quiet when they took innocent people away." I will never forget the lovely elderly women whose family had fled Germany, that told me that as a child. May she rest in peace.
Remember you will not be capable of all the good the world needs right now, but this world needs all the good you are capable of.
So spread that love, compassion and care for community and self.
Value those that society sees no value in and demonises
We are stronger together
I think this depends on what you mean.There are certain things that some people will live through based on societal bias such as cultures and to be queer and the boxes others place you in. But there are no monoliths in those things as much as society lumps us all together to fit a narrative.
Good Morning!
The horrors persist but so do we.
Whatever fight you have today I believe in you!
Housing people should not be a for-profit industry.
Oh to be a small cat perched in the sun 💜
Some days it feels like we are so busy fighting for the world to not end we forget to live in it together.
Find those things that connect you to others, live in that moment.
Then breathe & keep fighting. We need these connections and people by our side, we won't create a better world alone.
Visual mending some older clothing and really enjoying it. I'm going to live my floral fantasy self and be the cryptid I want to be in the world. The kind one covered in moss in the woods that consumes the people that hurt others. 💜
