Okay, lovely humans. 🕊️
This one is for those who are struggling to know what to say, and how to manage feelings about all the horrible things other people are saying, in the middle of this latest war.
People's worst natures *are* coming out, and while this may not be avoidable, it's legitimate to be hurt by them.
It is not wrong to be humanitarian.
It's just that our empathy has to expand to include everyone whose trauma makes humanitarianism difficult right now.

That link might be borked for some reason.
? Try reloading? I've just tested it from the three places I've now posted it to. All work on my end.
@MLClark
Yes, I kept trying, also trying just onlysky.media, with no joy, just saying it could not connect. But now it is fine. It must have been some temporary issue between here and there. :)
Nasty thing, this digital crutch! Internet technologies suck us in, make us reliant on them for everything, then pull the rug out from under us every now and again to remind us who's in charge. ;)
@MLClark
Yes, it would not surprise me to wake some morning and find my savings, my home, my citizenship all deleted ;)
