@A_Peabody Welcome aboard. I'm relatively new here, too. It's a nice place to be!
And, of course, on Russian State TV they're openly admitting that they invaded Ukraine, not to liberate anyone, but to take what they think is theirs and to subjugate the Ukrainian people.

With every influx of Newnauts I see a lot of behavior and posts clearly designed to perpetuate negative cycles, stir up anger, and encourage engagement with that anger.
Many of us came from abusive social spaces and sought peace and refuge from those spaces. And yet โฆ not all of us brought that negativity with us into this garden.
Spreading your negativity into a new space full of other people who are struggling with their own healing is a choice you're making to be disrespectful to others.
@JustJarv Dang, I missed it. I always miss all the fun! haha
@Juhstin You can do it. Just stick to the recipe, and you'll be fine.

Someone's existence does not subtract from yours. Someone's sexuality does not change yours. If your belief system requires you to extinguish those different from you, find another belief system.
Live and let live.
@JKMooney Yeah, I'm still on there for about the same reason. It's interesting to watch it swirl the drain, while watching from inside the swirl!
@Beyond_Blonde So very Christian, I'm sure. So much so, that I doubt they've even heard of the Golden Rule. Grrrrr.
@lizswick Good question. Hard to know, when one considers there are so many bots over there, too.

@Juhstin Pence is so dumb. And those are my nicey-nice words for him.
@Fat_Old_Hippy Yeah, I didn't get to see that tour. Saw some video online, and bawled my eyes out.
