Look inside, look inside your tiny mind, now look a bit harder

'Cause we're so uninspired

So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour~

Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?

'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be

You're losing control a bit, and it's really distasteful~

Tune-Listen

When a rider is trying to get somewhere in a hurry and they see a bus with that hateful sign on it,they literally wanna SCREAM😬!When the bus finally does come,whoever the poor bus operator is better be ready to get yelled at and hit with a barrage of choice blue verbs. Those two blurred guys you see got in the way of the shot.. but who cares,I like the effect.

Météo détestable chez moi depuis deux mois ..... oui , ça donne vraiment la nausée et des envies de vomir , beurk !

*******************************************************************

Hateful weather at home for two months ..... yes, it really gives nausea and cravings to vomit, yuck!

*********************************************************************

Hateful Wetter zu Hause für zwei Monate ..... ja, es gibt wirklich Übelkeit und Gelüste zu erbrechen, yuck!

*********************************************************************

Tempo di odio a casa per due mesi ..... sì, dà davvero nausea e voglie di vomitare, schifo!

The boundary betweeen being critical and hateful has faded further... until the people are braindead?

Happily we're now Social Distancing, which helps to prevent to spread the hatred....

How lucky we are...

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.

Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger

It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet

On a hot summer night

Don't be afraid of the world we made

On a hot summer night

'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by

Yeah you can see the look in her eye

Then you know that it's

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Stranger, stranger

For all the dreams and schemes,

people are as they seem

On a hot summer night

Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young

On a hot summer night

A sometime someone you're not

Don't wait to see what you got

'Cause you know that you're

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

We'll walk until my feet drop

I'm a train when I'm hateful

Yeah, lay right down now

And ride until your head breaks

I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops

I will move with the beat now

I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb

I'm a ribbon in the heat now

New York!

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Still I Rise

-Maya Angelou-

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard

’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

Huge shoutout to my amazing partner and love Kaname Kuze who posed with me for this one. I love you babe <3

I am aware that it has become quiet around me in the last few weeks. As some may have noticed, something happened in my RL from mid-May that required a lot of my attention and energy. But things are calming down and not everything ends badly fortunately. But I was and am tired, which is why this outfit was a long time coming.

It wasn't without a message

A few weeks ago I overheard a wonderful man from our community posting a picture of his avatar in a dress. He felt beautiful and free and he was! But he had harvested a lot of hateful comments underneath, which just frustrated me. I was sorry because his self-esteem was obviously suffering and he certainly didn't deserve it. Nobody has that.

Just a few moments later, I saw a picture of one of the most well-known bloggers wearing the same dress I'm wearing here. He meant it as a joke and a lot of people celebrated the idea. But honestly.....it wasn't funny at all to me anymore. With this range, it sent a completely wrong signal. And if some now say I've got a stick up my ass... fine with me.

I didn't like it at all. As someone who fights for us to be normal in looks like this..as someone who constantly exposes himself to ridicule and sits just because he likes to wear dresses and skirts, I found it sickening.

It's not funny for people like us. Mockery and scorn are not funny and it doesn't help if you literally put a crown on it without even wasting a thought on the fact that you can also misunderstand it. Especially in Pride month

This is my statement on this and I call on everyone to do the same! Dare and put on your most beautiful clothes. Show me you in your dresses and skirts. You are kings and queens!

If my opinion is too stiff for you, you can leave. It's not funny, it makes me puke. I am a queen and I stand for everyone who cannot build up enough self-confidence because of people like you.

FIGHT ME! HAPPY PRIDE!!!

Me on Facebook

My painted face is chipped and cracked

My mind seems to fade too fast

Clutching straws, sinking slow

Nothing less, nothing less

A puppet's motions controlled by a string by a stranger I've never met

A nod of the head and a pull of the thread

I can't say no, I can't say no

When a child throws out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

When a child throws out a toy

All dressed up and nowhere to go

Or the music box that never stops

I'll dance for you if you want me to

Move in time, move in time

A wooden head and a broken heart

Used abused and torn apart

I gave you my best and you gave me the rest

There's time to die, time to die

When a child throws out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

When a child throws out a toy

When a child throws out a toy

When I was new you wanted me

Now I'm old you no longer see

When a child throws out a toy

Spiteful girl, hateful boy

I wonder very much what is wrong with the photo complained about. Is it forbidden in this community to express solidarity with Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in a way that is illegal under international law, i.e. criminal?

'Still I Rise'

By Maya Angelou

"You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don't you take it awful hard

’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I've got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise."

This was taken at the cactus garden in Lanzarote.

The title is not just about the sharp points on the cactus but also about how hurtful it is to receive an abusive and unkind Flickr mail. Totally uncalled for. I know I am not the only one to receive this mail but it is still upsetting to be targeted like this.

I feel sad that there are hateful people on Flickr, I have always loved the community spirit and have made some wonderful friends here. I am so sad to have had this soured. I will not let it get the better of me though.

I have tried to report it as abuse but have not been able to so far.

Young and ungrateful, forever we worried her

never felt so ungrateful until we buried her

stuck in a hateful take-two and can't surmount

Trying to make due without her mount

from cub to a bear

with all the love that was there

survived as a tribe and improved our count

R.I.P. Beloved

Oɳ Mყ Oɯɳ

They say they don't like the color of my hair

My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere

They say they don't like the style of my clothes

That I don't stand a single chance

What do they know?

All of those sleepless nights

Thinking I won't survive

Almost gave up, I was breaking

But in my darkest hour

I found my inner power

And life is mine for the taking

So I stand right here and nobody would know

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

And I've got this smile upon my face even though

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

I did it on my own

They say that I shouldn't play my music loud

I'm going nowhere cos I don't run with their crowd

They say the world don't need people like me

People like me

Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep

All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive

Almost gave up, I was breaking

But in my darkest hour I found my inner power

And life is mine for the taking

So I stand right here and nobody would know

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

And I've got this smile upon my face even though

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life

Nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong, they right

Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do

I'm living proof

So I stand right here and nobody would know

It's been a long, long troublesome road

Gonna throw my party

I don't care if you show

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

So I stand right here and nobody would know

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

And I've got this smile upon my face even though

It's been a long, long troublesome road

I did it on my own

Did it, did it

Did it on my own

Did it, did it

I did it on my own

Did it, did it

Did it on my own

Did it, did it

I did it on my own

I came back the next morning for a better picture but some trumper covered it all up with racist and hateful messages. I guess their itty bitty feelings were hurt.

The return to isolationist politics. Waiting for the brown shirts. Congratulations everyone.

331-7300

I kind of get the feeling that this is fairly representative of the Nebraska mentality. Their Senator, Ben Sasse, just pushed for a straight out repeal of the ACA, with no replacement. As I traveled across Nebraska, I saw a lot of poor folks in bad health, and was saddened to think that many of them support people like Sasse and Trump, even though they are going to get screwed over big time. It shows the power of nurture (mom and dad were solid conservatives as are all the others around me) and propaganda. Hard for education to overcome that.

I hope everyone is safe and well ... here in Georgia, we are bracing for this hateful hurricane Helene, so I'm feeling anxious to the max and worried for everyone in the path. Storms like this are just overwhelmingly frightening. Nothing can be done in the midst of them other than praying for all affected. ❤️

On a much happier note, Alexa and I got the pumpkin harvest wrapped up, with the help of Cabroncito and Mini Boom ... well, to be honest, English bulldogs aren't the most helpful, other than in the context of looking cute, but that they achieved!

Alexa, I'm so incredibly lucky that we're friends, you are a magical mix of chill cool girl glamour, sassy elegance, and a whirlwind of intellectual and creative brilliance. And I would stalk your magazine-worthy home decor blogs even if you weren't one of my dearest friends! Thank you, beauty queen, for everything. I love you lots.

Please be safe, anyone dealing with Helene. Sending love 💕❤️

….. “…you see yourself standing observing the city as (if) it were a projection of the mind and you ask yourself why everything suddenly seems unknown to you, deafening like a thousand crazy horns…” And 'the moment when you realize that you have to stop and stop time to release all those hateful sensations, those useless phrases that make you seem like one of them... ... It happens sooner or later and that feeling of "what am I doing here" is just the 'beginning of a new life, a resurrection of the mind that screams freedom...

I believe that everyone at least once has had the sensation of feeling out of the world as if the dimensions were breaking and one was flying into the infinity of the mind, freeing the dark areas...

What I want to challenge people so limited in thinking that they want every country to only include rich white wealthy folks is not just how much we benefit from an exchange of ideas but also how everyone is a citizen of the world and if we do not work together in terms of conserving resources and combatting climate change, that world will cease to exist for everyone but Elon Musk orbiting forever in his rocket ship. So, if you are reading this and you aren’t Elon Musk, start asking yourself what you can do as a citizen of the world and stop falling prey to ideas manufactured by the government to keep you hateful and distracted from what really matters. They say there is never money for the environment or for refugees but as soon as people need to be killed in war, they always seem to find some serious cash in the government couch cushions.

My very first protest in Chicago was just a couple of months after arriving when 911 happened. "My grief is not a cry for war" and "Not in my Name" were chanted all along Michigan Avenue. It was the most massive feeling as I am from a much smaller city and I was such a disillusioned 21 year old at the time that I thought surely our government had to listen to so many citizens and not wage war. Wasn't I so cute back then?

Sometimes, I feel like I've never really stopped protesting. There is also daily resistance. An act of kindness in everything you do. An intrinsic value placed on those who are not white, not cis gendered, not able bodied, not heterosexual, and not wealthy. I think I heard it best when someone said, "I don't know how to convince you that you should care about others."

And here we are...all over again and again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. I feel like I have fallen into a black hole and am living in a dark warped reality since election day. I know it's important to resist but I doubt anything I have the power to do will do much good to stop this maniac. I can try to make life better for my students and families and be there for my own friends and family and that's about it. I feel a constant sense of doom.

Still, it's good to look to the left. Then, look to the right. In front, behind you...use your peripheral vision and your depth perception and realize that you are far from alone in your outrage and that Trump does not have anything near a mandate in this country, no matter how many hateful and ignorant people there are. Just for a moment, tell yourself that there are still more good people than bad people.

This is dedicated

to every human being

who looks different, feels different, and thinks differently.

I see you. I feel you. I am you.

Stay different. Our world needs

the difference we will make.

Bᴇɪɴɢ Dɪғғᴇʀᴇɴᴛ ɪs Aᴍᴀᴢɪɴɢ .. Mʏ Rᴇϙᴜᴇsᴛ

My request today is simple. Today. Tomorrow. Next week. Find somebody, anybody, that’s different than you. Somebody that has made you feel ill-will or even hateful. Somebody whose life decisions have made you uncomfortable. Somebody who practices a different religion than you do. Somebody who has been lost to addiction. Somebody with a criminal past. Somebody who dresses “below” you. Somebody with disabilities. Somebody who lives an alternative lifestyle. Somebody without a home.

Somebody that you, until now, would always avoid, always look down on, and always be disgusted by.

Reach your arm out and put it around them.

And then, tell them they’re all right. Tell them they have a friend. Tell them you love them.

If you or I wanna make a change in this world, that’s where we’re gonna be able to do it. That’s where we’ll start.

Every. Single. Time.

Alone I stand,

Forgotten how to trust,

A title I am brand,

For the knife in my back thrust,

In envious lust,

A pack once thought,

Once united as one,

A battle together once fought.

Till our pack shrivelled down to none,

Now alone,

In haunting silence,

No pacts just on my own,

In daunting defiance,

Forgotten,

With all the loyalties won in wars,

My trust wilted and rotten,

Torn by deceits hateful claws,

A Wounded wolf still raw,

A lone wolf forever will I be,

A wounded wolf with scars I wore,

A lone wolf for everyone to see.
