Gave up on social media completely for a long while… but this one’s pretty good! I contain multitudes- music, technology, film/TV, animals, philosophy (faithfully agnostic), podcasts, natural world and space, culture and criticism, politics and history. All sexualities and gender ideas welcome and supported- some variations here, too. But maybe most of all- I love human oddity. #HighRiskCOVID19 #COVIDIsNotOver

Trans people are "forever patients"?

It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

Why do you think so many people are obsessed with murder?

hopeward,
@hopeward@sfba.social avatar

@RickiTarr Maybe because the religion they hold central in their lives is based on a murder? This guy didn’t just die ‘for their sins’ - he was killed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are you all tired of being angry all the time? I know I am.

I read three news articles today, and I'm ready to Be Gay, and Do Crimes. I'm a pacifist, but damn, these people are testing me. I'm going to give them a Southern Church Lady Blessing:

Well, bless your heart, I hope you get exactly what you deserve.

hopeward,
@hopeward@sfba.social avatar

@RickiTarr A variation is: ‘ the best revenge is living well’.

Of course if we all live really well, that might give them exactly what they deserve! 🤞🏻

(And voooote, people, that’s a necessary step!)

Night video of a painted red fireboat that is docked next to a firehouse on a pier. It’s gently rocking in the Bay water, which is shimmering with reflected light, an amber and greenish color. A sea bird flies off of the pier in front of the boat, and then back after a few seconds. The foggy city lights of the distant far shore are seen in the background under dark gray skies.

A square, looping, hand drawn animation. A simple black and white figure does a little boogie with white shadow traces of the dance behind them. Another figure is on their head, doing the same dance. They move down and off screen in a never ending vertical supply of new dancers.

I wish I could truly make people understand how much of a cult Conservative Fundamentalism is, and how much it truly brainwashes you. It is easy to say, "How can those people be so stupid, how can they not see?", but unless you've been inside it, you cannot understand how much effort is put into making sure that people cannot understand or see.

hopeward,
@hopeward@sfba.social avatar

@RickiTarr It’s true. People all around pushing all your buttons all the time- very little chance to collect yourself and think. Makes me sad.

I'm gonna be honest y'all, it's felt dark lately, and for good reason, LGBTQ+ rights in the balance, an election coming up, women struggling to get basic Healthcare, mass shootings, SCOTUS, the environment. The list goes on and on, and the media twists everything to sound even worse, or just straight up ignores actual news. But here's the thing, I know a lot of you, and the fact that you exist in the world gives me hope. You care about the future and you want good things, and so do I, and as long as that spark is there, we have hope. So, let's focus on some good today! Share a good headline, some positive news either on a larger scale or just something personal, a nice picture you took, a funny meme or video, whatever made you feel good or at least, gave you a smile. Let's share some joy!

In my (apparent) quest to blend hashtags from one image, I have a that is also

This ‘silk tassel bush’ in the Park has an amazing delicate smooth fuzziness to the ‘tassels’, and the way they hang also creates pleasing patterns.

I was exploring down a gravel road, and stopped to take a picture of this Donkey sitting in a field, but it got up, and decided it wanted pets, and then three dogs, small, medium, and large, also came running from across the road, to get pets too. They have a whole racket going on!

He starts to stand up
He's walking over!
The Donkey and one of the dogs having a chat, they are friends!

‘Green-Eyed Lady’…
