Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
"well i refuse to participate in such a fucked up system. i won't #vote"
do you (royal you, not you Maier) have a choice? welcome to reality
it should be better, but it isn't, so you do what you can
you don't whine it should be better then drop out and help make things worse
that is entitlement and privilege
that all the fucked up thing #Trump will do won't effect you, because you're not #trans, you're not a #woman, you can't be bothered to care about the #climatecrisis

The second one I'm watching now is about violence against women
I'm already having trouble watching the first few minutes, tears are welling up in my eyes
How can it be that we don't deal with this more often?
These women will suffer for a lifetime, struggle with the consequences and yet are only a marginal figure in the media
Every third day a woman is murdered in Germany, every third day, it breaks my heart
All day, every day, we acquire a lot of information, some of it true, quite a bit of it, I imagine, false, or at best, misleading.
The world won't stop when we stop listening. We have freedom to pause, look at our surroundings, wonder, ponder, and seek that which is true, and beautiful, timeless, natural, normal and good.
