sometimes I feel aware that I could be more #compassionate. that I could stand to extend more care and #empathy into the world, especially for those I don't agree with or see eye to eye with.

but when I look at some of the dehumanization I see happening, I remind myself that I had this thought while wrestling with guilt about killing a bug I found.

& while it's true that a bug is just as much a part of this world and deserves empathy, I do wonder if I am being just a little hard on myself 😅

I am saddened to learn that #YES! Media is closing operations next month, ending 30 years of inspiring people to build a more just, #sustainable, and #compassionate world with "rigorous reporting on the positive ways communities are responding to social problems and insightful commentary that sparks constructive discourse". They will be missed.

I highly doubt that anyone's deathbed regrets include "I was too #compassionate." The world has a lot of rough edges, vying for position, and aggression. What is needed is an ear for understanding, a genuine desire to learn about the experiences of others, and assuming the best until proven otherwise. It's critical to not let one bad experience sour you on an entire group of people/organization unless it is part of a much larger pattern. Alpha posturing adopted widely is supremely destructive.

In Japan, some tour buses have been repurposed as hearses, providing “compassionate” funeral services that enable families to visit meaningful places with their deceased loved ones.In traditional funerals, the deceased is typically transported by hearse to the funeral home, crematorium, or cemetery, with mourners following in a procession.However, in Hokkaido, bus hearses have gained popularity as a unique funeral option.Hokuto Funeral Home in Sapporo offers a bus hearse rental service, with pricing determined by travel distance.

Alo Japan All About Japan

I'm personally bothered by the rise of #antinatalism, because I know I definitely want to have #kids.

I want to give them the #unconditional #love and #respect that I didn't get enough of #GrowingUp. I want to do my best to raise them with respect for #nature and their #community, and to be #critical but #compassionate and #OpenMinded. I know the #world is broken and it isn't on them to fix it, but I know that the last thing our world #needs is fewer #children in it.

I suppose I should reintroduce myself.

I’m Ryan 💁✨ I’m #Neurodivergent (high intelligence/socially challenged), I #FigureSkate and exercise for fun, and live in a remote place. I’m also,

#Trans
#Nonbinary
#MTF
#Polyamorous
#Pansexual
#FunnyAF
#Compassionate
#SexPositive

I enjoy chili-dogs, nachos, and telling people to have the day they deserve 💅 The world is scary, but I can be too 💋

Transphobic people need not follow #Bye. I share what makes me happy, and it’s often 🏳️‍⚧️

You are never too #Young to make a #Difference
