I have always been called to grief work. Having lost my Dad, Uncle and Grandma all before age 13 and many more since, I know a bit about needing comfort.

There has been a lot of grieving in our home lately...beloved dog...Uncle...A friend. I try to bring comfort to myself and others through my art.

With the #ICE center in #Dallas getting whacked, I am reminded of #anarchist #FolkHero #WillemVanSpronsen now. We don't know who did it this time, but they were apparently targeting detainees, not officers, and the writing on the bullets looks really fake. No #sympathy for #fascist jackboots. Be ready for it to be used to justify a #crackdown, just like with #CharlieKirk. #NoBorders on #StolenLand.

Embrace of nihilism and pessimism are not signs of intelligence they are symptoms of being discouraged resulting in absolute defeatism. You are just as worthy as every single other human. Believe in and embrace ambition that will pay kindness and positivity forward...

I don’t know I’ve talked to multiple people this week who have #family members who are #teenagers who got shot while trying to get food so maybe I’m just out of #sympathy.

#Empathy is when you actually feel with someone. You try to slip into their shoes, see the world through their cracked lenses, and imagine the weight on their shoulders. It’s not about agreeing with them, just tuning into their emotional frequency.

#Sympathy is more like standing on the shore and waving at the poor soul drowning. You recognize their pain, you might even toss a “that must be tough,” but you’re not exactly swimming out there to feel the cold water yourself.

So, empathy = shared feeling.

Sympathy = observed feeling.

One is connection, the other is acknowledgment. Both can be useful, but empathy tends to build stronger bonds, while sympathy can sometimes feel distant or even a little condescending if done badly.
