I hope that there is still room for idealists, who think we can and should still strive for a government for the people and by the people. Real change is slow and generational, it isn't flashy, it's hard work.
I don't know exactly how to celebrate my country right now, but I'll raise my glass repeatedly to the people who are still trying when it feels hopeless, to the true patriots who fight for human rights and not corporate greed.
There is goodness in the world, even if it doesn't always feel like it, so I'll celebrate courageous acts of kindness, people who defend those who cannot defend themselves, people who stand up when others tell them to sit down, thank you for your service.
It's time for this month's #VulvaDiversity thread. This month we'll be looking at the different skin textures of the vulva, and how even in the same person, you can see lots of different textures!
We'll be posting, as always, with content warnings. If you don't have content warnings enabled and don't want to see photos of vulvas in your feed, maybe switch them on now? Also, no vulva-shaming or sexualised replies, or we'll block you.
Mastadon feels more real than Twitter - it seems a lot more natural to just type out a thought and go with it. I suppose because it's not all at the mercy of some algorithm.
Plus, it seems so much better at fostering a sense of community. I've been on here all of five minutes and I've found quite a few lovely people already.
