Usually my posts on here are just my #fiction #writings but I think it's important to plead with all the #NSFWart #creators to please, please describe your images. Just because people might be #blind or need a #imageDescription does not mean they don't want to consume your content.

PS: They really, really do want to consume your content.

Beautiful words are just as much an art form as a photo or other creation, but #inclusivity and #accessibility are also important. #A11y #Art #artists

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed.
Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food.
You are meat for prowling beasts.
No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."

We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

People oppose the war because they think the alternative is peace.

Have patience. Explain it.
The alternative to this war is tyranny.
