Reminder…

TizzyWoman @tizzywoman.bsky.social · 2h

Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

A white brick townhouse with a pink front door, and matching pink window frames. Two potted plants sit by the entrance, and sunlight casts a soft glow across the scene.

Standing between four very tall buildings with lots of glass in Philadelphia looking up to a cloudy sky. You can see reflections of the clouds in the window windows, and the photo is in black-and-white.

Evening #BlueSky🫖 I love taking photographs of the sky but sometimes I wish I hadn’t 😳 (alt for more) Have a fabulous rest of your evening friends ☺️ #Photography #EastCoastKin

$After the photographic description, we have a short story for this evening. Our photograph shows a hauntingly dramatic sky divided between two worlds of colour & emotion. The lower half is filled with textured clouds illuminated in cold shades of electric blue and silvery white. Above them looms a heavy blanket of dark golden-brown clouds, thick and ominous, pressing down as if about to smother the light below. The contrast between the eerie blue glow and the oppressive amber darkness creates an atmosphere of unease, beautiful yet foreboding, like the calm before a supernatural storm. Our picture is finished off with a thin white border frame. And now for tonight story. I call this “The Horrors Above” No one remembered when the sky first began to change. At first, it was only a strange light on the horizon, a shimmer of blue where the stars used to be. But as days passed, the golden clouds crept in, spreading like rot, blotting out the sun and choking the world beneath. People whispered that the heavens were alive,that something vast was moving behind the clouds, watching. Nights became brighter than day, but it was a cold, metallic glow, the kind that made shadows crawl. Radios hissed with static that spoke in fractured voices, and animals fled from the open sky. Then came the hum. Low, endless, and resonant, vibrating through bone and soil alike. It called to the living, drawing them outside, eyes wide and unblinking, until they disappeared into the light above. Those who remained learned to hide when the sky began to stir. For in the shifting gold and blue, shapes would sometimes take form, vast outlines of wings and faces too large to comprehend. The old ones said it was not the end of the world, but the awakening of the one above it. And when the clouds finally parted, revealing what waited beyond, the world went silent, because every living thing understood that the sky had never belonged to us. It had only been sleeping. Sleep well friends$
