They call it "support", when what it really is, is "possession" and "domination"

yes, and also, psychologists arent the only professionals who can provide counselling and mental health support - there are 1000s of highly qualled/trained Counsellors & Psychotherapists at Masters level... AND many do a much better job than many psychs.. the resources are there, just not supported

Conservatives love DARVO more than anyone.. it's how they re-narrate the story, silence truth-telling, abdicate all/any responsibility and accountability, demand empathy/sympathy via 'civility' discourse, enforce fascist paradigms/mythologies, to ensure continued domination and maintenance of power.

#BREAKING 🚨 Four major global news outlets – AFP, AP, BBC and Reuters – have released a joint statement, saying they are “desperately concerned” for journalists in Gaza

The UN says the situation is a “horror show” as more people, including many children, starve to death

How ANYONE can stand by, watch, & say/do nothing (within their power) about what is happening in Gaza is unfathomable.

petulant ideologues who would prefer to submit to their industry lobbyists, the status quo, & hold onto their fearful paralysis of genuine progress, than to engage in necessary dialogues/cooperative process/make small concessions in order to lead & make change.

You ever walked through the bush and stumbled across something you mistook for a fried egg?!!

This was an amazing and delightful find today on Wurundjeri Country.
