"Over the past month alone, we’ve seen organized white supremacist and homophobic violence pop up across Canada. At Hamilton Pride, individuals from religious groups and alleged affiliates of the yellow-vest movement sparked acts of violence that left numerous LGBTQ2 community members and allies harmed. Just a few days later in Toronto, during the Dyke March, far-right groups rallied at a nearby mall and violently clashed with counter-protesters. Meanwhile, an anti-LGBTQ2 group showed up to jeer a rainbow flag raising at the RCMP headquarters in Surrey, BC.

These are not isolated incidents but part of a broader global trend where homophobic, transphobic, racist and other bigotry is gaining traction and credibility. Even if we’d rather not admit it, Canadians are not immune to the same forces that helped put Donald Trump in the Oval Office, and have shown themselves willing to latch onto the alt-right." ...

[Image Description: a comic strip of two characters, one orange and one blue. In the first panel, the orange one is laying on the ground and says "Ugh. I got nothing done today." In the next panel, a speech bubble belonging to the blue character reads, "Do you need to get something done every day?"
In the 3rd panel, the orange character sits up. In the 4th panel, the orange character says "I have so much I want to do. I feel like I wasted today just laying around." In the 5th panel, the blue character says, "When you take time to rest, that does not mean you are not working hard - there is no shame in taking time for yourself. You also exist just to exist, so you should enjoy just existing. Isn't it nice to just breathe?"
In the last panel, the orange character lays back down and says, "Yeah. It is nice."]#wholesomemememonday Full credit to @feffley - go and check out their other work. ... See MoreSee Less

"I’ve come out the other side before. I know that I will again. There is a rhythm to life, a rise and fall to everything. We are always in motion, even if we can’t feel it. I hold that knowledge close to me when everything goes quiet and it feels like everything has gone still. I think to myself, “I want to see what my other days hold for me.”
