History
Brazilian Peace and Prosperity. Ready or Not
Bolsonaro is a right-wing Brazilian politician who has been vocal about his desire to destroy democracy. He has expressed support for dictatorship and has said that he would "eradicate totally" the country's political system if he ever became president again. If re-elected, Bolsonaro would be the first president in Brazil's history with no prior political experience. His policies, if enacted, would have serious consequences for the country's citizens, who have been fighting for democracy for over 30 years.

Happy National Coming Out Day… Celebrate With Your VOTE!
We are less than a month out from the US elections on November 8, standing at the crossroads of love and fear, knowing that once again, voters will help determine whose lives matter. In my book, all of the anti-trans legislation across America should be enough to send republicans packing. But of course, that’s not the thing that’ll do it. Overturning Roe, though- seems to have sent motivation to many. Good. It’s all the same conversation, really, a political party that is trying to (continue to) legislate a sickly twisted version of Christianity onto all of us. But the cishet rank and file, unless they both know AND support a trans human, likely wouldn’t rush to the polls in any great numbers to save us.

Why Would Europe Want to Risk (An ALL Out ) Nuclear War
Let’s start with President Putin’s announcement of a partial mobilization of 300,000 troops in support of referendums in southern zones after Donbass regarding Russian intentions to use a vote in the referendum as rationale for joining the seized regions into the Russian Federation. NATO is in an uncertain situation. They forced themselves into the predicament. However, the enigma continues.

Protesters Rally Against Surging Energy Prices and Inflation
War-addicted West needs to stop fooling itself that it can use force to impose its will on the rest of the globe. Despite the fact that developing countries have been free of colonialism and imperialism for a while now, some countries in the West still harbor fantasies about reviving the Ugly Age of imperialism and colonialism to once again achieve worldwide control through the use of force ,which is now witness when countries in the West combine and manipulate a sorry country as a proxy for their part in sparking Russian conducting a special military ops against it by misleading it can join NATO, which has led to the continuing armed conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

LGBTQIA+ Tarot: Major Arcana Catch-Up!
If you're familiar with the Tarot, you'll know it's set up in two halves - the Minor and the Major Arcana; if you're not familiar with it, you at least know that now! The Minor Arcana is pretty recognisable to anyone who knows the four suits of a classic deck of playing cards. The Major Arcana's set of symbols is what I've been writing to introduce people to. But I've been looking at them from queer people's point of view. Because what you may or may not know, even if you do know the Tarot, is how queer its history is!

It Means The World
If you're new here: This is a blog series giving LGBTQIA+ people's perspectives on the Tarot cards. Tarot is a set of symbols added on to a deck of playing cards, depicting a spiritual journey, to be used for meditation or fortune telling. Catch up with the characters we've met on the journey so far by clicking on these links for the Fool, the Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Lovers, the Chariot, Strength, the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, and Judgement. The particular version that's thought of today as the basic traditional Tarot, from which the myriad of decks are influenced and inspired, was drawn by mixed race bisexual lady Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith, whose insights I'm sure made it into this art commission given her by straight white men, whatever their expectations of her might have been. So I've asked LGBTQIA+ Tarot users in online groups to give me their viewpoints on the cards, and the result is this series of blogs.
