Let hope strengthen us

[zeeth_kyrah]

In light of the news that Uganda has passed a law criminalizing merely identifying as LGBTQ and imposing prison and death penalties (more details via Reuters), here is a moment of light. May it give hope and help sustain faith in the idea of liberty and equality for all, not merely a few. For welcome and love for all.

Well ...

Conveniently, my April 4 Poetry Fishbowl will be on "Non-standard Identities." Feel free to prompt for that if you want to watch me burn Uganda in effigy. I mean, imagine how supervillains would respond to that nonsense ... and how many of them wound up taking the black because they were queer or whatever and got kicked out on the street and told society to go fuck itself.

I will very much take delight in crafting an appropriate prompt for you! I truly enjoy your stories and storytelling, and inspiration shared is also a joy to me.

Yay! I really look forward to seeing that. You give good prompts, and I'm happy to spank governments for being obnoxious.

Sadly, I slept through the prompt call. So self-care took precedence. But I look forward to the lovely things that come of it, I do enjoy your work!
