I’m definitely not a supporter of Trump.
He actually makes me sick. But the only thing he did was hold up a mirror to society and it showed just how many people put hatred, bigotry and self interest above compassion and decency. It shocks me how many people now wear it proudly.

Thank you so much🥺🖤I'm very happy to provide new canon for Adar and the Uruks (who deserve some hope and a "sun yet shining" too, even if that's not probably their favourite metaphor😆)
Elrond is a very committed person as well as a very good one. It's only natural he feels compassion for Adar🥺

NEWS: New York City just recorded the fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders in recorded history through the first nine months of the year.
Major crime is down 6.6% citywide, the largest year-to-date drop in 17 years, with declines in all five boroughs.

Some places are more than just beautiful buildings. They carry stories, courage, and the voices of generations before us. Park Street Church is a beautiful reminder that faith can also stand for compassion and justice.

I fixed what you said once, that no one took Adar's hand when he was dying 😭Elrond probably took him there by Galadriel's request, to movilise Uruks against Sauron. But in taking care of him, Elrond couldn't help feeling compassion for his former enemy🥺

I've had a pretty low tolerance for low-compassion, low-nuance takes on crime, especially really bizarre/easy-to-sensationalize crime, for a while.
I used to watch a lot of procedurals, but my brain did a total 180 on SVU the second I had my kid almost four years ago, so it's muddled up in that too

There is no such thing as "transgender for everyone", this is like calling a candidate supporting the rights of white hetro men saying only white hetro men should have rights....and only one group exists that seems to be doing that. Transgender compassion is not coming after your right to exist.
notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts.
Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

First, they have to be willing to heal themselves. We can be gentle and be willing to help, but only if they accept & want healing we can help them… But at least with compassion we don’t hurt them more…

How can employers create a positive workplace culture?
“Organizations are responding to relentless change by asking more of their people, often without strengthening the culture that makes those demands sustainable.”

Thanks for the generous review, Leon! Really helpful for me to hear about how persuasion and compassion look from a therapist's perspective.

he's gently placing
seeds of kindness
in a cruel soil
tears water
words foster
sprouting sighs
growing to become
gentle reminders
that compassion
ain't weakness
and meekness
may be a forgotten virtue
harvesting solace
spiting cruelty
in every carefully
clipped line

Men have brought our species to such a horrific place. Wars, famine, rampant disease, rape, pedophile rings, etc… Power matters to men more than empathy or compassion. They hold control, and the most vulnerable have continued to suffer.
We need Matriarchal leadership. It benefits everyone.

I’m no supporter of Donald Trump, but I’ll give him this: he’s held up a mirror to society and revealed just how many people put hatred, bigotry, and self-interest above compassion and decency. What shocks me most is how many now wear it proudly.
