Okay, Fia, I’ll look out for that, but I’m curious as hell! So what’s it all about? I’ve never heard of this before.

hello beautiful Willow for let me say this is a powerful message with a great flow I am also sad about these things I don’t know what the answer is…I hate how people are treated I have skin ailment and can’t even get a refferal to a dermatologist because my primary says so… I hate how animals are treated it all makes me ill… what counts as compassion in this life it’s like a very painful soul ache to look around and think how can I change it… great write ❤️

Now this has me agreeing with it. What happened to save the trees, polar ice caps, the aquatic life, or us, damn it?

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write with a message that needs to be heard, which in fact should be screamed from the rafters in every corner of the world. Amazing work per usual. This is next level good. Appreciate you.

Wow! What a powerful message, screamed at the whole humankind, especially at those who still believe that no damage towards the planet and our fellow humans had been done. I haven’t heard such an impressive and sadly urgently needed wake up call since a long time! Brilliant work, dear Willow!
-
I think what makes me saddest is that most of them actually know what’s being done. They just don’t care because it would affect their wallets and money is more important to them than compassion. There are a lot of us screaming, they’re not listening. They just hit mute or change the channel. Thank you, Elke 🧡

FUCK YEAH! Oh, fuck fuck fuck fucking Yeah, Willow. You need a big FUCK! for all of them, Willow. But there just aren’t enough fucks for all the FUCKS in the world ’cause they keep making more FUCKS who keep fucking things up! So FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS!
Fucking right!

Yeah, that word has become a constant from me lately. I wrote this one after unsettling personal news and then spent the next 15 minutes just repeating fuck. What they’re doing – while it inspires some powerful poetry and protests – is beneath contemptible. They don’t stop either. I don’t believe I will live long enough to see the damage done just in this one year reversed. I’m not sure my daughter will even live to see that day. It’s unbelievable. Selfish, racist, sexist fucks. Thank you so much for feeling this as I did 🧡

Chère W.,
Your list and mine are almost identical.
At least my family didn’t tell me to shut up, but the in laws did.My car’s a vegan car. And many more people will follow as soon as it dawns on them that there is money to be made in doing the right things for a change.
All my thumbs and kudos for you.Yes, please also listen to Sappho/Elke’s Point of no return in audio and podcasts or some such thing. You’ll find your way, don’t rely entirely on the words of a dyslect.
Warm waives and regards, Gus

I’m with you on every point. Someway, somehow, the good, honest, and caring of this world must overcome the evil wave that now confronts us.
