Love this darling girl.
Beautiful timeline cleanseโฆwhat a lovely idea.
OK, letโs show these absolute bastards what we think of them. If you need alternatives - Bluesky (youโre here already, well done; Flashes; DuckDuckGo; Signal; read actual books; shop locally, cook for yourself and get out in your garden/nature/parks, fresh air. Donโt even dream of driving a Tesla.
Itโs all in the eyesโฆ
Tout est dans les yeux...

A large crowd of protesters gathers outdoors, holding various signs and banners. One prominent sign in the center features the letters "AfD" crossed out in red, signaling opposition to the far-right party Alternative fรผr Deutschland. A rainbow flag is visible in the background, along with other signs opposing extremism. Many demonstrators are wearing winter clothing, and the atmosphere appears determined and engaged.
Voting is a human right. Today in Germany, every vote shapes the future. ๐ณ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช
Say no to hate. No to AfD. โ๐๏ธ
