Reinhold Messner's moving message about the recent death of Nirmal Purja and ten others:
What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard.
I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away.
And yet l also know that, for some, …

Reinhold Messner on Instagram: "It’s a kind gesture, and everyone grieves and remembers in their own way. What matters is being there while that person is still alive.

I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away. And yet I also know that, for some, there is a quiet comfort in knowing they were in the place they loved most, doing what gave their life meaning. My thoughts are with all the families, friends, and everyone who loved them. Pls remember a human being is never an object. A life is measured by presence, not by tributes. #thinking #memories #"

This post is correct. Also…those people Katelyn's talking about are sweeping under the rug what actually happened:
Obama supported gay marriage in the mid-90S.
When that became an electoral liability in larger races, he took the position of supporting same-sex civil unions instead of same-sex marriage (which would still have been a big win in 2008 if legalized nationally, and was still a risky position to take).
Then he switched back to favoring gay marriage in a hot second as soon as it seemed like public support was behind it and his opposition might become a barrier.
• • •
Say what you will about him being deceptive or opportunistic or incrementalist or scheming or you just hate Obama or whatever, fine, I don't really care. Katelyn’s point is the important one: Obama consistently staked out positions in the direction of •increased• civil rights for queer folks, and moved his position to keep pushing in that direction relative to whatever the political conditions were.
I would be perfectly frigging delighted if Democrats now would consistently do the same for trans folks. Come on, y’all.
P.S. Replies of the form “you mentioned Obama so here’s some other thing I don’t like about him” are tiresome and will be an instant mute.

This is a link to a French petition on police violence, but the accompanying cartoon is brilliant
Someone has added a silhouette figure of a CRS riot police thug to a school crossing sign. He's about to clout the children with raised baton.
