I would like a bit of that form of oppression. 🤔

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

One would think. 😩 But the fact she is even eligible to present is confusing to say the least. 😕

Yes and it often ends up being more of a vote against an extreme, but either way, I think it is important. Same as in Brasil.

Exactly. The Brasil events also add support to the purposes of the French movements. I also do not understand so many claiming the elections are already decided in France. Even forgetting all past elections, just remembering what happened a few months ago, anything is possible.

Also interdire aux Français de manifester. 🤔 What did he think was going to happen? 🙄

Alex @alexdegreine.eurosky.social · 23/10/2026

Just what the world needs. 😒

Alex @alexdegreine.eurosky.social · 23/10/2026

No idea what that is, but cannot be good. 😩

'she also teaches at university' 😬

Ooh. Had not heard yet. 🥰 Any news on Charlie Aldridge? I need to know! 🤣

The organising by Lula's voters in Brazil right now is astonishing. They still might not win but they've put millions on the street and they have shifted the polls back to a tie -despite, in a friend's words, fighting "everyone -Trump, Meta, legacy media, the rich, betting companies, evangelicals".

Oh thank you so much! That would be amazing if I could find help like that. I am truly grateful for your thoughts, time, and energy. ❤️‍🩹

I will look into that. Online would truly help. Have started with a neurologist, but not really much hope there. Wants me to do MRIs, but no energy for that at the moment. Thank you again. This is truly helpful information and I do hope you have found Drs who can actually help. That is amazing.

The For You tab works pretty well for me and I created my own list of people to follow whose content is much less depressing. I avoid US accounts for the most part now, especially those that post concerning politics. 💔

do so without too many side effects. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much. It is so frustrating where I am in France as I have no specialists who understand any of my issues. If I were in Paris it would be different, but I can barely make it to local Drs at the moment. Will look into the list you suggested. Hoping your treatments work and continue to

be able to make it on the day. Current situation is that every nerve in my body is on full alert 24 hours a day without respite, again due to multiple issues. 😱😩❤️‍🩹

Thank you for this thread. I have daily migraines I believe due to multiple triggers, MCAS being the worst I think. No medical help yet, but still trying as I can. With no energy and living with such full body debilitating pain it is difficult to even have the energy to make appointments and then

Also the French treatment of Algeria/Algerians in general, past and present. 💔

And definitely not Jesus. Have they ever been to a church or read a sacred text? Was it you that told me this is what is being taught in some places now? 🤯

Thank you again for all that you do. I am barely clinging on at the moment on all levels so having to avoid most of it. I truly appreciate your synopses that I trust. 💗

can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

People have a really hard time with this but it does need to be talked about. When we let capitalists control the production of technology, the value/"free time" created is always, always going to be stolen back by the system.

I have never liked the term Anthropocene, Moronocene makes much more sense sadly. 😢

Ooh. The worst loud noises for me are the ones I feel viscerally. 🙀 So sorry to hear you are subjected to this.

and another spider friend on the volets when I went to open them. No idea why suddenly so much activity around my home but I like the lizards and such.

Recently had small garden snakes also trying to enter through the front door, but kept getting caught in the frame. I absolutely do not want to harm them, but it is dangerous for them in my house. So difficult. Luckily they have gone elsewhere and this morning it was just a small lizard, a mantis,

Reunion Island I met many extremely large ones that I just left to find their own way out. Won't share photos of those. Takes me down several rabbit holes, but I will spare you the details of those. Apologies for oversharing. 😬

Ok. If it's too much I can delete it though. For me the macro photos with the smiling eyes is what I think made me more open to them. I let the small ones stay and chat with them like friends. The larger ones I am afraid I might harm so I liberate them outside. When I was conducting research on

🤣 I meant paper notebooks 📒 that I write in with an ink pen. 🤔 Added photo for other uses like helping liberate spider friends who are just a bit too big to stay inside for their own good. N.B. If spiders are an issue I will delete this response. 🙂

Sweet spider friend in a glass awaiting liberation outdoors where it would risk less harm. Underneath is the orange-yellow cover of a small Rhodia notebook that serves various purposes including making lists. This specific spider was actually found on my shoulder and had various escapades prior to liberation. 🤔

I have multiple notebooks of different sizes with different lists as well as various lists on my computer. I still forget and/or forget to look at the lists, but it helps. 🙃 As soon as I can afford it I will also repurchase a large desk size agenda that I can write on. Used to have one every year.

Just noticed you are missing Kanga and Roo. 🤔 I had Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo when I was young. Think I literally loved them to pieces like the Velveteen Rabbit. 😢

Interesting. No idea what happened, but I always found it strange how he left one relationship with a cyclist to enter into another and change country affiliation. 🤔

Saw another post explaining that it affected a lot more than that including bank accounts, etc. Have also seen posts from people I trust saying it didn't have much of an effect. Either way any amount less of disinformation, etc is always better.

I sure hope so, but still 😟.
