Activism - Maastricht Pride 2023

Afbeelding
Don't forget that a Pride is actually a protest march to make you remember that there are compatriots of yours struggling to have the same rights & possibilities as you just because they refuse to hide their true feelings & their true self in the bottom drawer of a dark closet like so many did before them in order to comply with a general opnion that was imposed on people by several dogmatic, patriarchal religions and authoritarian politicians. ( and their following ) At 4.26AM Photoshop logged my last manual save on the wedding photos I was working on. Then I must have dozed off because at 7AM the cats woke me, in the couch with the laptop in my lap.. so I immediately WeTransferred everything I had finished during the night to the couple and decided to get ready for a protest march at 28° Celcius. The lack of sleep has been an issue since early March. Hence 1 beer, 1 ice-cream and mere 9000 steps got the best of me while the pride went it's own way. But it isn...

What is currently the definition of ecocide? LEGAL DEFINITION OF ECOCIDE " Ecocide means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts " ( Source ) .

The " 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference " as it's full name sounds is the latest in a long series of international conferences that should combat climate change.

Greed. Shortsightedness. Egocentrism. Egoism. Those traits are defining us.  . That these changes are directly caused by human actions has been proven over and over. Climate change & pollution are 2 sides of the same coin.  Neither a giant meteor, nor the eruption of a supervolcano is causing the next mass extinction event, but the way 1 species is ruling this planet. Overshoot day. All pictures are on Flickr .
