Waar de meesten enkele jaren geleden nog dachten dat de LGBTQIA+ gemeenschap eindelijk de rechten hadden gekregen waar alle mensen recht op hebben, Prides hun protest-aspect niet langer nodig zouden hebben en op termijn konden vervellen tot een feest waar straight en minder straight mekaar kunnen ontmoeten, is de situatie ondertussen erg veranderd. Dit weekend, op zaterdag 28 juni 2025, trokken bijna 200.000 LGBTQIA+-personen, hun Allies en iedereen die geeft om democratische burgerrechten door de straten van Boedapest ondanks een verbod van de hoogste politieke leider, ondanks de strenge straffen die hen te wachten stonden. Overal ter wereld draaien autocratische leiders de rechten van hun burgers terug en de LGBTQIA+-groep lijdt hier enorm onder. In plaats van er enkel verdrietig om te zijn en zich erbij neer te leggen, is de gemeenschap strijdvaardig om niet enkel haar rechten, maar de rechten van alle burgers te verdedigen. Het verleden leert ons dat fascistische en autocratisc...

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 ) . So " The term ‘ecocide’ refers to the ‘devastation and destruction of the environment to the detriment of life’, but no legal definition between States has yet been agreed . This project promotes the discussion towards the criminalisation of ecocide" ( Source ) And at the same time more and more (neo-)liberal politicians ( Source ) are trying to stop the European regulations for Nature Restauration  ( The law ) This is an American trend from the Trump-era ( and still going strong in several GOP-states where the banning of books & the segragation between Cis/Trans or hetero/ LGBTQI+ seems more important than the protection of the environment & wildlife ) that is...

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. Highly doubtful they'll succede in getting and most importantly enforcing the necessary changes. . . We are already living the results of the current changes in gulfstream/jetstream/climate and still corporations and humans are denying it so they can continue making money from our system of overconsumption. 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.

Everywhere in the world the Chilean people protest against the oppression & the hard repression of the manifestations. More images on Flickr .
