"Privilege guilt" coloured glasses

Today is the third year we are meant to celebrate Mother's Day here in Australia while there's a gen0cide taking place in G♡za.

And I still haven't figured out how to not see every joyful moment through "privilege guilt" coloured glasses.

From the luxury of a hot shower in the morning, to having all my children home for a festive lunch...

My mind's eye is simultaneously seeing the devastation in G♡za while I go through the motions of being grateful to my four children for acknowledging the day.

(I have rewritten these words countless times. Each version feels clumsy)

My intention with this post was to highlight the strength & perseverance of the mothers in G♡za. But it's just not happening.

Reality is that I have no f*cking idea how mothers in G♡za feel. And who am I to put words to their experience?

So instead I'm going to do this:

I'm asking each person who reads this to give $5 towards mothers in G♡za.
(Let's skip platitudes and instead contribute in a tangible way)

If you like giving directly and not using a link then this payID option is best. My friend Greta has been supporting twelve mothers for over two years.

If you prefer organisations,
I recommended:

Yesterday I lost access to my Instagram account. I had just gained partial access to my Facebook account. So yeah, normally over 15,000 followers would be able to see this request.  So even if you could show three friends the links it would help immensely. And hopefully I can figure out what the hell is happening with my hacking situation 🤯
