If there is something in nature you don't understand, odds are it makes sense in a deeper way that is beyond your understanding. So there is a logic to natural things that is much superior to our own. Just as there is a dichotomy in law: 'innocent until proven guilty' as opposed to 'guilty until proven innocent', let me express my rule as follows: what Mother Nature does is rigorous until proven otherwise; what humans and science do is flawed until proven otherwise. It is my great hope someday, to see science and decision makers rediscover what the ancients have always known. Namely that our highest currency is respect. - Nassim Nicholas Taleb Photographer πŸ“Έ @rafael.avcioglu πŸ‘¦πŸ½πŸ‘¦πŸ» @walexprnc @kubawachadlo Producer: @hedgehogsvsfoxes

Not without joy and even ecstasy, but still relentless, unending work.

Rainbow Railroad says the rise is β€œdirectly related” to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which doubles down on the criminalisation of same-sex activity while introducing a new crime of β€œaggravated homosexuality”. Defined as sex with a minor, having sex while HIV positive or incest, it carries a death sentence. The bill originally made it illegal to simply identify as LGBTQ+, but this clause was removed as parliament reconsidered the bill this week. Rainbow Railroad has received more than 468 requests for help from LGBTQ+ Ugandans in 2023 so far. That represents a β€œsharp increase from previous years”, the organisation told PinkNews. Speaking to PinkNews, Kimahli Powell, executive director of Rainbow Railroad, said: β€œThere were already disturbing signs that Uganda was targeting the LGBTQI+ community before the bill was introduced, including the shutdown of civil society organisations like Sexual Minorities Uganda – but the spike is directly related to the bill’s passage.” Notably, 56 per cent of those seeking assistance are trans or non-binary. This points to a β€œlarger backlash and targeting of trans persons” by the β€œanti-gender movement”, Powell says. β€œWe’re deeply concerned around the vulnerability of trans people who will be severely persecuted if and when this bill is signed into law,” he added. Swift action is necessary, Powell says. He is urging governments around the world to do what they can to provide support to LGBTQ+ Ugandans who are forced to flee. - PinkNews Photographer πŸ“Έ @lucakhouri EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER PRINT SALE: @mqbmbq From today until a month from now , you’ll be able to purchase a print from 10 image makers who have donated their work in aid of raising funds for the aid of the organization @hashtagwhatnext in Uganda, amidst the recent law passed imposing the death penalty for homosexuality.

To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves. - Pema Chodron Photographer πŸ“Έ @rafael.avcioglu

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you. - Maya Angelou, Photographer πŸ“Έ @cordeiro_______
