Protesters Rally Against Surging Energy Prices and Inflation
War-addicted West needs to stop fooling itself that it can use force to impose its will on the rest of the globe. Despite the fact that developing countries have been free of colonialism and imperialism for a while now, some countries in the West still harbor fantasies about reviving the Ugly Age of imperialism and colonialism to once again achieve worldwide control through the use of force ,which is now witness when countries in the West combine and manipulate a sorry country as a proxy for their part in sparking Russian conducting a special military ops against it by misleading it can join NATO, which has led to the continuing armed conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

LGBTQIA+ Tarot: Major Arcana Catch-Up!
If you're familiar with the Tarot, you'll know it's set up in two halves - the Minor and the Major Arcana; if you're not familiar with it, you at least know that now! The Minor Arcana is pretty recognisable to anyone who knows the four suits of a classic deck of playing cards. The Major Arcana's set of symbols is what I've been writing to introduce people to. But I've been looking at them from queer people's point of view. Because what you may or may not know, even if you do know the Tarot, is how queer its history is!

It Means The World
If you're new here: This is a blog series giving LGBTQIA+ people's perspectives on the Tarot cards. Tarot is a set of symbols added on to a deck of playing cards, depicting a spiritual journey, to be used for meditation or fortune telling. Catch up with the characters we've met on the journey so far by clicking on these links for the Fool, the Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Lovers, the Chariot, Strength, the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, and Judgement. The particular version that's thought of today as the basic traditional Tarot, from which the myriad of decks are influenced and inspired, was drawn by mixed race bisexual lady Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith, whose insights I'm sure made it into this art commission given her by straight white men, whatever their expectations of her might have been. So I've asked LGBTQIA+ Tarot users in online groups to give me their viewpoints on the cards, and the result is this series of blogs.

Bearded (Demi) Lady
If you try to picture someone who has a beard, would you automatically imagine a man? It wouldn’t be surprising or even wrong if you did. Facial hair, however, is just one of the numerous things that are unnecessarily gendered and labeled as something that is masculine and can only be masculine. By society’s standards, a beard is something that is exclusively for men while biological women do not have hair on their face or chest.
