Forum: #GE2025 is more than abt winning seats
"As #Singapore marks 60th year of independence.. not merely a routine democratic exercise but a contest of ideas, credibility & renewal.. A maturing #democracy needs a #diversity of voices, credible opposition, & leaders with both head & heart. Voters, esp'ly e younger gen, r watching closely not just what candidates say, but how they say it, & whether they #walkthetalk.. #vote w clarity, courage & conviction"

I'm not religious, nor am I really a huge fan of the Catholic church, but Francis was a far better than average Pope.

He pushed the church in key ways I hope the next Pope will continue and expand.

Especially it matters that he called for urgent and decisive action on human-caused Climate Change.

It matters, too, that he sought paths to acceptance and inclusion of diversity.

I liked that he was a humble man, rejecting trappings of wealth, critical of his church's hoarded wealth, pushing for financial transparency, and focused on helping the poor. He seemed to want to be peer of, advocate for, and inspiration to regular people. Anyone, Catholic or not, ought admire such.

The contrast is especially apparent from the US, where the sitting administration makes frequent appeals to religion for exactly the opposite reasons, to profit upon the poor for the sake of the rich, to undermine and deplete what meager wealth they have (again in service of the rich), and to sow seeds of intolerance and distrust.

Ich bleib dabei - diese ganze Diversity - Geschichte waren nur Makulatur. Sie waren grad angesagt, man konnte stolz damit Werbung machen etc. Kommt es drauf an, wirklich Rückgrat zu zeigen und #Diversity trotz Gegenwind weiterzumachen, knicken sie ein. Hinzu kommt, dass die Chefetagen der Konzerne in der cis-männlich, hetero und weiss sind. Wir können uns nur auf uns selbst verlassen.

🌟 Fitness for All🌟

➡️ Access to fitness resources isn't equal for everyone—socioeconomic factors create hurdles that many struggle to overcome. As the Fitness Ambassador for Malden’s Fitness Court at Callahan Park, I’m on a mission to change that.

📌Join me tomorrow at 11AM for a free community workout at Callahan Park!

Let’s work towards health equity together. See you there! 🙌🏽

“What you might call diversity, I just call an open door.”

~ Russell T. Davies, "Dr. Who" screenwriter, in response to charges that the show is now too "woke" because it has two leading characters who are from minority communities
