Nerd Church - Hope Against Hatred

(Warning: this post discusses terrorism and hate crimes)

Is it me, or is the world in a free-fall of hate?

Between the Sri Lanka attacks, the murder of Lyra McKee, and the day-to-day hate crimes we see here, there, and everywhere, it can sometimes feel like there's no hope left.

There is. There is hope.

There will always be hope.




The Sri Lankan death-toll has been revised down - this IN NO WAY DIMINISHES THE TRAGEDY.

But around 100 people less than was thought were killed. (News report here - graphic descriptions of the attacks' aftermath is included.)

Cold comfort though it is, that's still 100 people less killed by hatred.



Lyra McKee's death has led to a renewal of power-sharing negotiations in Northern Ireland. That's huge. 

(Although, the politicians should def. be ashamed it had to come to this.)



Of course, nothing takes away the pain of losing beautiful loved-ones to senseless hatred.

But there's some light in the dark. And there always will be.

And for as long as I have to, I'll be right here, speaking for love over hate, as best as I can in my own little way.

Love ya, dearest nerdlets 💖
