Screenshot Remembrance

Above is a fairly recent video that I ended up finding within a day or two days after it was posted. I personally was given a surprise when I first noticed this video considering how recently posted it is. Before seeing this video I knew of Jessica Ahlquist, what she is was trying to do and the threats made against her.

Today I remembered a slight detail about the threats made; I saw screenshots of some of the said threats and negative comments. These screenshots are also easy enough to find through a search engine. The importance of this is the fact that these are screenshots posted onto the internet.

Plenty of the threats and negative comments directed at Jessica were on Twitter, with the name, photograph and username of the person being clearly visible by their posts. I cannot help but view this as laughable seeing as screenshots of their threats and related negative comments are tied to their names and usernames, which just also includes photos of their faces. Congratulations to these people, for your faces and names will be associated with such things as stupidity and hatred across the globe.

Symbols

I sometimes look at Pagan Blog Prompts. I haven’t done a prompt before and I won’t be doing one as of now. One caught my attention, it was from late March; What symbols have meaning to you and your beliefs?
　
Symbols are easy to find, they are everywhere. It is mainly the Latin cross symbolising Christianity seen by eyes of many, making it easy for non-Christian’s to easily feel such things as being alone in one’s beliefs. Then again, it is just as easy to get used to having a symbol or symbols being so common. Many have.
　
Symbolism in itself is indeed important. It tells certain things apart from another, one meaning from another. It helps greatly to the telling of what kind of people others are.
One could go on for some time about symbolism and how people react to symbols. It’s a fascinating subject.
