NATO, The Police, every fucking imperial ass flag, rich grifters wearing blue suits. It's made me associate this color with the shittiest of ghouls. I avoid it like the plague.

But this is irrational and silly, it's just a color and hating a color because it's widely used by monstrous capitalists to lul you into a false sense of calm is silly.

Right?

Blue is also the color of water, comrade. It signifies water on maps, gps displays, underground utlity maps, public infrastructure maps (at least in the US it does), and building plans. That’s just because I work with water tho.

But before all that even, blue makes me think of swimming pools. It makes me think of cool clear water to go swimming in.

it is time to remind comrades to not just touch grass, but to touch ocean, sea, river or pool

the feeling of, let alone the physical concept of buoyancy is such a calming feeling. I strongly recommend everyone who is able should go for a swim every once in a while to relieve stress
