Bluey needs to be left out of all conflicts.
Bluey needs to be a safe place for kids of all nationalities, and from all backgrounds.
Because kids of all nationalities, and from all backgrounds, should have safe places to exist.

It took me an entire (small) tub of hommus, but I wrote one line today.

(It was a really hard line, OK? Now I'm just editing ✍️💪)

@ReallyMighty I have one word for "they": Bluey.

[Bernie Rutkay @bernierutkay]

Because Regina Spektor is phenomenal.
