They're normalizing saying the quiet part out loud, and there are no repercussions. I hope the whole country remembers all of this when it's time to vote again.

Injuries are the worst. I had a partial patelar tendon tear last year, and it hurt like a motherfucker.
Other than that I've been pretty lucky in general, and I'm thinking of competing in powerlifting next year. Just for fun.

A young woman in a short lavender dress sits with one knee under her and her other leg flared to the side. As she rests her weight comfortably on one arm, palm planted on the sand, her eyes settle on a red glass heart that she slowly draws across the sand by a string. A crack in the concrete wall behind her casts a sliver of light onto the sand. Through the tall meandering crack calm water can be seen in the distance. The crack splits the corner of a yellow triangle painted point down and worn. In the upper right, five-pointed white stars that carry off panel form an arc over eroding blue paint. A sign on the left reads "Armenia" but is cut off at the R. Rust stains trail from holes in the paneled concrete. Among the debris along the base of the wall is a rusty anchor and a broken ladder resting on its side.

I think this is the first time I used the red glass heart as a symbol for the immediate and/or material possessions. Β½

I need another 2000 views on my videos in the next week to remain monetised after I took time off to grieve for my dad.

Here's a link to my most popular video, so you might enjoy it if you give it a watch;

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.
