look, it doesn't matter if the night-night man isn't real. a number of voters have very real concerns that the night-night man is waiting under their beds ready to eat them as soon as mommy and daddy say night-night and you need to have a plan to address those concerns regardless

Bleh, went to the cafe to get work done in the morning.

Ending up leaving after an hour and a halfish because my anxiety prevented me from working and I was getting anxious about not working

New art? In this economy?

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

Well it wouldn't be a gym session if I didn't bash a body part on a machine

Listening to Ghost Reveries while lifting right this sec tbh

Fuck it's been too long since I've listen to my Opeth

Shoulders back and chest feel good. Arms don't feel pushed enough?

Didn't bench as much tonight. 5, 4, 4 on 135lbfor me reps rather than the 3x5 from last week. But proper form this time. Chest touch on each.

The changes actually make the new version of the censorship law much, much worse than the version that died in the house last year
