OK guys this is enough now. I'm barely awake and I'm expected to pronounce Zaporizhzhia. If that's not a good enough reason for an immediate global ceasefire I don't know what is.

Finally finished youngest kid's DLA form. It's taken 200 pages and two printer cartridges. I feel like this is as good an argument for universal basic income as any.

REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #2
The value of an individual life a credo they taught us to instill fear, and inaction, 'you only live once' a fog in our eyes, we are endless as the sea, not separate, we die a million times a day, we are born a million times, each breath life and death: get up, put on your shoes, get started, someone will finish
Tribe
an organism, one flesh, breathing joy as the stars breathe destiny down on us, get
going, join hands, see to business, thousands of sons will see to it when you fall, you will grow a thousand times in the bellies of your sisters
