  We had Socialdemokraterna (social democrats, our most center-left party) pop by around 11am, to remind us about the election (and hand us election ballots). We headed out about an hour later, and had no line whatsoever thankfully (I sat down and rested a fair bit) #val2026

  I really like this show, but they are *not* accepting of anything resembling a happy ending. Main couple? She dies The sweetest female character in the show (married off to the emperor, with children half again her age, for peace, but who actually finds happiness with him)?

  Interesting thing about how people who live with chronic pain experiences certain types of pain ... Where, let's start with this: a good personal trainer should always tell you that "if it hurts when you do a movement, listen to your body and stop doing it". If a personal trainer or similar who *isn't* someone that knows your particular physicalities well tells you to "work through the pain" ... Please don't listen to them! Anyways, when I do stretches and exerc...

  Socks! These were made using yarn I never expected to get any use for (my sister's family gave it before I was doing socks, and it was sock yarn), but now it's perfect! And I found out that with the heels in the contrast (black, despite the picture showing navy blue), one ball is enough for a pair for me, so I'll get two pairs out of this, wee! They've got an eye of partridge reinforced heel (heel flap & gusset), wedge toe and princess soles (reverse stoc...

  (simplifying this with slight stereotyping for comedic effect) Women: "We don't like that media, ads and the internet is objectifying us in a way they don't objectify men, and would like more equality." Internet: "Okay, here's looksmaxxing, where mostly men objectify other men in the name of 'this is what women wants'. Now men get to deal with self-esteem issues, ED and feeling like a failure for their appearance too. That&amp...
