I apparently needed to borrow a huge 46kg shepherd dog to help me realise I'm now in pretty good shape. She's made to run around for hours - but she tires well before I do on walkies. I'm kinda torn between pride and utter shock, because I'm so not a sports person. Blame yoga/poledancing, I guess...

Fascist Russia is at war with the West. We are in the middle of World War III.
This war will not end until we understand rashism (Russian fascism) to be a variant of Nazism (German fascism). Russia’s genocide of Ukrainians is a crime comparable to Germany’s genocide of the Jews.

Oh Germany. I love you, but for fucks sake. Just landed, and my phone internet functions feel like I went back in time about fifteen years. (I'm in Hamburg, they should have 5G in my world.)

Poledancing is like being hit elegantly by a rolling steam train at full speed, and then immediately wanting to have another go. (Meaning: ouch, wow srsly, ouch, but imma gonna keep going cus I'll forget about the ouch until next time)

Ja. Altså. Folk er sjokkert over abortutspill fra KRF/U, og jeg bare sånn: Jeg sa ifra om at de er umenneskelige og ikke bryr seg om fakta, til og med i avisa, for evigheter siden, men fordi jeg er trans er jeg "hårsår".

This is why #Trump is Hitler 2.0. This is what Hitler was really about: branding. Aesthetics. Theatricality. Mass appeal. It created a brainwashing machine that killed millions. Trump is doing the same thing, in the exact same way.

"History Has Left The Building"
Trump isn’t preserving America; he’s rebranding it, one gold-plated illusion at a time. History erased, monuments renamed, and a nation rebuilt in the image of its showman-in-chief.

I keep coming back to #Hitler and #Trump. Although a lot of historians don't seem to acknowledge the link, Trump is a lot like Hitler, because they both rule(d) using the techniques of an entertainer. This is something we need to take seriously. Translation in alt.
