But but… you might need them still!

Israel acts with impunity. Western governments and cooperation are directly complicit.

Palestine. Sudan. Ukraine. Myanmar. Congo. And more. Systemic injustice everywhere.

What will it take for global leaders to actually do something? 😖

We don’t deserve this world. 😓

M’kay.

Oh, how I wish that were true. 😁

You know what, I will modify the idea. I think I shall pack my laptop up and work the rest of the day at home. Beats being here.

Plus, I deserve it. I made the shot

Basically.

Thanks for the new inclusive naming.

Subscribed. Thank you.

I was hoping for a gender neutral variation.

These days, people video tape everything. Hopefully something will soon be revealed that shows exactly what happened. Even then, it won’t matter to some, but it will help.

Waffles.

Asinine.

So how are them tires working for ya? 😏

Thanks for doing the extra labor here.

Had to look up several articles to better understand the shortage and it is still not entirely clear to me. Seems to be numerous factors all affecting Japan at the same time. I don’t envy them. increased prices in staple foods is really hard.

I suppose the quotation marks are pretty loaded these days…

But honestly, when you’ve lived on the other side of things… as bad as it gets in the “West”… many people will still sacrifice everything to make their way there, where a better life might be found… even if many of those countries are actively trying to keep immigrants out… 🫤

And nothing will be done.

I’m so tired, just trying to keep up.

I don’t know how any Gazans can bear to live under this.

They need help. They need hope.

How long must this continue? How long will the “free world” continue to allow this?

😫

I hear that welcoming migrants is a great way to address this problem…

Ha! To which they will then melt in my arms and kiss me and tell me just how wonderful I am… only to then punch me in the arm and say… “now tell me what I can get you, dammit, or I will hurt you more!” 😁

It’s a great idea. I did nearly the same exact thing some years ago. It helped a lot. It grounded me. Rejuvenated me. I want to be there again. TMI: since then, life has blown up… more than once… and left me pretty mangled. Hobbies and those life giving things dissipated. Mental health declined again. I started drowning in work and survival. But slowly I’m getting into a better place. I miss those walks with camera in hand. Watching life unfold around me. Capturing creatures living life in all their funny ways. Yes, I quite liked that. And while it may not happen in time for my bday, that craving is there and that’s a good thing. I hope you’re able to spend more time in the here and now, with camera in hand. 💜

Oh man. There definitely would be uses for such a replica. I just had a lot of fun generating stupid ai images of this scene:

Generate Jean-luc Picard in bed, wearing a robe that is open to reveal a hairy chest. He’s on his side, propping up his head with an arm. He has a pipe in mouth and is wagging his eyebrows, inviting you to join him.

Oh yes. Jogging. I remember that.

I may have to start jogging again just for the beer. 😁
