Which... there’s only so much you can do without either votes or violence. [...] So if you really care about political outcomes that affect you or the people you love, you have to fucking vote.

I used to watch Mogwai when I was very into Gwent like 4 years ago, cool to see he’s still making content

Looks like the developers have the same idea

Maybe it's just cut content or something that'll be added in DLC

Anyone else“ plan on being “sick” on November 9 or 10?”

lacking either of those it may not be surprising that I’m a hardline, militant leftist that’s done work with housing action and eviction opposition, Cuban and Palestinian solidarity and fundraising, labour outreach, and am a card-carrying member of a revolutionary organization

But I don’t know whether it helps to pretend her extreme abs just occur in nature, without a trainer or extensive fitness regimen, or whether it helps to simply pretend that all of the wellness resources exclusively available to ultra-rich celebrity models simply don’t exist.
