"The Shackles Are Off"

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

"There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, not from the British, not from the French, not from us, not from the Americans. Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia, for example.

It couldn't do that until some time ago, and with very few exceptions, it didn't do that until some time ago. Now it can.

“A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist. They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live.”

— Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

Saw a thing on tiktok where someone said:

"The single-sex bathroom argument is as antifeminist as it gets. It's a total surrender to patriarchy, because it assumes that men not only cannot control themselves around women, they shouldn't even bother to try."

And holy shit that's fire.

We hope you spent some merry and relaxing Christmas days ❤️🤍🎁

Looking forward to see you at our home again in 2025! 🏟️

Our family Christmas Eve tradition, which we absolutely stole from Icelandic traditions (cultural appropriation? I'm not sure...) via some newspaper article we saw years ago, is a book exchange.

verybody gives each other person a book,then we sit around and read until people retire to bed (first the kids, then - eventually - the adults).

We love it.

Despite the urge, remember the following are all none of your business to ask about:

Their size, weight, or any other body changes
When they’re going to get a partner
When they’re getting married
When they’re having a baby
Why they’re not drinking

Unless they’ve opened up to you about it first.
