hello. how are you all?
i just went to post a sculpture pic and realised that i keep posting them with sentiments along the lines of:
it's all shit but you're doing your best
and
take care of yourselves
and
for the love of all things good, please get some rest
etc.
which could all sound trite. but please know that it's never meant to be, is always genuine, and that i'm saying those things as much to myself as i am to you.
things are *really* hard for a lot of people, and it's really easy (at least for me) to get discouraged and hopeless. but i hope you all realise that you are important and deserve care and need to rest. and anyway it's not me saying it, it's this wee friend here!
we both wish you all a goodly friday and as wonderful a week-end as is possible in your world.
and seriously, take care of yourselves.

Sui #Referendum di giugno spero voti la maggioranza degli italiani: così si fa democrazia.
Incitare all’astensione sembra la scelta di chi, essendo per il No e temendo di essere sconfitto, preferisce annullare la partita anziché giocarla: scelta vigliacca. Inoltre, pur di ‘sconfiggere il nemico’ tentando di invalidare i referendum con l’astensionismo, non fa buona politica: non considera gli interessi dei lavoratori poiché non indica motivi di convenienza per loro.

Sui referendum di giugno spero voti la maggioranza degli italiani: così si fa pratica di democrazia
Si parla tanto dei referendum in blocco, anche se, ovviamente, negli ultimi giorni si chiarirà il contenuto di ciascuno di essi. Meglio avere le idee chiare fin da oraSostenitore (Il Fatto Quotidiano)
@Abstract_Bit Considerato il tema, sono fiducioso e spero nel buon risultato di questo voto nonostante la conclamata ritrosia del popolino italico ogni volta che (paradossalmente) lo si deve convincere ad esprimere il proprio pensiero davanti ad un'urna elettorale.
