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.

Das Bild zeigt eine Frau, die in einer dynamischen Pose auf einem grasbewachsenen Ufer steht, das sich in einem ruhigen Wasser spiegelt. Sie trägt eine leuchtend rote Oberteil, ein silbernes Jackett und eine satinierte, magentafarbene Weste. Ihre Hände sind in roten Handschuhen und sie trägt glänzende schwarze Stiefel bis zu den Knien. Ihre Haare sind offen und wehen im Wind. Die Perspektive des Bildes ist diagonal, was eine spielerische und künstlerische Komposition erzeugt. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, mit einigen weißen Wolken, die im Wasser reflektiert werden.

What actually constitutes good #work?
#Capitalism’s answer? Whatever makes money—no matter how mindless, harmful, or dehumanizing. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Technology isn't the enemy—capitalist control over it is.
Good work means doing something useful that supports a decent life for everyone. It’s work you can be proud of, not just survive through. It should be creative, fair, and give people some say and control—not just fill the pockets of CEOs.

in reply to 𐌐𐌀Ꝋ𐌋Ꝋ • • •Gli italiani non comprendono nemmeno perchè qualcuno li ha proposti o perchè c'è gente che fa di tutto per censurarli.
Perchè dovrebbero preoccuparsi di fare questo genere di scelte?
Qualunque sia l'esito saranno sempre e solo loro a pagare il conto.
Gli altri continueranno a fare le loro cose come prima, dopo e pure durante questi referendum.
Spero, ovviamente, di sbagliarmi...

Il tema era ovviamente il referendum, con particolare attenzione sulla questione della cittadinanza. Ospiti Mimmo Lucano (con la sua testimonianza vissuta in prima persona) ed Elly Schlein.
