the thing about elections is that they tend to show online leftists can be kind of incredibly dense.

[returquoise]

Finnish votes after about 60% of votes have been counted

(Parties in order: National Coalition, Left Alliance, Social Democrats, Centre Party, Green League, Finns Party, Swedish People's Party, Christian Democrats)

The darker colored blocks and +/- beside them indicate change from 2019 European elections.

Centre Party is in Renew Europe, Christian Democrats in EPP, and everyone else matches their EU group colours. Edit// actually they don't because apparently the national broadcaster has better colour coding than official European Parliament website ahahahaha. ((Swedish People's party is also in Renew Europe, National Coalition is in EPP, Finns in ECR, red parties and Greens can be matched by names)

Current Finnish Parliament majority/government parties: National Coalition, Finns Party, Swedish People's Party and Christian Democrat. This government took power in Spring 2023.

Hearth to hearth, the Flame of War went.

Over snow-blasted mountains and amongst the trees of tangled forests, hiding from the enemies that prowled the skies. Through long, bitterly cold nights where the wind howled as it tried to wipe out any trace of that flame.

But the wind did not succeed, not against the flame of the queen.

So hearth to hearth, it went.

To remote villages where people screamed and scattered as a young-faced woman descended from the skies on a broom, waving her torch high.

Not to signal them, but the few women who did not run. Who walked toward the flame, the rider, as she called out, "Your queen summons you to war. Will you fly?"

Trunks hidden in attics were thrown open. Folded swaths of red cloth pulled from within. Brooms left in closets, beside doorways, tucked under beds, were brought out, bound in gold or silver or twine. And swords-ancient and beautiful—were drawn from beneath floorboards, or hauled down from haylofts, their metal shining as bright and fresh as the day they had been forged in a city now lying in ruin.

Witches, the townsfolk whispered, husbands wide-eyed and disbelieving as the women took to the skies, red cloaks billowing. Witches amongst us all this time.

Village to village, where hearths that had never once gone fully dark blazed in answer.

Always one rider going out, to find the next hearth, the next bastion of their people.

Witches, here amongst us. Witches, now going to war.

A rising tide of witches, who took to the skies in their red cloaks, swords strapped to their backs, brooms shedding years of dust with each mile northward.

Witches who bade their families farewell, offering no explanation before they kissed their sleeping babes and vanished into the starry night.

Mile after mile, across the darkening world, the call went out, ceaseless and unending as the eternal flame that passed from hearth to hearth.

"Fly, fly, fly!" they shouted. "To the queen! To war!"

Far and wide, through snow and storm and peril, the Crochans flew.

After a full day of grinding I got my well deserved JY LIGHTCONE. F2P Jin.g Y.uan E2 with his signature lightcone, I used to pray for times like this.

love how this model has a random sequence from step 47 to 67 where you suddenly get sealed in the sink fold dimension

[cherrysnax]

should prolly make an official update post but im lazy so…

so like we did manage to get some groceries, some cat food, some trash bags which im mad grateful for because holy shit it was getting bad.

but we are not out of the fire yet. my two older brothers are currently facing a housing situation (shitty landlord, shittier apartment, shittiest situation) and both have no income so everything we cook is also given to them, but that’s now splitting groceries for 8 people. my younger brother only eats his same food, and multiple of us have dietary restrictions so to add two grown men on top of that is a lot to say the least

that first +25% check hit and I paid all my bills, fully restocked my kitchen and household products, went out for dinner on my birthday, gave my fiancee money for a gift for me, got cities skylines DLC, bought my fiancee 2 games, donated money to 3 mutual aid requests, put $500 in savings, bought a wedding gift for each of the weddings I have to go to AND I still have money left over. the impact a higher salary has

So I just had a lovely experience in the woods.

Im out hiking, loving the nature and trees and stuff cause the weather is finally good. Im having a grand old time and knock knock heres comes diabetes. Im literally in the middle of nowhere when my phone starts beeping its signature “beep beep youre aboutta crash” sound. So I look at, expecting to just be slowly dropping into low territory but no.

Im 74, which isnt a problem. What is a problem is that im going double down. What is double down? Well in short if its one arrow slightly down, you alright but be concerned. If its one arrow straight down, get some juice and hunker down. But double down, start praying jesus and eat anything that has sugar. I freak out when i go double down in my own house and have access to a shit ton of sugar. But as i may remind you, im in the middle of the woods with limited supplies.

I should also mention that in addition to this, my sensor just randomly decided it would be fun to stop working for a good ten minutes in the middle of this and you can bet my life was flashing before my eyes.

Needless to say, that was not fun. But as can see, ive survived my dance with devil and shall continue to spite god despite his best efforts to get rid of me.

if there's one thing i hate more than slackers in group projects its goddamn hypocrites
