this is your daily reminder that it's been over 65 years since cuba overthrew batista's US-backed fascist dictatorship and the US is STILL keeping cuba in extreme poverty using an "embargo."

back in the 1950s, using US funds and US-trained soldiers, batista (not castro) removed most of cubans' rights, including the right to strike, censored all media, and used secret police to torture and publicly excute anyone who protested his dictatorship. In a document released by the CIA in 2005, it stated as many as 20,000 people were killed. In return, batista gave control of most of the arable land to the US. during the revolution, this land was reclaimed and redistributed, which means that USAmericans can now sue anyone who "traffics" in this "confiscated" property.

Despite US sanctions being an "embargo," the US also fines foreign companies for doing business in Cuba, meaning it's effectively a blockade. Despite Obama lightening some of these restrictions, Biden has done little to undo the tightened policies from Trump's administration.

In November, the UN called for the 31st time (!!!) for the US blockade to end, supported by 187 countries and opposed only by the US and its bestest buddy (I'll let you guess who).

Cuba has been in economic crisis for years. Monthly income in Cuba is $30-60. There is very little food and it is hard to purchase anything like toiletries, clothes, and over-the-counter medicines. Domestic production is down because they don't have the resources to sustain them. The US has been intentionally impoverishing and starving Cuba for decades, and they continue to make it clear that it is not going to stop.

So, yeah. US democracy is a joke, end the US blockade on Cuba, and fuck genocide joe.

Sooo, I made a thing

And I am pretty proud of the thing

But it took literally forever, and making things unfortunately costs money 😭😭

So if anyone would like to check out my Ko-Fi, maybe browse the shop, or leave a tip it would be very much appreciated, because I would like to continue doing these kinds of things!

Also, I am gonna work on writing a whole blog post about the process of making the above thing. Spoiler alert, it took forever.

Edit to add: link to the blog post

And so Jayce leaned down and kissed him, right on the broad, smooth plane of the Herald’s mask. There were no lips there to receive him, but the metal warmed nonetheless, and they both swooned just a little—a momentary, heady lack of gravity—because for Jayce this was Viktor and for Viktor this was Jayce, and that was all that mattered in the end.  It wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty damn close.

Today, Sam jogs to the park. He stops to rest on a weathered wooden bench, partially home to patches of lichens, creaking as it adjusts to his weight. He takes some time to catch his breath, filling his lungs with the newly warm spring air, hoping there wasn't too much pollen but knowing it's hopeless around this many trees. After a few moments appreciating the weather, he puts in an ear bud and queues up his music, ready to make his way back home.

Periodic reminder from your friendly neighbourhood gymbro: The work you put in will come back. If you modify your workouts, the reward will still come to you.

So do knee pushups (no, we're not calling them "girl pushups"). Do weight machines. Put the resistance or weight low on machines.

The reward of fitness still benefits you because fitness is not a punishment. It should never be used or seen as a punishment for existing. Fitness is just... part of existence for many of us. However your fitness looks is fine. Don't let the broader fitness culture tell you that you need to do things their way. You'll be fine with what you're doing. If you stop needing modifications as you start doing more intense workouts, great! But if you never stop using modifications, then that's fine because fitness isn't a punishment or admittance of failure.
