Day 18. Saddle.
"Death is a strange concept. Human body ceases to function, sooner or later, and the mind, trapped within the body, fizzles out with it. But what of the soul? Does it turn into our final breath and leave us to join the world, to be one with the air? Or does it travel to the proverbial Other Side? Does it come back to be once more, but in another vessel? Does death guide it to the afterlife, or reap it, or witness the rebirth? And if so, if there is a personification of death in this world and others, what does it look like? The most widespread depiction is that of a Grim Reaper, a set of bones wrapped in a cloak swinging a scythe. Does everyone see it that way, though?"

Охочі допомогти відбудовувати понівечені росіянами будівлі присутні? А з обіймами, співами, безкоштовним харчуванням і проживанням?
Ну то для вас «Будуємо Україну Разом» (БУР) має кльові пропозиції з різних частин України!
Найважливіші – на півдні:
В Миколаївській області зможеш допомогти сім’ї, чий будинок зруйновано. А також – облаштувати пошкоджену вибухами будівлю селищної ради, яка для громади зараз стала всім.
У Херсонській області поможеш відбудувати соцінфраструктуру: лікарні, сільські ради, територіальні центри.
Так, про твою безпеку подбають:
◾️ обʼєкти відбудови знаходяться мінімум за 25 км від лінії фронту;
◾️ всюди поруч укриття;
◾️ протягом тривалого часу була стабільна безпекова ситуація.
‼️ Поставтесь до волонтерства на деокупованих територіях із відповідальністю: зважте ризики. Подавайтесь якщо готові.
Але обрати для себе табір можна і заході, і в центрі України (облаштовують соціальні центри, молодіжні простори, інклюзивні тренажерки). Зареєструватись, обравши табір з датою і місцем проведення можна тут.

Day 19. Plump.
"I'll never forget meeting mister Dienesman for the first time. I came into his poorly lit office, and he sat there, across that old desk always covered in papers, in his squeaky leather chair. We made acquaintance, I sat down down, and then he proceeded to rant about the current coffee prices for the next thirty good minutes while chugging cups of said coffee in between smoking a cheap cigar. It was surprisingly mundane, and he was strangely nonchalant about the whole thing, as if we had known each other for decades. Then I asked if he needed another editor, he coughed, yawned and said he was "generally okay with the idea".
At the time, it was the most captivating conversation I had ever had in my entire life."

Day 20. Frost.
"There was great sadness in the air, and cold, as if a harbinger of funerals to come. I looked up, away from the carnage, and my gaze landed on the statue of old Ebenezer Wonderson. Only then did I notice he was riddled with bullets and grapeshot, his coat battered by gunfire and explosions, the writing on the plaque now barely legible. His stone eyes were looking North, towards England, but also as if down, at the bodies by his feet, solemnly.
I wondered then, what would this man say, were he come to life and witness the bloodshed in the streets he once paved, in the homes he built. Would he take our side, fight for our cause? Would he raise arms for his people? Would he weep in between barricades over children who died that day, who had no parents alive to mourn them, nameless and scorned?
Then it snowed, and the screams of the wounded urged us to seek shelter from the cold."

You may be cool, but you'll never be "162 year old robot moving an anti-air shell with his sword to dodge it" cool

Day 22. Chains.
"The object is to be contained in a 3 by 3 by 3 meter cell underneath the first floor of the block D of Eastern Little Fang prison. It is to be bound by eleven three meter long anchor chains, two for each of its "appendages", wrapped around joints, two for its "body", wrapped around "waist" and "neck", and one for its "wrists", wrapped around them and fixed to the floor of the cell. All the other chains are to be fixed to floor, walls and ceiling of the cell. There is to be no lock to unshackle the chains.
The door to the cell is to be a 2 by 1 meter door completely made of a 15 centimeter thick steel sheet, with three locks at the top, bottom and middle of it. The keys in the locks have to be turned simultaneously for the door to open."

"The twenty meter long, five feet wide corridor to the cell is to be guarded at all times by six highly-trained prison guards in full police armour (including helmet) armed with shotguns, and a two-man machine gun crew.
The door to the corridor is to be the same as the door to the cell. This door is to be guarded by three prison guards in full police armour armed with shotguns."
