Disappointed with the performance from #Croatia 🇭🇷 in the #EUROVISION semi-final, the official video is much better. It has nearly 2M views. Probably problematic video for those with visual/balance issues.
Invoking the child's right to freedom of religion to justify genital cutting is illogical. In reality it is an argument for the parents to enforce the parent's religion on an unconsenting, uninformed child, violating the child's freedom of religion and right to bodily integrity.
An artist's charming rural home in Finland. She adds her touch to existing ceramic objects and makes something entirely new and beautiful. I suppose it's the very essence of "derivative art"; unique nonetheless.
Their hearts are strong
Their aim is true
Their resolve unwavering
They are brave
Oh so brave
They fight for freedom
They fight for peace
They bleed for Ukraine
They are UKRAINE!
Just listening to last night's #Eurovision entries on Spotify and the #Finland entry is peculiar. It starts off all threatening and unsettling with pumping bass, guttural grunting vocals, spiky distorted synths and all that ChaChaChaaaa business, then halfway through suddenly remembers there needs to be some kind of melody and goes on a jolly family holiday to autotune city.
It's catchy as hell, but strangely uneven in tone.
OK, my picks are #Serbia and #Croatia. The latter for being just utterly bonkers, and we need that in #eurovision, plus a bit of sly political messaging. #Norway also pretty catchy.
I can't vote for #Finland, but that was definitely a roof raiser.
