There Are Not Enough Headdesks

Picture showing the head of Russia's puppet Donetsk People's Republic hanging a medal on one of his colonels for killing 'nazis'. The colonel is wearing two overlapping badges on his sleeve, one is an SS Totenkopf (deaths head), the other is a Valknut. So the heroic anti-fascist is wearing not one, but two pieces of neo-nazi/white supremacist symbology. *headdesk*

And it's pointed out down-thread that it's the specific Totenkopf variant that was the unit badge of 1st SS Panzer Division "Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler" (Adolf Hitler's Bodyguard). You seriously couldn't make it up.

In more local news, I spoke to my sister tonight and my brother-in-law hasn't kicked his case of covid yet (day 8 - he's not doing bad, but he's still testing positive) so I've cancelled plans to head to Durham for Easter and I'll reschedule for Whit. I hope he's over it in a day or two, but I was planning to travel next Tuesday-ish and I absolutely hate organising things in a rush.

Sticking with my sister, I popped out in the car today to post her birthday card, and the weather was decent enough that when I came back I thought I'd take a very short walk. And damn, I thought my SI joint was settling down. I did the length of my street, which is about 200m, and despite taking it slowly, on crutches, and putting a lot more weight through them than I normally would, my pelvis was still killing me hours later (did the walk about 4:30PM, finally noticed the pain had settled down about 9PM).  There are times that hypermobility is quite literally a pain in the backside!
