We've got stamina
Jun. 5th, 2020 03:38 pmJust a short post with two videos to start off the weekend.

ladybusiness, I came across this fanvid from a couple of years ago by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
runawaynun. It's called 'Stamina' and is a compilation of different women competing in different sports across the ages.
Watch it here.
As a former gymnast, all of the gymnasts in the video were familiar to me (although I would really quibble with including Kerri Strug's vault which won the US women's team the gold medal in Atlanta in a compilation of triumphant moments in women's sport; my opinion of that situation is basically, fuck the Károlyis), and the whole thing is just really well put together, and made me quite weepy.
The last concert I was able to attend was a fantastic weird little gig in a former metalworks turned goth club in Islington, in December last year. It was very much to my taste: just me, Matthias, and a handful of aging goths being screamed at by a tiny Swedish woman dressed in sunglasses and pleather. One of the songs she played has now been released as a single, and I have been playing it a lot today.
Courage, courage, courage.
