ich wollte doch nur einen Coronatest
Soll ich Weinen oder Lachen Nee, das kannst du doch nicht machen. Manche Dinge sind einfach zu schräg und komisch, die zu erzählen lohnt sich. Eigentlich, ja eigentlich wollte ich doch nur nen Corona Test. Wer hätte gedacht, dass das so schwierig ist. Jetzt so nach so vielen Monaten, Nach so vielen Maßnahmen, Podcasts, Talks und allerlei Taten. Corona, ja Corona regiert die Welt und nein, ich bin auch kein Coronaheld. Keiner der Ärztinnen, Pfleger oder von den medizinischen Kräften, die wie wild forschen und um das Leben der Leute und die Zukunft zu retten. Eigentlich wollte ich doch nur -hier im Ort -nen Corona Test machen. Wen fragt man zuerst, ja den Hausarzt, der wird’s sicher draußen machen. das hatte mir ein Freund erzählt. Doch so einfach ist das nicht, es ist nicht so das man selber wählt. Man sagte mir: Gehen sie zur Corona- Ambulanz! Das ist zwar lieb gemeint und ich hoffte auf Kulanz: denn ich habe gar kein Auto. Und innerlich fragte ich mich, gibt’s ein

A New Look for New Groups
Newly created groups have a new design to match DeviantArt’s current layout! NOTE: This is just the first preview of the new Groups design. You will run into a few bugs, but it was too exciting to keep it unlaunched any longer. Your patience is much appreciated, as is your feedback! Starting today, when you create a new group, it will have a layout that matches DeviantArt’s current design for Profiles and the rest of the site! Groups are a place for deviants to connect over shared interests, hobbies, and creations. Try out the new Groups design and create a shared space for what you’re passionate about! Please note that existing groups won’t be migrated to the new design until early next year, and more details about that will be shared closer to when the change will take place. An Overview of What’s New The new design for Groups is adaptable—you can view your group in dark, light, or green theme, and the group’s appearance will change to match your theme of choice.

United in #PeaceForIsrael
In recent days, the world has been shaken by an act of sheer evil against the people of Israel. Israel was attacked by the terrorist organization Hamas, whose stated purpose for being is to kill the Jewish people. Over 1,000 civilians were slaughtered and assaulted in ways too terrible to describe here. Hundreds of young people were massacred while attending a musical festival to celebrate peace, including dozens of people around the world from the United States, Germany, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and more. In Israeli towns and villages, entire families were wiped out. Parents were killed while trying to protect their children. Babies and children were murdered. Thousands more people were injured and remain in critical condition. Many people, including babies, children, elderly, women, and men were taken hostage by Hamas. Their families are left devastated and unsure of the fate or safety of their loved ones. Alongside the people of Israel, the Palestinian

The Criminal's Legacy
Kano ran his secret shiv gently across his cheek, trimming the excess hairs from his immaculately groomed face. He'd started going grey a fair few years ago, and dyeing it felt like a sign of weakness to the crime boss. Instead, he opted to simply maintain it, do something unique with it, to give it some flair. A small braid, akin to the vikings of old, was just what the doctor ordered. He idly wondered if vikings had ever fought in Mortal Kombat as he ran his fingers over the now slightly shorter hairs on his jawline. He gave the braid a slight tug and nodded in satisfaction. He was lucky his cell at the O.I.A. base had a mirror to keep him occupied. Once was a time when Kano could sit patiently in a cell, waiting days or weeks for his boys to bust him out. But that was so long ago now. Since then, he had turned sixty. He was now sixty-three years old, and he was starting to feel it. Sonya Blade had gotten older as well, but she was still in the first half of her fifties.
