Gurl.

Both bands have umlauts in their names, solely for stylistic reasons

"Penny Lane is in my ears and **in my eyes**"

The previous song was Imagine dragons, a band that is generally considered unwanted.

The title has 2 opposing ideas. Also, Chicago is primarily a musical, and secondarily a city. Also-also, I know rent is awful, but this song is catchy.

The last song seems to be asking the subject to let go of something and stay/talk with them. At some point Kelela, you just need to say **OK GO** and move on.

So, I haven't dabbled in the Word of Darkness ("WoD") or the Vampire games since I was an early teen. I only played like 2 sessions, so I am not worried about rules for other editions coming into my head. That being said, what rules am I going to get wrong when running a game of the newest edition of Vampire the Masquerade ("V5")? Any decent house-rules out there? Any advice?

Transmission --> Radio. Also, it's the first word in the song.

If you look at the communities tab and sort by new, more communities there have 0 posts than have more than 10 posts. It seems like people are just making communities for the sake of having something to control, without any interest of actually contributing. Often times the communities are opposing, so it's not as if the mod actually has knowledge or an interest in all 6 sides. Is there any discussion behind the scenes on a way to curb this. or is this not a concern at this time because lemmy is still small?

One song is about not being able to "dance" after cheating because you realized things need to end. This song is about dancing again while getting over a relationship that had already ended.

Joewackle J Kusi was making finishing touches to his short film, Nyame Mma (Children of God), and arranging screenings in the capital, Accra, when a piece of legislation passed through Ghana’s parliament, targeting LGBTQ+ content. > > According to the bill [approved in late February](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/28/ghana-intensifies-crackdown-on-rights-of-lgbtq-people-and-activists#:~:text=The%20new%20legislation%20passed%20on,a%20general%20election%20in%20December.), those involved in the “wilful promotion, sponsorship or support of LGBTQ+ activities” will face jail sentences of up to five years. The legislation, awaiting presidential endorsement before it becomes law, also stipulates a prison sentence of between six months and three years for those found guilty of identifying as LGBTQ+. > > Kusi says the bill’s passing forced him to cut the schedule short, to just one private screening for prominent art and film figures. It was shown on 6 March, Ghana’s independence day, at a venue in Accra, but Kusi has no idea if it will ever reach a wider audience. > > “I was nervous, I was anxious because of the bill,” Kusi says. “The safety of my cast and crew kept me up at night. > > “We considered that it was safer to just have one night. We didn’t go big because it didn’t feel safe to screen a film with a queer character in Ghana around the time this bill was passed.” > > Nyame Mma tells the story of Kwamena (played by [Kobina Amissah-Sam](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7374435/)), who moves away from home to live in Bolgatanga, a town in northern Ghana, because of family friction over his sexuality. After the sudden death of his father, the 30-year-old queer man returns home to Sekondi, in the country’s south-west. > > There, he meets his estranged lover, Maroof (played by Papa Osei A Adjei), who, under intense societal pressures, is about to marry a woman. Kwamena is left grieving not just for his father, but also the loss of Maroof. > > In a touch of magical realism, Kwamena, in a dream sequence, meets his father in the afterlife. The film also alludes to Sekondi’s annual masquerade – the Ankos festival – with spirits featuring in surreal episodes. > > “Some of the stories we are going to tell are going to be heavily impacted by the bill. It’s stifling to creativity,” Kusi says. > > “When this film goes out there at the right time I could spend four to five years in prison because I made a film that acknowledges and highlights marginalised and queer stories.” > > The bill, he says, is in contrast with Ghana positioning itself as a tourist destination, particularly after [its 2019 Year of Return initiative](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/8/25/a-tale-of-two-cities-diaspora-influx-hikes-cost-of-living-for-ghanaians#:~:text=The%20Year%20of%20Return%20in,to%20soaring%20prices%20in%20Accra.&text=Accra%2C%20Ghana%20%E2%80%93%20Francis%20Adotey%20has,of%20Osu%20all%20his%20life.), designed to encourage the diaspora to come back to the country. > > Based in Accra, Kusi, 31, studied broadcast journalism and mass communications at the Ghana Institute of Journalism. He worked as a writer and producer at a local television network before losing his job during the pandemic which led him to focus on film-making. > > One of his first major productions was a well-received audio drama called [Goodbye, Gold Coast](https://citinewsroom.com/2022/08/joewackle-j-kusi-announces-goodbye-gold-coast-an-audio-drama-starring-adomaa/), telling the love story of a Ghanian schoolteacher and her European lover on the eve of Ghana’s independence in 1957.. > > Finding actors willing to play queer characters was a major challenge during Nyame Mma’s production. Kusi choose straight actors because “if I had to cast queer actors then they would have to go in hiding”. > > “People read the script and said beautiful things about it but said they can’t act the role,” he says. > > “Growing up, every single time I have seen a queer representation in a Ghanian film it’s been in negative light. You’ll see them at the end of the film giving their life to Christ, or they’re probably on the bed dying from some STDs. I felt that shouldn’t be the only real representation, so I tried to create positive characters.” > > The existing colonial-era gay sex law in Ghana, which carries a prison sentence of three years, has recently led to arrests. In 2021, a group of 16 women and five men were arrested in southeastern Ghana after attending a meeting for LGBTQ+ advocates, in [a case that attracted global attention](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/05/ghana-court-frees-21-arrested-for-attending-may-lgbtq-event#:~:text=A%20Ghanaian%20court%20has%20acquitted,LGBTQ%2B%20community%20often%20face%20discrimination.) – however a few months later they were acquitted. > > “The [new] bill is targeting and criminalising all aspects of nonconformity,” Kusi says. > > Human rights groups have been urging the president, Nana Akufo-Addo, not to sign the bill into law. One, Outright International, says it would “lead to a surge in violence and human rights violations against LGBTQ persons in Ghana”, including “an increased risk of mob attacks, physical and sexual violence, arbitrary arrests, blackmail, online harassment, forced evictions, homelessness, and employment discrimination”. > > But Kusi points out it is election year in Ghana, and the season for populist policies. > > “The only thing that unites Ghanians, no matter what political party, or religion, is homophobia,” Kusi says. > > “Homophobia makes it really hard for people to think clearly. It obstructs your reasoning.”
