This is a worthwhile video from the International Jugglers’ Association (IJA) 2019 championships of juggler Zak McAllister’s winning individual performance, with a routine choreographed to ‘Love Like You’ from Steven Universe. He also took home the gold in the team competition with partner Delaney, which I included below as well

This is a compilation video of sign language interpreters really bringing the sign of the horns while interpreting at heavy metal concerts. I could really FEEL those lyrics through their expression and, honestly, I’d be just as tempted to buy some merch from their table as the actual band’s. Badass,
