We all know 2020 has been an unfathomably horrific year. Even so,熟女 エロ 映画 it isn't until you hear it condensed into a 13 minute audio file that it really hits how traumatising it's all been.
Australian journalists Madeleine Genner and Marc Fennell have just released their annual montage recapping the past 12 months in sound, and it's the most upsetting compilation they've done yet.
As you'd expect, "2020 in Sound" spends most of its time looking back at the apocalyptic Australian bushfires, the catastrophic coronavirus pandemic, the protests against police brutality and racism, and the harrowing U.S. election.

Marc Fennell · 2020 in Sound"This year is our 10th," Genner wrote on Instagram, "and what a year it’s been. If you didn’t cry in 2015 at the strength of the Paris terror attack survivor ... or in 2012 when Malala Yousafzai got shot, grab your tissues: you’ll probably need them this year."
