You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Today, we honor the victims of the massive famine of 1932–1933.

Millions of Ukrainians died.

Don’t ever ask us why we stand. You already know the answer.

Good on them! It's literally the only hope we have - and the only chance to make these conferences mean anything at all

And who could not then believe in sea gods and portals to the other world (thanks @dgplacenames.bsky.social for sharing)

I saw a couple of teens in London a few weeks back who had split a pair of furry leg warmers - each wearing one on their right leg. I saluted

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Tareq. Tareq was a graphic designer for a laptop company before this.
