Another must read 🧵

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it.

These days I have a new feeling re. Europe, not what it's now but what it c/should be
Maybe it's what Italians felt re. a unified nation in Risorgimento, or partisans re. fascism's defeat in the Resistenza:
something we can at last make real only if we fight for it
And if we don't, all will be lost

Lovely interview. I read Italo Calvino's Fiabe when I was about 10yo and brought me into reading, which I had not done much before. Although I was the first born, I could still identify with the smart daughter, which somehow add to the reflection you made on the need of role models in literature.

I couldn't find a #FeministIR starter pack, so I took a first rather random stab at it. As I am bound to have missed relevant people (still struggling with the platform), so please let me know if you would like to be added. Apologies in advance.

Do not obey in advance.

If I were You-Know-Who, I'd want you to feel cut off from everyone else. Because if it's just you alone you're not as much of a threat.
