@uanews The aid has helped, no question, but the strength and courage of the Ukraine people is what has done the most.
Stay strong, Ukraine.

it’s hard to believe that in this day and age people are still wearing fir

Fascists, including the This Is Texas Freedom Force militia group, are threatening a drag show at the Aztec Theater in San Antonio on Tuesday, December 13. Counterprotesters will be gathering from 7-9pm outside the theater to protect the event. #LGBTQIA #SanAntonio #Texas #antifascist

Humans can be fallible, violence prone, dangerous to themselves, other species and the world, true.
But humans can also cooperate, achieve amazing feats, and even save the planet from devastation.
I considered this when I heard that 70 years after the first use of atomic fusion, humans have achieved *ignition* at the Lawrence Livermore Lab. That means more energy was produced from a fusion reaction than was used to power it. We have a long way to go, but this is a huge milestone! #Hope #Fusion

"The primary difference between Trump and DeSantis is that Trump is a lazy narcissist who wasn't interested in doing the job of president, while DeSantis is a hard-working authoritarian with well-thought out plans to remake the United States in the image of Viktor Orban's Hungary." βœ”οΈ

I don't know why conservative Christians, who believe they are literally consuming the body of their God every Sunday through transubstantiation, believe its incredulous and 'ideology' for trans people to be born in the wrong body. They literally think wheat turns into flesh.

I got asked in my #DeepWork session what I would do to β€œbe more intentional” this week. I answered honestly, that I couldn’t care less about it, I have three days off this week and it’s Christmas week next week, so I refuse to β€œget intentional” over work!

@uanews Unfortunately, history shows us that many of the refugees won't return after the war is over, leaving Ukraine less able to rebuild the damage Russia has created.

This year, I went to Haida Gwaii (BC) to perform. I met Alison Keery, who told me she teaches dance at Haida Gwaii schools. That led to an instant friendship. We visited the iconic Balance Rock, where we mixed Highland and Bhangra dances to build cross-cultural bridges and give hope.

@lowqualityfacts How do you distinguish which languages are single and which are married or in a committed relationship?

@lolgop Remember all the people who got banned from the bird-site when they criticized or made fun of Jack Dorsey?

Yeah, I don't either, because it didn't happen. Jack's skin wasn't tissue thin.

Guy was far from perfect as Twitter's former CEO, but he wasn't a tin-pot dictator either who would ban the acc'ts of anyone who said or posted anything critical of himself.

Twitter - Reason for Optimism? 

Thoughts on #Twitter

I'm wondering if we're seeing #BirdSite breathing its last agonal breaths...

It feels like maybe the public in general is kind of over #Shitposting #Trolling and #Abuse.

Musk seems increasingly desperate to post something so outrageous that it will drive people to engage on the platform. More and more people are starting to recognize what's happening and not playing that game. Or maybe that's just me being hopeful...

Remember that toot the you know was an absolute banger but no one was here to appreciate it?

They're here now so it's time to go back and shamelessly re-blog that baby!!! πŸ˜€

Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. Russia’s War on Ukraine 

β€œRussia, that has been consistently destroying its own civil society, illustrates this very well. But the countries of the democratic world have long turned a blind eye to this.”

β€œ The democratic world has grown accustomed to making concessions to dictatorships. And that is why the willingness of the Ukrainian people to resist Russian imperialism is so important.”
