Exactly one year ago I walked across the Polish border into #Ukraine to live and work as a volunteer. Today, I received my Ukrainian residence permit so I can stay here until our victory.πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ’ͺ🏽

Not a doctor so I don't know if this is true but if Viagra is really more dangerous than Mifepristone, female legislators have an OBLIGATION to ban it. To protect the menfolk. Because their poor little penis-brains are not aware of complicated stuff like adverse prescription reactions.

This is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy

Justin Jones and Joan Baez sing β€œWe Shall Overcome” at a chance airport meeting.

β€œWhen you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading.

WE SHALL OVERCOME…

Serendipitous, indeed.”

β€œLearn More About the Shore” coasters arrived! I’ll distribute them to Philly bars in May. The goal here is to have folks that go down the shore this summer to appreciate the diverse wildlife we vacation alongside. I hope people enjoy engaging with them as much as we enjoyed making them!

You folks were super enthusiastic about my posting more on Mastodon, so let's try this.

RT/boost and let's see if there's interest in a regular #Ukraine thread!

Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

For the last year, I've been tracking a notorious Russian unit known for its role in killing 100s of civilians.

This past month we published how we found them.

"Unshelled" is when you tell your friend Shelley that she's had too much to drink and she needs to go home.
The party has been unshelled.

Since "shelled" can mean both "has a shell" (shelled insects) and "its shell has been removed" (shelled peanuts) , what does "unshelled" mean πŸ€”

Tom Cruise is one of those stars who should have kept his private life private, IMO. The more I learned about him, the more his ego and mental illness got in the way of watching his movies.

There are two justice systems in the US. One of them is invitation-only, black tie required, canapes and hors d'oeuvres will be served with champagne.

Ursula K.Le Guin saw right through JK Rowling early on. The "mean-spirited" description is so on target.
Here is the relevant except from the Guardian interview from 2004.

It's expensive to be poor. It's ironic but true. You get charges and fees for everything. Higher interest rates. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Having only enough to buy what you need right now instead of buying in bulk. Losing your job because you can't afford to get your car fixed. Losing your car because you don't have a job. Even your mental faculties are drained, as you are forced to continually eat low-nutrition foods, "sleep" in miserable conditions, and be exposed to toxins and lack of medical treatment. The lack of liquidity wipes you out. Life really does kick you while you're down.

You can't tell someone trapped in that vicious cycle to "just" get a job or "just" make responsible decisions. Sometimes, no amount of good decision-making can stop the vortex sucking them down. So the next time you are tempted to place moral judgment on someone who lives in poverty, think twice.

Signed, someone who has been both a Have and a Have-Not.
