The Khotyn fortress was once one of the most powerful in Eastern Europe, numerous armies gathered under its walls more than once...
For me, this castle was the first acquaintance with fortresses, the first fascination with majestic stones. I love him incredibly.

Hi! I’m a wife, mum, grandma and a former teacher. I am LibDem supporter (green/left leaning) and I’m interested in discussing politics and issues around adoption, young peoples mental health and education. I love books, wine and chocolate and I love to laugh #introduction #books #wine #comedy #education #politics #adoption #inclusion #SEND #MentalHealth #Menopause #HumanRights #kindness

I need to do a photo bomb thread because the nice ppl here aren't ready for #TwitterFeralTina

Lord knows she likes a cocktail or ten.

Even Rick Wilson referred to her as fingey wacko within the party back when.

@ScottSoCal @lunarobverse also been there. Once had a customer call up, tell me her new phone system was all messed up. We then agreed that I’d go and review ALL of the notes on her account and call her back. Took me like 45 minutes, during which time she called back again. I then had to follow up with her for at least a week to begin a few months long process to get her phone system to better fit her needs. After a few weeks she was quite a bit easier to deal with.

As an Australian who suffered through the Morrison government era. #jacindaardern was a Beacon of hope for me. Especially as I looked at the global stage and saw the likes of Trump & Boris. I’m sure she is far from perfect but I admired that an intelligent, communicative woman could lead her country during trying times and remain humane and compassionate. I often fantasised about moving to NZ. So I wish her well in this next phase of life.

β€œI am human, politicians are human. We give all that we can for as long as we can. And then it’s time. And for me, it’s time”.

An air mattress is great when you want to sleep on the floor but not right away.

If you don't think that the virulent and open racism that’s always been prevalent in this country is present and continuing today, then you are either not paying attention or are unwilling spend any time thinking critically about things that happen all around you.

Think if you want that it’s limited to Florida and that DeSantis has no national appeal, but it’s not just going on in Florida. It’s part of the Republican plan.

Ron DeSantis is pushing education in Florida much further right-

For those questioning the accuracy of my tweet. Here are the survival rates on the Titanic by class. Third class had the worst survival rate.

And for those saying just stay home and be 100% safe, you realize that not everyone can do that, right? We need to demand that our schools and places of employment are COVID safe.

On top of that they have announced they will send 50 CV90 tracked infantry fighting vehicles with 40mm cannons.

Entertainer, childhood literacy advocate, and scientific philanthropist Dolly Parton was born #OTD in 1946.

Mostly known for singing and songwriting, Dolly's Imagination Library program has distributed over 100 million free books to kids around the world.

Normally I do #OTD posts for scientists and mathematicians, or important discoveries. But Dolly Parton has done as much as any living person to promote childhood literacy so I am proud to include her on the list.

maybe one of these days i'll have the #words (and #spoons) to write an actual, original, coherent post again
