They got used to it, they began to let the children walk for a while with detailed instructions on how to act when the siren sounds, what mines are, where to run if rockets fly.
We are used to sirens and rockets. This is bad, because we stop hiding in shelters...
Children are playing in the street... rockets are flying. ..the resettled woman who came to our village fell on the road screaming in panic..she is scared, her house was bombed. ..the children scared, ran home in tears. 1/3👇

Tomorrow will be February 24. My memories... It was scary to sleep. I set the alarm every hour to read that Kyiv is standing. It was scary to lose freedom, the feeling that if it is taken away you will not be able to breathe anymore.
The first days of spring... Children did not run around the street, parents were afraid to let their children out of the house. 1/2👇

Janeway’s logic was that the cheap knock-off of Harry Kim saved the cheap knock-off version of Naomi Wildman… so, no promotion.

Why give Meta $12-$15 a month when you could pay only $1 instead to support my occasional jokes about how hilariously incompetent Meta is? Also, I post pictures of my cats. Just look at them. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't post pictures of cats. If anything, Zuckerberg eats cats. I have no proof of this but we all know it's true.

@sezduck i'm sure if original Harry Kim had of made it they would've promoted him by that point, shame he was blown out the ship in season 2

Sherman Hemsley/ aka George Jefferson was born on Feb 1, 1938. If you watched TV a long time ago in the US, you know who he is. Here's my weak caricature of him from last night. #rnapper #mastoArt #analogue

Russian propaganda bots are active on the Fediverse. Here’s an example of one, along with the tells:

1. Generic profile picture and name
2. Incomplete or brief bio
3. 90% of posts are re-hashes of Russian propaganda

This post itself was a reply about Russian propaganda bots buying Twitter Blue.

I reported this account to newsie.social.

Please do the same when you see these.

We were promised a cooler dystopia than this.

Portrait of Beatrice - oil on canvas, 40x50 cm, painted in 2021 using the Zorn palette.

My first post on Mastodon, trying it out :) I'm tired of Instagram, Twitter and the likes so I wonder if this will suite me better.

Here's an uncomfortable American history fact. While folks often point out that after Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hitler refused to shake his hand.

But what happened next? Well, after returning home, Owens & 17 other Black Olympians were denied an invite to the White House. Instead, President Roosevelt only invited white Olympians. And it wasn't until 2016 that the White House finally apologized and invited their descendants to the WH.

2016.

Trump says he brought "Trump water" for the residents of East Palestine, and also "much lesser quality water"

“Bill, come check this out! The squirrel in that tree hasn’t moved in like three hours. It’s freakin’ weird.”

I'm a poet, an author, and a teacher. I use my words for a living. And because I use words for a living, I feel like I need to point out something that's painfully obvious to me, and apparently less so to others, particularly journalists. Here it is.

They know what "woke" means.

They don't have any trouble defining it. They've never had trouble defining the exact target of their ridicule, scorn, and hate.

Woke has had several synonyms throughout the decades. Before we were "the woke mob", we were "cucks". And before we were "cucks" we were "snowflakes", and before that, we were "SJWs". Before "SJWs", we were "betas". And before we were "betas", we were "globalists", and before that, we were "libtards". And before we were "libtards", we were "bleeding hearts" and "tree huggers", and before that, we were simply "ni**er-lovers", "Jew-lovers", and "fa**ot-lovers".

All these terms are synonymous in the GOP mind, and it's time we stop pretending that we don't know it.

Our only solution to MAGA lies, racism, white nationalism, ChristoFascist domination, destruction of our Constitution, and FASCISM, is DEMOCRATS in every office, every seat - state & Federal.

Get involved. Stay involved. WORK TO GET OUT THE VOTE.

Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) introduced a bill (cosponsored by Boebert & Santos) making the AR-15 the “National Gun of America.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has a bill to award killer Kyle Rittenhouse with the Congressional Gold Medal.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) says Ukraine is not our friend and Russia is not our enemy.

The GOP is far, far too extreme to govern.
