Czech volunteers from the Gift for Putin initiative have raised 30 million CZK (1.2 million euros), which is more than the price of an RM-70 MLRS, to buy the rocket launcher for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The volunteers are now aiming to raise an additional 20 million CZK to purchase ammunition for the MLRS.
I love the name of this group. Such a lovely gift.
Doctors and nurses in Texas are quitting because of the conservative Christian War On Women.
I have been trying to come to terms with the fact that my nice, comfortable adulthood that I scraped and clawed to arrange for myself after a disaster childhood is just not going to happen - we are at war against fascists, like the whole world is from time to time.
I'm going to count myself fortunate that I'm not one of the people with their heads in the sand, and be grateful that I won't have to look back at this wartime and say "Oops, I should have done more!"
Hey did you know βIraqβ is not synonymous with war & destruction? #Iraq is #Mesopotamia. The cradle of civilisations. It gave us the first known writings, first poet & first known laws of humanity. Also more recently some of the kindest people I know and the best βistikanβ of tea π€

I wrote this song about feeling that I don't belong anywhere, even in close friendships I often feel misunderstood or partly seem, even though my friends are amazing still I often feel alone. I don't know exactly why, maybe it's my neurodiversity, but this song is more from a spiritual place in a way. Listen if you'd like, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Of course, this is only a very rough demo (phone recorded). It's called Find Me π

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
