Greenland has announced it will annex the United States, citing humanitarian concerns, chronic leadership instability, and an urgent need to protect valuable land from reckless mismanagement. Officials assured Americans they'll soon enjoy free healthcare, quieter politics, and less gold plating.

When the mood is grey,
I look for beauty.
Visited a gallery today.

Now, there’s an air raid alert in Kyiv.
I’m in the city centre, having a warcoffee and choosing books.

When the mood is grey…

Big tech companies like Amazon and Meta may be passing the costs of building and operating their data centers on to YOU.

That’s right. You could be bankrolling the electricity costs of trillion-dollar tech companies.

I'm launching an investigation.

The kids and I made probably our most epic gingerbread house, but after a few hours, it collapsed 😭😭😭 we thought we had made a very sturdy trunk but not enough apparently. But didn’t it look RAD for a little while??

No one apologizes for “being white.” You apologize for all the shitty things white people did and continue to do. And you promise to do better than all those other white people. Or you can just be a dick.

Spotted in Kyiv today – the Christmas Tree of Light,
made from the uniforms of DTEK energy workers (Ukraine’s largest private energy company).

A symbol of gratitude to all who keep our lights on.

Greetings from Kyiv!

Just wanted to remind the world that this city (oh, this country) stands.

Filmed earlier today – from my eyes to yours.

I’ll post this here and everywhere I educate the world about Ukraine.

I’ve met truly fantastic people on BlueSky – caring, kind, and generous.
You are my light on the darkest days.
You support my work, like my posts no matter what I write, and remind me: come on, girl, you’re not alone.

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

While waiting for the power to return,
let me show you these candles —
their natural honey scent is so rich
that even a non-honey person like me was pleasantly surprised.

And their slogan? Perfect.

Yesterday, I told you about the Didukh, a traditional Ukrainian Christmas symbol made of grain.

Today, I’m showing you works by a different artisan, and they’re stunning.

Should I continue sharing Ukrainian artisans and traditions?

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.

NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.

ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.

Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

NOW is the time to use your voice for wolves!

The House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 845 this week, a bill that would strip protections for gray wolves across the United States and allow for the slaughter of wolves.
House To Vote On Delisting Gray Wolves From Endangered Species Act
The House of Representatives is expected to vote on ending gray wolf protections on Thursday.
