To all the writers:
Yes—doubt will follow you.
But so will courage,
if you let it.
So write.
Even when it’s hard.
Especially when it’s hard.
Because the world is waiting
for the story only you can tell.

🚨 Turn on your critical thinking! Russia’s war is backfiring. Ukrainian long-range drones plunged #Belgorod into darkness and hit a refinery 1,400 km inside Russia. Meanwhile, a MiG-31, Ka-52, and tanks are lost. Even pro-war Russians now see the failed blitzkrieg is destroying Russia from within.

🏦 Want the truth about Russia’s economy? Just look at Russians rushing to pull out their deposits! 💸 Over 1 trillion rubles withdrawn since April, and panic is rising. They wanted war, but got a #RussiaIsCollapsing reality: fuel crises, empty budgets, and a #RussiaBankingCrisis.
