Russian forces attacked civilians in Kherson with a drone while they were restoring a building. Another deliberate strike on innocent people just trying to rebuild.

In all this chaos we forgot that last week was an anniversary of Obama's "peregruzka" which awarded russians for their invasion in Sakartvelo
The only question is if we survive, will we witness break of this corrupted circle of American attempts to befriend russian terrorists?

I come bearing more cat quilts! One is a large throw, and five are smaller, because I think of them as quilts *for* your cats. A while ago I found a wonderful fabric of cat portraits, and had a fantastic time designing quilts around it. 🐱🪡 💖

"Zelensky said: ‘I want $300 billion in reparations from Russia. I want them to leave my land. I want all the land back.’ Really! All the land... that’s just too far. This is not a peacemaker. This is a troublemaker," – U.S. Secretary of Commerce Latnik.

Also worth noting that the public consistently overestimates spending for some of these things, such as foreign aid. If you tell them what percentage is actually spend, they tend to adjust their opinions.

Why do ordinary Ukrainians continue donating when international aid exists? And how has Ukraine’s unique culture of giving become a lifeline for the country’s survival?

In an interview with the Kyiv Independent, Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian philosopher, addressed the role of humor in wartime, the roots of the long-standing romanticization of Russia in the West, and the failure of the left in the face of Ukraine’s fight for survival.
Slavoj Zizek: Leftists falsify the choice that Ukrainians face during wartime
In times of war, the fundamental questions of survival, morality, and identity not only dominate the discourse but also expose the fissures in global political ideologies. Amid the clamor of media nar...

In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling.

Dmitry Maslovskyi, who fell in a hand to hand battle against a Russian soldier, has been posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. President Zelensky presented the "Gold Star" to the mother of this brave soldier. Dmitry’s final battle in Donetsk was seen by millions.

Daxter had an X-Ray.

They found a bullet fragment in his body.

I've had him for 9 years and never knew. The rescue didn't know his history, just that he was two and had trauma.

When I found out today, I broke down at the thought of it.

Human cruelty baffles me. I'm just glad we saved each other.

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland?

It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.
