My second trip to Ukraine to continue my support. This time I organised a fundraiser to buy a 4WD in the UK and drive it to Ukraine. Handed it over to my friend Krystina so she can continue to rescue animals on the frontline. Slava Ukraini 💛💙 #ukraine

Ukraine's defenders are as kind as they are fierce❤️
Stray pets often reach out to these heroic animal lovers, sensing safety and comfort. Many of them are later taken by volunteers to soldiers’ families or new loving homes🧵

For #FoxFriday, this is a vixen (Lizzie) from 2 years ago. She used to hang out with our cat (Sam) a lot and was very friendly. She would sit near me if I was BBQing and would let herself into the house if the door was open.

Once again proving that @darthputinkgb.bsky.social is not just a master strategist, but someone who achieved greatness. Maybe just not in 3 days.
A CSIS report has claimed that Russia has suffered more war casualties in Ukraine than any other great power since World War II. European nations have given notice to Russia that they will start seizing shadow fleet tankers in the Baltic Sea for any violations of international law.

There are some amazing women who have accomplished greatness, but who are not very well known.
I find myself drawn to the scientists like Alice

Microbiologist Alice Catherine Evans was born #OTD in 1881.
She proved that the bacterium 𝘉𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘴 caused brucellosis (aka undulant fever) in humans & cattle. This led to the pasteurization of milk in the US in 1930. First woman president, Society of American Bacteriologists.

We have been using a platform that is banned in Russia to say that free speech is banned in the EU on the platform we banned.
Moscow's propaganda machine has been hard at work depicting Europe as a "digital gulag," hellbent on suppressing free speech online.
"Russian propaganda portrays any effort to combat disinformation as a threat to freedom of speech", says Jakub Kalensky, an expert on disinformation.

Self promotion time! My chocolate boxes have been sold out since Christmas, but they’ve been back in stock for a few days now.
Ideal if you love good chocolate, need a gift idea, or simply want an excuse to enjoy some yourself.

Went to my first ice hockey game to watch the Romford Raiders. Absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere and good quality facilities. Good value for money. I'll definitely go again.

This would be a smart move. Europe can learn a huge amount from the technology developed by Ukraine in the last 4 years.
It would be invaluable for any future conflicts.

Cruella popped round for a snack.
People have asked me about her name and if she is named after Cruella de Vil. She is, but not because she is evil. My Cruella is lovely. It's just that her black streaks on her nose reminded me of Cruella de Vil's hair
