My brother has gifted me the chevron of Arkan, the drone batallion of the 10th Mountain Assault Unite of 🇺🇦. They have been valiantly defending Hulyaipole, the birth place of Nestor Makhno, the communist anarchist who fought in the Ukrainian war of independence.
The situation in Hulyaipole is bad. 🧵

Ja, das Illustrationsbild für die Queere Ringvorlesung ist AI-generiert. Ich sah das Bild zuerst gestern abend. Das ist nicht in Ordnung und ich bat die Organisatorin, Kerstin Oldemeier, dass die Social Media Kolleg*innen der IU, die das Bild benutzten, es austauschen.
