#Poet Emily Dickinson was born #OTD in 1830.
She wrote ~1,800 poems & only 10 were published in her lifetime (& heavily edited by publishers to be "normal"). Unrecognized in her time, Dickinson was known later for her innovative use of form & syntax and influence on #poetry styles like free verse.

Responding to Zelensky’s call for an energy ceasefire, Kremlin spokesman Peskov cynically replied, “We are working on peace in Ukraine, not a ceasefire.” This, as Russia continues bombing Ukraine’s energy grid daily.

Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.
