Kyiv is currently entirely without power and heating after today’s attack. Authorities urged people to leave the city if they can. This is a humanitarian disaster, in case anyone didn’t know

When I’m crocheting I’ll often have podcasts playing in the background and I stumbled across something interesting and unexpected that was said towards the end of the podcast.

And I very much mean UNEXPECTED but interesting.

They are primed for fascism, in other words.

He is way past the no fucks to give stage and I’m so here for it.
