Among the architectural canon of Central Eastern Europe, I feel there are hidden gems everywhere. One such building is the Blue Church, built in Bratislava Slovakia while it was under the Hungarian crown. It stands out from the surroundings, can't imagine what it is like at dusk.

Many American leftists have this idea that all people with disabilities were taken better care of in the #USSR than the US at the time. Without mincing words - this was a country who failed to give a war veteran a wheelchair for 40 years. The blind were often shunted into menial labour.

How do you get invited onto other people's #podcasts? I am trying to restart my Substack and podcasting journey thanks to being encouraged by the work of @theeasternborder.lv .

Already released an episode on disability in the #USSR:

Friends, how did I do cooking these syrniki?

For many years people have spoken about reforms needed at the EU level. Numerous proposals have been thrown around, but the bottom line is we cannot rely on the Trans-Atlantic economic order. Not with the reckless behavior shown this week.
Could FDI & joint partnerships be one way through?

Blind American checking in re: 5th April demonstrations.

While I lay in bed thinking of all the services cut, job opportunities ripped away from just out of reach, worry over SSDI not arriving on time or at all.. I pause, breathe, & realize millions have my back. I am not alone. Thank you all.

Orban: We're the most Christian country in Europe!
Hungarians: 27% irreligious, some of the lowest church attendance in the Balkans, every religious group legally is a "church".

Sure. Sure we are.

Have the orcs considered maybe no #Baltic or #EasternEuropean country wants to be reminded of their colonization efforts last century? #Russian efforts to rehab the Soviet era are something else.

I'm making a short podcast episode about this soon.

How are Americans moving to the Netherlands?

One way is through the DAFT - Dutch American Friendship Treaty. It is a bilaterla agreement that allows them to start companies or work as self-employed persons.

If any conservative or #altright mouth-breathers say "Hungary is the most Christian trad country! Look how many churches they have!!!" Legally, every Hungarian religious communty is a "church".

The key is to usually prove unbroken lineage to the country. In the case of Germany and Austria, Jewish Americans who can prove their family fled due to persecution are eligible to (in effect) have citizenship restored.
I acquired Hungarian citizenship after 2 years. It doesn't hurt to look.

If the #2024Romanianelection proves one thing clear- establishment politicians ought to be auditing who operates their social media. This is not to say "Democrats need a Joe Rogan" - its to say outreach to the public, meeting them where they are, matters.
