DÍKY ukrajinským uprchlíkům získává Česko víc než MILIARDU korun KAŽDÝ MĚSÍC

Recently, I have been using LibreOffice in an attempt to promote the digital sovereignty agenda. It's so good that I have forgotten why I used to use Microsoft Office. Can someone remind me what I am missing?

‘How do we get EVEN MORE kids into paleontology?’

The National Museum in Prague: ‘We got this.’
Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming National Museum in Prague.
Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few Czech dinosaur fossils, an ornithopod bone crisscrossed with the razor blade bites of sharks.

To nail my colours to the mast:
Vaccines are brilliant! They save millions of lives, improve others beyond measure & act to improve equality as well as quality of life—they help level the playing field

Vaccines WORK
💉❤️💉
They have side effects: the benefits vastly outweigh them
