this Easter, I'd like to remind that Jesus probably looked more like this than any of those white-washed pictures on highway billboards.
He was a Middle Eastern man who spent a lot of time outside, in the sun, barefoot, and I doubt that he carried a hairbrush...

it is almost midnight where I am, and I'm wiped out, but I had to share.
I was asked several times today where I'm from.
when I said, "Ukraine," I recevied apologies from people.
they apologized. to me. for something that's not their fault.
I have no words.

okay, I rarely, if ever, write about politics. it's a dirty business. I like keeping clean.
I'll make an exception this time.
what Zelensky did for me, personally, yesterday was giving me the power to flick off the bullies and refuse to apologize for that.
strong precedent set.
слава Україні.

in the meantime at my library...

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads ©️ Revelation 13:16

this is NOT how it was explained or illustrated. but tracks.

in 2021, when I worked at a library part-time, I was discussing titkok with my co-workers and said that arguing with haters in comments is useless, I just block them without saying a single word. technically, while still on titkok, this is exactly what I did.

I don't talk.
I block.

I posted this on TikiTaki long time ago.
I don't talk. I block.
if you put it on a T-shirt, I want my 20% for the idea.
