They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

If you're going to leave X and not nuke your account, this is good way to leave it behind.
It makes it super obvious that you've moved off Twitter.
Includes the Bluesky handle so people can find you easily.

Today marks Lina Kostenko’s 95th birthday.
A legend in Ukrainian literature, she’s lived through wars, repressions, and Ukraine’s fight for independence.
Despite Russia’s invasion, she stays in Kyiv, writing poetry that reflects Ukraine’s strength.
