    Yes, I do crowdfunding. 😀 It's for a fairly small share of my income, but I do use it to support some low-paying or non-paying projects. If you'd like to pitch in, thanks!

    Apparently the Russians thought, the Ukrainians won the Borsch war… claiming the delicious beetroot soup for themselves and burning cook books?!? Listen to this ridiculous rant by the Russian MFA spokesman.

    Will Putin Outlast the War? Observers have argued that Putin's end is now on the horizon. However, I () suspect that without complete oil and gas embargo Russia's long-term transformation into something similar to a nuclear Iran is more likely. 🧵1/

    The first time my kid called me "Daddy" my heart melted. That feeling was tempered somewhat the first time he called a stranger on the street "Daddy." Today he called the roomba "Daddy" and I'm starting to feel a little insulted. My wife has it worse, though. He calls her "milk."

    Owen Jones is truly despicable. What an awful comparison… he clearly has no shame

    The reason that people are angry about male bodied people in female sport is that it's unfair. The reason that they are very angry is because of misogynist smears like this⬇️ But yes, Owen is quarter right. It unpicks the logic of TWAW So defend TWAW in sport, pls.

    And from many Ukrainians point of view, this is a replay of the Great Patriotic War with the Russians recast as the Germans.

    Putin wants Russians to believe that they are fighting Nazis again ala the Great Patriotic War. But actually, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is more parallel to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

    An extremely simplistic way of handling this is "you know how [straight characters] fell in love? That's what usually happens, but sometimes girls fall in love with girls and boys fall in love with boys. We don't really know which it will be for you."

    there's a lot of parents, myself included, who don't like seeing gay characters in cartoons for little kids. there's no way to answer questions about that without getting into sexuality, which is what we're trying to avoid. and it's been snuck in on purpose Soros-style

    “If NATO hadn’t expanded, Russia wouldn’t have brutally invaded Ukraine” is doing a lot of work protecting world views refuted by Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
