russia invaded Crimea and Donbas region of #Ukraine in February 2014, which was 12 years and 3 months ago. Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine started 4 years and 3 months ago.

#Ukrainian defenders have been protecting their families, friends, homes, towns and nation from the full-scale invasion for 1,529 days.

In Donbas, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea, Ukrainians have been resisting the russian terrorist invaders for 4,473 days.

On behalf of Americans who support #Ukraine, we stand firm in our commitment to a free, independent, democratic, and sovereign Ukraine, capable of defending itself and deterring future aggression. Give every weapon in the arsenal of democracy to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

They need partners to deliver air defense and weapons- speak up for Ukraine. Thank you.

Ukraine's greatest military and intel coup so far, hitting dozens of Russian strategic bombers located at 4 different airfields! Also a reminder that Ukraine strikes military targets while Russia smashes drones into Ukrainian shopping centers and thousands of apartment buildings.

Ukrainian officials said its drones damaged more than 40 warplanes in attacks on four military airports deep inside Russia, a daring clandestine strike. Putin used these aircraft to mass murder, now destroyed!

🔥 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. The ~value of the damaged aviation assets is $7 billion.

Hi Fediverse!

After hovering around here for a long time as a passive observer, I've decided to be more of an active participant, and try to do the #introduction thingy.

I'm #autistic, so obviously the only good way to introduce myself is by making a long list of topics I think too much about. Besides the standard Fedi topics, I'll be tooting about:

‣ The surreal experience of growing up in the #Baltics in the 90s, and why the last half a decade of geopolitical events unfolding has made my hair go gray.
‣ Deconstructing bad takes about " #EasternEurope " I keep hearing from fellow leftists in the west. About the othering that comes with just being born there, often even in #radical spaces.
‣ A long and confusing journey of understanding my fluid #gender experience, after growing up in one of the more #queer unfriendly regions of #Europe.
‣ Observations from a decade of hedonistic escapism in the #Amsterdam "underground" #techno scene. About performative politics, gatekeeping and classism in the scene, and why we need to make dance music political again.
‣ The absurdity that has been happening since #techbros took over the #psychedelics space.

Unfortunately, I don't have a cat to post pictures of. However, I have made friends with the local murder of #crows, hopefully that works!
