🇺🇦 Маріупольці в Дніпрі нагадують, що тисячі Героїв Маріуполя досі знаходяться в полоні
Великий автопробіг Дніпром з родинами Героїв та просто маріупольцями стартував.
Маємо пам’ятати — ми всі у невідплатному боргу у Героїчного Гарнізону Маріуполя

As the Earth is spherical, if we point towards the celestial pole, star will slowly trail drawing a circle. If we point towards the celestial equator, star are quickly trailing along a line.
If your field-of-view is large enough, you can even get both the celestial pole and equator.
Tomorrow my lovely little dog has surgery to remove a lump on his eyeball. He’s blissfully unaware (of both the lump & impending surgery). I’m thankful I’ve got my second last day of work for the year to distract me. 🐶❤️
@Mrfunkedude talked about wanting to read toots of people living their lives. I’m trying to post/share more, so here’s some life stuff 😊 (is there a tag for day to day living stuff? I’d love to read posts about life! #dailylife perhaps?)
@taylorlorenz @drewharwell and also it’s just the height of fucking irony that this “green champion” is using the single most polluting form of travel (private jet) that a human possibly could.

@marcelias North Carolina has been hard at work for decades to use gerrymandering to destroy voting rights. I’m grateful for the work you and all your colleagues do to protect our democracy. DD is one of the few groups I donate to on a monthly basis. I encourage everyone I know to do the same even if it’s only a couple of dollars a month. It all adds up.
Some of you who follow me on Twitter may have noticed that I post images of Jizo. Jizo Bosatsu is the kind and patient guardian deity of children and travellers.
Jizo is also a Buddha that has reached enlightenment but doesn’t go to Nirvana, choosing to stay on earth to help the suffering.

With the year wrapping up, I want to thank my amazing team at All On The Line.
This group of organizers fought for fair maps across the country and battled against gerrymandering in some of the most difficult situations.
Their hardwork and dedication to democracy resulted in the fairest congressional map in 40 years.
Thank you Mat, Fili, Hannah, Bri, Baffour, Amelia, Alondra, and Ramona.
