🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Ukrainian troops face "difficult" defensive operations on parts of the eastern front with bitter winter cold setting in, but forces in the south are still conducting offensive actions, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday.

@hosford42 @hannu_ikonen @shayz0rz I feel y'all so hard on this conversation. My natural sleep cycle is 2am-10am. Any other time, even if I get the same 8 hours, I never feel rested. In this season of my life, with an 11yo, I have to force myself into a highly abnormal schedule. It sucks.
And I think it's genetic. My dad is exactly the same way, as are several cousins. I recently got diagnosed with ADHD at age 46, and apparently that comes with sleep disturbances. Explains a lot, in my case. 🫤
Demands for content warnings are being misused to downplay coverage of the growing anti-democracy movement within the USA, and elsewhere.
Forcing news organizations to use muted language helps Republicans soft-pedal the talking points for their fascist movement.
Now is not the time to put a soft focus lense on the fact that Republican billionaire donors are backing Trump.

Frankly, I don't care if the "Big Names" of social media bypass Mastodon. What I care about are the poets, sports fans, community activists, academics, nerds, geeks, anime fans, old movie buffs, music fans, philosophers, environmentalists, photographers, bloggers, cat people, dog people, hosers, bloggers, sci-fi freaks, astronomers,biologists, and the marginalized souls that can't find a haven anywhere else. I want authentic egagement with real people.
Nikki Haley is still a racist fraud, this 15 year old kid has more guts then any of the MAGA scum.
Good morning! Last night I went to bed early with a headache + unusually high fatigue. The sleep seems to have helped, as I'm feeling energetic and motivated.
It's our last day of 70F, so I've taken my first walk and plan on another later. In between I'm tackling the usual chores.
Since it's #ThrowbackThursday I am posting a picture of my late, great favorite cats, Poof and Harry. Legends in our family.

Done a little pre-Christmas baking today. It felt really good 🥰
These are traveling out of EU, to family in England to be exact.
My husband tells me there is like a Christmas madness that swamps already messed up British post offices so things take a long time to be delivered. We are jumping ahead and sending these Christmas biscuits early. Hopefully, they will get them around Christmas 🎄 🎁 😁
Iowa Republican’s wife convicted of voter fraud to help him in 2020 elections - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/22/iowa-voter-fraud-wife-husband-republican/ Voter fraud with an extra layer of racism on top "Unbeknownst to the Doans, they were among a group of Vietnamese immigrants targeted in a months-long voter-fraud scheme by the wife of an Iowa Republican county supervisor who wanted her husband to win “by any means necessary” in the 2020 primary and general elections, according to prosecutors."
Anyway, if your firm is looking for a competent Linux engineer, I'm eagerly waiting for someone, anybody, to give me a chance.
If not, at least a boost would be appreciated.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
