France and Australia have agreed to provide Ukraine with 155-mm artillery shells, according to the Defense Ministers of both countries. Thousands of shells have already been produced in collaboration, and this assistance will be ongoing. The first shipments are expected to arrive in the first or second quarter of 2023.
News that makes me smile from GeeDawg's Live Feed. I have become bloodthirsty in the last 11½ months.
According to intelligence, there is information circulating among the Russian military about the complete destruction of forces and equipment of a separate reconnaissance company attached to the 155th separate marine brigade of Russia, which took part in the assault on the city of Vuhledar in Donetsk region. The General Staff reported that the paratroopers suffered very heavy losses in a short period of time, showing that they were not as good as initially thought.

THIS IS VERY BIG😭
Iran and Russia have joined forces to create an alternative banking system to bypass Western sanctions and the disconnection of SWIFT, according to Reuters. The new system will allow Iranian banks to open letters of credit, make transfers, and issue guarantees with Russian banks. The agreement was signed on Sunday and will connect 700 Russian banks and 106 non-Russian banks from 13 different countries. Central Bank of Iran Governor Mohammad Farzin wrote on Twitter that this new system will help restore the financial channel between Iran and the world. The US sanctions have caused inflation in Iran to reach over 50%, and more than 50% of Iranians are living below the poverty line. The Iranian authorities fear that economic isolation and lack of economic improvement could lead to further unrest.

This book validated my #LongCovid experience.
A 🧵 of quotes:
"To have a poorly understood disease is to be brought up against every flaw in the U.S. health care system; to collide with the structural problems of a late-capitalist society that values productivity more than health; and to confront the philosophical problem of conveying an experience that lacks an accepted framework."

@cautionarytale Indeed. These friends of mine got over their antisocial streak and flourished once they went to college or joined the rest of society. I guess being Goth was like their pupa phase. I also know some others who didn't move past their Goth teen phase, but they also come from some pretty horrid family situations ... the Goth aggression and meanness was and is their survival mechanism. A select few Goths were just plain a-holes, because they could and did.

🧵 11/
"I have always been a social person who thrives on deep connection with others. Like many type-A personalities, I was willing to work extremely hard, and accommodate myself to a great deal of pain, if a doctor just told me what to do and expect, or if I knew that my illness was being meaningfully researched. But the near total absence of recognition of how sick I was confounded me: it rendered my suffering meaningless."
Too bad Lavrov did not elaborate how.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that Kyiv could be used as a tool to harm Russians.
There was an explosion in the suburbs of Dnipro.

If you upset an Emo, they'll go into their room and cry, writing bad poetry they'll post on Discord.

The Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, recently joined the women of Saue in weaving camouflage nets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kallas expressed her admiration for the women's generosity and willingness to teach her their craft.

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.
Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.
Because electricity is in such short supply Ukraine is struggling to change to LED lighting
From GeeDawg's Live Feed
To apply for a free exchange of light bulbs at Diia, please watch the video instructions. This exchange program allows you to switch out five regular light bulbs for five LED bulbs at your nearest Ukrposhta branch. Making the switch to LED bulbs will help reduce electricity consumption by up to 10% during peak loads.
