I always read before sleep. Sometimes I read during the day. But always before closing my eyes. A few days ago I started reading "Walk the blue line" by Patterson. The #book is great, hard to put down. But I made a mistake - that's not a "before sleep" kind of read one should have... 🙈

Banning books only makes me want to read them. I actually recently bought Maus, thanks to the media coverage (I haven't heard about it before). It's next in line. And the Catcher is, by surprise, my favorite book since tinage years. Heh

I block anyone who reposts sources that have communist insignia on their accounts/pages etc.

when change happens slowly and you are in a middle of it - it's really hard to notice. but the change is there. having good readouts might help.

I left my country in 2014. I kept up with the news as much as I could. Same trend was always active - there is no/not enough change. I grew up in 90 and that was the time when you did not call cops, as the cops were all mafia. fast forward 2023 - I read a story from a famous blogger, she promotes an app that allows fast and discrete call to police in emergency. My country has huge progress in police reform, and that's the proof from the people themselves ❤️

@poemblaze @Maude these are same russians that occupied Germany and then stayed there after the wall fell. When I visited Germany 10 years ago, there were more people speaking russian on the streets than people speaking English. The only thing I have to say to them - if they want to live in russia they should go to russia. Problem solved. They need to learn some respect of the country they inhabit.

I liked Circe. and my friend (I gave it to her as BD present) LOVED it.

@StonedElf
I love vegan meat these days. it's so awesome than my husband and his brother started eating it as much as they can afford to buy. :) btw, I have eaten chicken that people grow themselves, in a distant village in Ukraine. it is absolutely different than anything one can buy on a market (ever)

@0x56
special note on Wikipedia. unfortunately, it's full of russian propaganda

@Vonzales
actually... I'm listening to the book "outliers" and one of the first chapters is dedicated to something like this: how poorly designed education systems put people born in particular months at disadvantage (or plain failure). it's actually really good done research. highly recommend the book
