Tiktok is a Chinese app. Banning it from governmental devices is essential for country's security, taken the current events.
I see nothing bad in it and even welcome it.
governmental devices are governmental property. they can ban absolutely anything on it. you can use it on your own phone at your own risk.
I was never on tiktok and will never be.
btw, you are aware that Chinese users are banned from CoSo?

@nightowl4521
why?

Very comfortable 😂
What a princess, so graceful

@LSWellesley
Thank you! Same here, hope you have a nice Monday! ☺️

My very good and very old friend, a single father, came to the US with his daughter. Thanks to the generosity of the US people, he was granted a temporary visa as a Ukrainian.
I'm going to visit them in January and I'm so exited about it!
Bought a #book for the girl. Read several tails & fell in love with Inuit folklore. 😍 Hope she'll like it too. Reading folktales of different people around the globe is really mind opening. Recommend!

@LSWellesley
I frankly have no idea what they are as personalities. That level of a traitor is beyond my comprehension.
I do know they were very much into farm equipment. They stole all they could, brought to Chechnya and found that they need to activate it to use 😂 not sure if they were able to bypass the license.

@peeppeepcircus
we also have a very broad conversation in Ukraine. the topic is: our gov must invest in promotion of Ukrainian culture and history, funding the research, organizing exhibits etc. It can no longer be a question for volunteers to carry on their shoulders. we, as Ukrainians, must accept the reality: culture is critical, and we are the people who should care and do the most to spread the word, to restore justice.
So 😬 :

@peeppeepcircus
I vote for misdirect. and the key thing here is: money. lot's of money pumped in by russians. I'll give it to them - they know how important culture is, and they did everything possible to make the world believe that these they stole are actually belong to them.
sometimes that got so ridiculous that I lmao: they tried to claim that Shevchenko is also theirs. but, most of his work is focused on hating russians, in all forms possible. 🤦

King is a living prophet yeah

Portrait of an Unknown Woman
the author - born and raised Ukrainian (Ivan Kramskyi), bought by the Ukrainian patron, Pavlo Haretonenko (sugar magnate, art collector). Stolen by soviets, "nationalized" and relocated to Tretyakov Gallery.

If you take away all the stolen geniuses from "russian culture", like peeling off the layers from an onion, I bet you will be left with rather small and underdeveloped heritage.
#russia

Did you know that Repin and Kramskoi (Kramsky, russians modified his last name) were Ukrainians, not russians. That is just a drop in the ocean.

russia might have stolen more historical and cultural treasures than Great Britain. Yet, I don't see any jokes about Tretyakov Gallery, unlike jokes about British Museum.

@LindaTeppler
Have you considered libraries? Our local library allows "borrowing" from Amazon. I tested it and it's awesome.
Can recommend some authors if you like. Just tell me what type of scifi you are looking for. I read a lot of this genre

@KodoAndSangha
That's why I always make sure that we have both - chocolate and non-chocolate ice cream 😁

@Toni_Walker ahahah, this is so ADORABLE!
my dogs on the contrary, have all my blankets. I tend to buy one but then cover one of the dogs with it and that blanket somehow becomes theirs in a split second. 😂

@JohnnyGenX
always happy to provide fitting book recommendation. hope you like it, let me know if you like if (if you remember about and have time for that) :)

@BillyBones 😂😂😂😂😂
We have a saying where I'm from that literally translates to: they are being peed in the eyes, but still think it's God's dew
