Today, after one of the biggest attacks on Ukraine, I saw an appalling indifference from the world. Thank you to those who still care. There are truly so few of you.

If your soul needs soothing, do listen to this 💙💛

Here's a little escape from the current horrors.

Mischief, times two! Lenny and Sulwe aren’t related by birth — their mothers, Lima Lima and Sonje, are both orphans rescued and raised through our Orphans’ Project — but they could be mistaken for twins. Learn more about our Orphans’ Project at: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orphans

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

It's almost funny to watch Starmer and Macron, in their own way, fact check this chuntering moron, to little effect. Truth means nothing to him. He engineers his own crybaby reality.

South America has just cancelled all Elon Musk's Starlink contracts. That's a $29bn loss to Elon Musk. OUCH!

@huwgroucutt.bsky.social Hello Huw, I've just discovered you here on Bluesky. Huge congratulations on your fabulous work. I remember you telling me you wanted to be an archaeologist in my English class at KHS when you were 14. So thrilled that you've achieved your dream! Best wishes to you.

Been a good day today. From morning to evening, European leaders standing up, all around the world, one after another, and speaking clearly against the Trump/Putin agenda.

Keep reposting. US attempting to block apparently

For anyone who feels confused about how the war in Ukraine was started.

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Around 4,300 years ago, an Egyptian artisan carved a little frog, a grasshopper, and a dragonfly. Lovely details from nature depicted on a wall relief in the Tomb of Kagemni at Saqqara, Egypt. Old Kingdom, Dynasty 6, c. 2345-2323 BC. Photo by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

The lengths to which the American press is going to describe Donald Trump's Gaza plan in every other way but as ethnic cleansing is quite something

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

On this dark day for the world. Take a moment to watch birds, any birds, birds make us smile & give us a break from the madness. Be kind today, make someone’s day a little better. Rose-coloured Starling #birdwatching #birding #mindfulness #MondayMorning #monday

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

Christmas morning in Kyiv. Air raid alert. No power after the missile attack. Yes, russians attacked our energy infrastructure on Christmas. I made a #warcoffee before power outage. Merry Christmas! Today's Ukrainian art: Mykola Pymomenko (1862-1912), Carols, 1880s. Stolen from Kherson in 2022.

I can't remember the last time I saw something so beautiful. Astonishing. Heart breaking. Politically affirming.

I am now, for the first time in my life, inside Free Syria. That’s a sentence I never thought I’d live long enough to say.
