“I’m very disappointed in Russia. I’m disappointed in Ukraine also.” – Donald Trump Mr. Trump, we’re disappointed in you too. You promised to end the war — yet instead of holding the aggressor accountable, you pressure the victim. Ukraine didn’t start this war. It’s fighting to survive.

This article, co-authored with @lexythugcat.bsky.social, finally maps a Scottish community we've both studied for some 30 years. It has identified 3x main quarters for the merchant, maritime and military residents in Old Stockholm. Their wealth & prestige is evident from the surviving buildings 📚 🗃
