We're almost at the end of three straight months of genocide, 30k deaths, nearly two million displaced and starving. If you're still calling the situation "nuanced" and "complicated" I'm going to beat you with a shovel.

i believe the easiest solution to the 'trans people in competitive sports' ""debate"" is simply to stop separating competitions by sex/gender and start separating them by zodiac sign.

Lan Wangji might be an unstoppable force, but Xie Lian has 800+ years of practice of being an immovable object.

There is a saying, "You can't fool an honest man," which is much quoted by people who make a profitable living by fooling honest men. Moist never tried it, knowingly anyway. If you did fool an honest man, he tended to complain to the local Watch, and these days they were harder to buy off. Fooling dishonest men was a lot safer and, somehow, more sporting. And, of course, there were so many more of them. You hardly had to aim.

The Ukrainian Life Saving Center published footage of the evacuation of people after the russian chemical attack on Ukrainian territory.

just look at the condition of these victims. I can't imagine what they feel, and what a terrible pain it is.

unfortunately, the world leaders, who once guaranteed Ukraine complete protection, are trying to turn a blind eye to the fact that the russians are once again violating all international human and environmental laws.

I don't get tired of reminding and asking each of you not to stop supporting Ukrainians, spreading information about the russian war in Ukraine and not tolerating everything russian to show criminal russia and world leaders that you do not tolerate russian terrorism, its culture and products!

Russian obsession is hurting and stealing our kids

Imagine your young brother and sister are playing football and out of nowhere there's an explosion because of which they need amputation of limb. After that moment, they're no more kids or teenagers, their dreams and life shattered. Maybe before all of that, they dream of achievements in sports. And now they need to adapt to the whole new world because of Russia. For Ukrainians it's reality. When in one moment your childhood turns upside down.

As a result of the strike on Kharkiv, seven were wounded when a shell hit in the middle of a football field.

Two boys of the 4 children (boys: aged 14, 14, 15, and a girl aged 8) are in serious condition - they were playing football at a sports ground in the Saltovsky district of the city. One child has a traumatic amputation. One boy and girl in average condition. An 8-year-old girl has a head wound and craniocerebral injury. A 55-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman who were near the site of the explosion were also injured. No air alert was declared in the city or region during the attack because radars don't find threats, maybe it flew too low.

That's new reality to one of the injured boys now.

Frank - one of the loyal friends of Ukraine. Thank you for your immense support!

And good news about the children today. Eleven more children from the Kherson region have been taken out of the temporary occupation.

Two orphaned girls aged 10 and 13 have been returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine. As well as nine children who have parents or one of them. These are 5 girls and 4 boys, aged 1 to 16 years.

This became possible thanks to the charitable organization Save Ukraine, the guardianship and custody authorities, as well as the regional service for children and the children's parents.

"Now the children are in a safe place where they receive the necessary medical and psychological care," said Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional State Administration.

I wish Christians were actually being attacked the way they say they are. They're pushing America further into hell, and it's Bible Thumpers creating the laws that endorse it. You are not being attacked. You are winning at every single turn, bro.

Some people say 'I love Steve' but the way they talk about him is just? My dude, you don't even know him.

"I love Steve!" They say, and then say things like they're fact about a man who is not even Steve that they made up in their heads lmao. Pure Clownery. Sometimes those things are mean and sometimes they just don't make sense.

Like Steve as a blushing and delicate nervous flower?? He is confident and charming and goofy! Yeah he's sweet but not docile. Who is this man they're talking about. What is happening there. Let him be suave.

Steve as an unrepentant bully? He was homophobic to Jon and insulted his family and then got his ass beat and realized oh no I shouldn't have done or said all that it was really bad and went to fix it and apologize? He mostly ignored people, didn't realize they existed (like Robin said) Maybe he and or Tommy/Carol spread a rumour or two, but I highly doubt they ruined anyone's life. Literally just a rich mean girl kinda guy who could make a bitchy remark and barely registered anyone not on his radar. Annoying and a jerk, but not horrible. Being popular requires people to like you, remember.

Being a doormat who never complains? Please. Steve complains all the time. He makes muttered remarks about things the kids do or say. He rolls his eyes like it's going out of style. He says no! He kvetches with the best of them (Robin)! He cares and helps but my god he's not doing it quietly.

Who is this man why is he so different from the Steve I know and love?
