The other day, I visited an exhibition that left me speechless.
It shows women who lost their sons and husbands in the war.

I’m sharing part of it with a poem that played during the video.
I added English subtitles. For you.

Please watch. And share. So others can see too.

I invite you to the top of
Bell Tower of Dormition Cathedral.
It is a different video version from the one you may have seen in the Life Behind the Lines Letter.

I want everyone to experience beautiful Kyiv and understand what we fight for.

A little bit of important levity. And, importantly, #TheCatCameBack
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

So, about #liberationday… (🙄) am I the only one wondering if the army of goons on standby will be part of the “festivities”?

Very powerful article about speaking up now, in what feels like a state of emergency, even in Canada. 🩵🤍🩷

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"

Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

Wait, what?! For a second there I thought this was another stupid executive order from that asshole in the White House… but why am I surprised, really? Those damn orcas are in the way of the resource shipping lanes, after all. /s #eyeroll #ffs
