I have always had this as MY mantra. I'm not the one to judge if I managed or not, but that dosen't make the advice less valid!

While I wait for my house-trained artist to make a proper cover, I’ve been playing around myself. I’m NOT going to use an AI-generated cover; these are just ideas. Which do you prefer: drawing or photo? #ASentenceABlade #LiteraryFiction #BookCover #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #BookSky

"The rest of the evening we exchanged our thoughts in silence." Another of my brilliant sentences from my still unpublished novel 😜😀

Bastard!

UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside. The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence. Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up, served their economic interest, ideological purpose.

I stand with President Zelenskyy 👇

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Well written, funny and also food for thought!

One thing is now blatantly obvious: Europe has to get out of the US's technological grip. When US and their oligarchs can turn on and of the defence of Europe we know what we have to do -- get control of our own satellites and defence. The US is now a failing ally.

When will I learn not to promise to make an Ottolenghi recipe? Only sorting out the ingredients take half a day! Guess it is because it tasts so fing good and even I cant ruin it!

💔💔A 21-year-old girl was killed in Kyiv by a russian attack. Eight others were injured. A hospital, school, metro station, and homes were damaged. According to journalist Alex Raufoglu, Ukraine once again received no warning from its American partners about the ballistic attack.

I've got 2 words for Trump, both beginning with B. 'Bonkers' is what he is, and 'Bollocks' is what he says most of the time. Given he, with his inflated Ego, is the US President, he is a very dangerous man.

IMPORTANT‼️: Zelenskyy stated that there are Starlink speed limitations in Ukraine but not in the EU, and that this is a planned operation ‼️ Zelenskyy to journalists (full statement translated): Regarding the work of Starlink on the territory of Ukraine: whether everything has recovered,

Please get rid of this fascist!

🤬 24 missiles in just 20 minutes! russia unleashed another massive attack on Kryvyi Rih and Zaporizhzhia. A residential building in Zaporizhzhia was hit.

TACO is no longer hiding the fact that he is a Russian asset, setting aside the Sanctions approved by Congress. What a fucking bastard!

❤️ Did you know you can watch my YouTube videos in different languages? If English isn’t your first language, You can still hear my stories from Ukraine in a language you’re comfortable with! 🎥 Watch and subscribe: youtube.com/@angelica.sh...

TACO is saying Zelenskyy is harder to deal with than Putin. Well, not strange as Putin is his puppet master! He is sooo a Russian asset! Get that shit-bag out of office!

This is a Russian jet-powered Shahed drone striking a supermarket in Odesa in broad daylight today. ​This is terrorism. Terrorists shouldn't be rewarded with lucrative business deals. They must be repelled, arrested, and prosecuted.

Watching "Fellow travellers" - it is great. What really gets me though other than the complete and utter homophobia of the times is how alined in philosophy and moral McCarthy et al in fact was with Iranian Islamic state and medieval christian philosophy and moral. Watch it! It is great!

Read John Crace today and found a new word: Panglossian. Looked it up: Naively or unreasonably optimistic. & Of or relating to the view that this is the best of all possible worlds. First sounds a bit like me, the second a bit more like Candid :D

Reuters reports that the Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on shadow fleet tankers carrying russian, Iranian and Venezuelan oil. Just days after lifting sanctions on russian diesel. As a Ukrainian, it’s heartbreaking to watch.

🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦 My friends in the UK, our President Zelenskyy has arrived in your country! Please take good care of him and give him the warm welcome you always do. He deserves it!

I'm never proud of being "Norwegian" (As I am through heritage and upbringing), "Canadian" (as I was at birth) or "British" (as I'm now) bc I'm not very found of nationalism, BUT well done Norway

Zelensky is awesome 👇

🇺🇦👇🏼

While clearing debris following a Russian strike in Kharkiv, a concrete slab collapsed onto rescue workers. One of them is in critical condition. They are working under unbelievable pressure, with people screaming for help from under the rubble and russian drones continue to

🤬 THIS IS HELL russia struck another residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Five floors destroyed. People’s homes turned into ruins. How many more Ukrainian homes must be destroyed? How many more lives must be shattered before the world says ENOUGH? This is what russian terror looks like.

I'm looking into self publishing my first novel. In doing so I realised that I for the last years have not used £1,000 trading allowance to reduce my tax bill. Shock and horror! I have overpaid my tax with £1,200. For some this would be haunting them forever. I Hope it was well spent! I pay my tax!

🚨 BREAKING FROM UKRAINE🇺🇦 Ukrainian forces have pushed russian troops back near Dobropillia! The 425th Skelia Assault Regiment and Azov Corps, supported by Lasar’s Group, carried out a joint operation near Hruzke and Novomykolaivka.

What a xenophobic lier!

From wikipedia: "Zionism[a] is an ethnic nationalist movement... " I'd say that's a pure definition of racism. There has been a few previous attempts on "ethnic nationalist movements", like for instance in Germany in the 1930-40's... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday. And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some,

by destroying our infrastructure. This is just such a low and cruel betrayal that it's hard to wrap my head around...

essentially becoming sponsors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Just a day after a horrific terrorist attack by Russia that killed so many, and just before the winter when the Russian government screams from all the rooftops that they are going to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine

Good morning from Ukraine 🇺🇦 We will stand even if Trump imposes sanctions on us. That’s the message. #ukraine #trump #russia #war #ukrainians

I am Ukrainian. I don’t expect the world to love my country. But I do expect human lives To matter more than oil, money, And political games. Apparently, even that is too much to expect. #ukraine #trump #putin #russia #oil
