Looks like Finnish people might want to officially join NATO - enough people signed a citizens initiative to force a parliamentary debate in any event, which seems to be a major shift in public opinion. Russian aggression in Ukraine has pushed the Finnish public closer than ever to NATO. Finnish political parties will gather on Tuesday to discuss Russiaβs attack on Ukraine and Finlandβs role in Europeβs new power balance. Finlandβs potential NATO membership will also be on the table, Prime Minister Sanna Marin told reporters Monday. The mood in Helsinki is tense: Finland has Europeβs longest border with Russia at over 1,300 kilometers, but is not a part of the military alliance. The country is a close ally of NATO, but there has been little appetite to join the club β until now.... www.politico.eu/article/finland-nato-membership-sanna-marin-ukraine-russia/

This is an interesting look at an AI machine running a lot of the disinformation coming from Russia.

I guess I'll be knitting some stuffed animals "some day"...... I found a lady with a lovely sewing shop but her patterns are way above my skill level. So Iβll be buying some aspirational sewing patterns. I found a shop (CheerfulWatercolors) full of beautiful watercolor prints, alas I have more windows & doorways than wall space. I need to narrow it down significantlyβ¦and then rearrange my entire bedroom.

I got a really sweet note from one of the Etsy shop owners that I bought a couple pdfs from. My few dollars don't really feel like enough, but I hope that man and his son are able to stay safe.

@athn do you mind sharing the beading etsy link? That seems like a hobby I'd totally be down to buy all the supplies for and then never do. Lol

Jen says the US will absolutely accept refugees from Ukraine but says all indications are that the vast majority will want to remain in Europe

These are prints, so it would just be a matter of sending it off to be printed and then frame it. Not actually water coloring yourself. www.etsy.com/shop/CheerfulWatercolors?ref=cart_shop_name_click&cart_id=5979411950

I was doomscrolling Twitter. It was a bad idea. I started watching a video and it was of injured people coming to a hospital and i realized too late it was a little girl. Can't stop crying .

Lol Buying the stuff for a hobby I never quite master is basically my main hobby I have a sewing machine from my sewing phase and tons of yarn and knitting needles from my knitting phase. The best is a partially completed embroidered baby bib that I started for my now 18-yo nephew and I was going to then complete for the subsequent 5 nieces/nephews and 2 DDs. ETA: just realized which thread this is in. The courage of the Ukrainians is inspiring and the videos of Zelensky pre-president are humorous.

'This double standard is so evident in how we as Westerners engage in international relations. Far too often, we dehumanize non-White populations, diminishing their importance, and that leads to one thing: the degrading of their right to live in dignity. Beyond the moral and ethical imperatives, there are geopolitical ones β by engaging with suffering in this myopic way, we embolden other Putins. They realize that the checks against them will be mostly weak and ineffectual, as long as the so-called civilized world is left alone.' Coverage of Ukraine has exposed long-standing racist biases in Western media www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/28/ukraine-coverage-media-racist-biases/

Holy hell if they actually used a thermobaric bomb. Absolutely unconscionable.

Holy hell if they actually used a thermobaric bomb. Absolutely unconscionable. I had seen some chatter about a possible thermobaric explosion a couple of days ago- yesterday? (what is time?), but it more likely was an ammunitions reserve being hit. Is this the same event? Did they confirm it was thermobaric?

So what happens if Russia is using vacuum bombs and continues to break the Geneva convention rules?

I read the oil depot that was blown up was hit by a thermobaric bomb but who knows for sure.
