#Latvian charity system #ZiedotLV, for which I can vouch, it's *the* online charity platform, has launched an amazing service for recurring donations to #Ukraine.
I'm subscribing to #DronesForUkraine right now, join me!
BTW, I absolutely understand #Polish sentiment.
Think about what happened to them in #WW2: getting attacked by #Germany and #USSR at the same time.
The West has failed to act on their intervention promises.
Displaced Poles accepted as refugees in neighbouring countries, which, very quickly, fell to #nazis, forcing them to move again.
Poles fighting alongside Charles De Gaulle's armies and flying wing to wing with British and Indian #RAF pilots.
Red army failing to act on their intervention promise during Warsaw uprising despite having a huge battle group not 30 KM away down the Vistula river.
And finally, when the victory felt near, the West has betrayed them once again, agreeing to give #Poland to #stalin.
So while I find anti-humanist takes by Mr. Makler and his fellow #kremlin-paid actors absolutely disgusting, I can't blame those Poles who know the recent history of their country for falling for it.
The problem is that, sadly, it perpetuates situations like the ones Poland was during #WW2, so even though I understand anti-humanist voices, even of those who delude themselves into thinking that there is any logic in what Mr. Makler is saying beyond pure revanchism, I have zero respect for Poles who fall for this.
A big part of the reason of why I decided to not tie my life with #Poland back during the active phase of war in #Syria (I was living in #Krakow back then) was the popular opposition to accepting refugees. I would ask Poles "do you understand that when a person flees the war you accept them first and ask questions later, if not for that, you personally wouldn't be here", but this very basic argument, sadly, would fall on deaf ears.
This is why today, I and all of my #Ukraine support network #boycott #polish products.
Nice export income you have there, would be a shame if something happened to it.

Bold of the guy to toot toots with #NAFO tags with one hand and spew #kremlin agenda with another.

3-0 on a very tough server vs some mythic-level #MTGArena players.
Will put out the recordings if anyone is interested.
I'm trying to play #MagicTheGathering every day.
Today was another study in "who's the beatdown".
https://www.17lands.com/user/deck/dfa4319f415d48adb9c3dbbea4bf1495/59530285/1707783372 didn't manage to 7-2 with this.
Cornered Crook felt bad (should've replaced it with Make Your Move!) and there were quite some interesting spots. For example, here perhaps I Galvanize their two-drop?

Shower thought. #FBI has killed #AaronSwartz? Why can't they kill #DonaldTrump? Can only hunt the defenseless.

Random thought — I have a tight-knit #Ukraine support group which is a band of my friends and me. My friends also contribute to other groups, so do I. There are amazing humans like @EugeneMcParland on mastodon with whom I'm only acquainted here, but we don't live that far from each other.
Question: if all of us will try to get together after the victory of #Ukraine, how large of a venue will we have to book? Where would be the "center of mass" of such gathering?
I love this review of Xanthippe's Last Night wist Socrates, which has just now been put on the IFDB:

Please watch this! Not only #Russia is our enemy, never forget about it.
Stay focused. We’ve known for 4 years that, short of death, Trump would be the Republicans’ nominee in 2024. The margin of his wins in Republican primaries and caucuses makes no difference, whatever the headlines and pundits say. We will have to fight using what we have, which will be - again, short of death - be Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, and all the down ballot Democrats across the country. Every last one of them should make it clear that constitutional democracy is at stake.
