@straczynski Are you SERIOUS? Checking on the origin of the name is a Google search. I guess awareness of our literary giants no longer arrives in the brain via osmosis. (I give people a pass on the publishing executives tho.)

I wasn't aware this was going on, but I just got an email from Fyodor Dostoyevsky who confirmed this is a really big problem. Also mentioned he's stuck in a Miami airport without funds. Will do what I can to help out.

2 of 2) There’s a deluge of these things now, pretending not only to be from contemporary authors but dead ones as well: James Joyce, Agatha Christie etc. (And bad actors are also posing as publishing executives, btw.) Please repost to help spread the word!

My dad, a Ukrainian-American tenor who occasionally sang in public, was known for this song.

Did you know the first song performed in outer space was Ukrainian? 🇺🇦🚀

I often get accused of having a “pro-Ukraine bias.” Here’s the truth. I am biased.
I’m biased towards freedom, democracy, & human rights. That’s what Ukraine represents right now.
When you document war crimes, you don’t pretend there are “two sides” for balance. You show what is happening. One side is the aggressor. One side is the victim.
If that offends you, you’re morally bankrupt.

@Matt_Pinner It's a rutabega. I think it is also sometimes called a "swede".

I’m currently having a blazing argument, please help me settle this once and for all.
What is this???

Zelensky just reminded JD Vance that calling Ukrainian territory a "scrap of land" isn't a negotiating position. It's an insult.
With full diplomatic courtesy and zero diplomatic softness, Zelensky explained what Vance apparently doesn't know: the territory in question has 200,000 residents, strong fortifications, and sits exactly where Russia wants to build a bridgehead for its next offensive. Giving it up doesn't end the war. It stages the next one.
Then the closing line: "Every square meter of our land is Ukrainian land and, with all due respect to any of our partners, it is definitely not theirs."
There's no misreading that sentence.

@FamilyExpert15 Happy Easter to you and your family, Jonathan. Christ is Risen...truly He is Risen!

Happy Easter!
From 2000-2002 I was a missionary in Chile, serving and preaching and teaching about Jesus Christ. I want to share that time of my life with you.
This was a pivotal experience for me, leaving home and family, immersing myself in a different culture, and focusing on the needs of others as a minister.
Both current and former members of my faith often speak fondly of their missionary service, for one common reason: the love was real. What would you like to know about this experience or my beliefs?

I imagine this explanation seems logical to you. In the past, native names were routinely changed...by colonizers. Since then our world has become aware of how profoundly disrespectful it is for outsiders to alter a name - or an identity - to suit a taste or an agenda

From time to time I see comments like: “It’s Kiev, not Kyiv” “It’s Kievan Rus” But “Kiev” is the russian version of our city’s name. Kyiv is how we say it. How it lives in our language, our history. And every time we choose Kyiv - we choose to keep that alive. Because it’s not just a name. It’s who we are.

@CarmenMedinaXQ Little bear appears to be in a costume - interesting.

I saved this photo from a set leak in December of 2024 and since then I’ve been dying to know the story behind that little stuffed bear.🧸 It’s finally about to be revealed!!

One of my Roma tomato plants got catastrophically broken, but I kept "Stick" watered and in the sun. Now, it may be growing a new branch. That little bud wasn't there yesterday.

@adam_nimoy Thank you for acknowledging the Ukrainian origins of your family. In past years your father's ethnicity was typically identified as Russian. The correction is much appreciated by those of us who share the same heritage.

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine

I spoke at @ChathamHouse on the question of Ukraine’s cultural identity and why its protection is key to a durable peace.

@Jolz_Aust I don't think he's planning to "rewrite" anything. Colbert is a major and respectful fan of Tolkien. I expect he will do his best to honor the Professor's legacy.

@CarmenMedinaXQ Thanks for getting me started on Asian dramas, fantasy and otherwise! I have enjoyed them greatly these last few years.

If you’ll open yourself up to watching fantasy from other countries, you’ll find the whimsy, vibrant colors, and sheer majestic beauty is still out there—just with added subtitles.
