how he starts calm and bursts into tears hearing about his little daughter he hadn’t seen because Russia kept him a prisoner 💔❤️‍🩹 was hard to translate this particular call from a Ukrainian defender , but I felt world needs to see and hear it.

Ukraine brought home 205 prisoners in the first stage of a 1000-for-1000 exchange. Most were Mariupol defenders captured in 2022, including Azov fighters from Azovstal.

@ModestyQueen19 AND genealogy!

The older I get, the more I understand why older women disappear into gardening, candles, comfy clothes, and silence.

A bunch of ladies at a window during the visit of Catherine, Princess of Wales to Reggio Emilia, Italy Not even Francis Ford Coppola could have framed them this perfectly ✨ Italians 🇮🇹

Here is a prediction: China will push Trump to take a deal with Iran with China guaranteeing overseeing removal of nuclear material, a ten year agreement not to pursue nukes, $20 billion and lifting of sanctions, Iran opens Strait of Hormuz (and charge tolls for ships.) 1

Roald Dahl on Measles: Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.

@KeruboSk My grandmother was born in 1898 and I knew her. She was a college-educated teacher and very prim and proper. I also knew a great uncle born in 1888. He was a little guy but the life of the party. Always had a half dollar to pass when he shook our hands. Loved them!

Just out of curiosity… who out there has actually talked to someone born in the 1800s during their lifetime?

@JamesLucasIT Hikmet Kaya shows what patience and purpose can achieve. Turning barren land into living forest is not just restoration it’s hope growing roots over time.

@tarheel_texas Yes! I’m in Dallas and I’ve had different colors of Lantana over the years. I have a white one now that dies back in the winter, I cut the dead stems off, & it resurrects in the spring. I didn’t have luck w a purple one coming back. The pink/orange ones seem to be the hardiest.

Good morning from North Texas. I am thinking about planting Lantana. Will Lantana thrive in Texas?

A drone that brought food to Ukrainian Defenders on positions, brought back passengers - a cat and dog. They flew 12 kilometers during their evacuation. The Defenders of 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade are taking care of them.

@Architectolder @CaramelCookiie Yes and I don’t want my hair getting wet every time I shower

@CaramelCookiie Good point. A lot of people say they hate a rain shower head. I can see their point, so the option would be great

Window in the shower?

@ThatEricAlper Good Girls Revolt

What’s a TV show you loved but only lasted a season or two?

@TrueFactsStated @jamestalarico @JasmineForUS This has been tough since I really like both (voted for JC tho), but I’ll vote for either one against the GOP candidate, esp that crook Ken Paxton!

Who’s gonna win the primary in Texas? @jamestalarico or @JasmineForUS?

@notcapnamerica lol AND one time sent in to get a jar of horseradish while she waited in the car and coming back w horseradish SAUCE. “Well that’ll have to do.” I’ve never bought it since without reliving that trauma.

Your Mom leaving you in the grocery checkout line while she ran to grab another item was peak panic attack. As you inched closer to the register sweating bullets 😫

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

@mrmikeMTL Include social interactions and laughing with the usual good diet, exercise, sleep, etc. I’ve been healthier being with people almost daily since retirement than alone at work in an office. Better immunity.

People who rarely get sick, What's your secret

@papiwontmiss What a perv to even see anything “curvy” in a 3 year old! They are so unformed and innocent. You did the right thing.

A guy I know was commenting on my daughter’s body. How she is well built and curvy etc. She is a 3yo. I got scared. I cut him out of my life and people are saying I'm overeacting.

Funniest thing I’ve seen all day… 😂😂 x.com/OunkaOnX/statu…
