Russia is draining a massive Ukrainian reservoir, endangering a nuclear plant. This imperils land they claim is theirs. #Russia has a rich history of ruining their own land, "we will out die you" seems their doctrine. #Ukraine

Borbness is more than a matter of shape. It's a matter of attitude.
Twitter refugee still learning all the things. She/her, nerd, ADHD, JD, vaxxed, cat staffmember, Open Mind, Open Hearts, Open Doors, unpaid shill for the imperfect. Still pulling for those taco trucks on every corner.
