…such beautiful architecture! Ty for sharing

I often show you St Andrew’s Church in Kyiv.

This week, I want to take my Patreon supporters inside
and see the views from the hill together.

It’s my way of saying thank you for helping me continue showing Ukraine to the world.
The invitation to the live walk will be sent tomorrow.

Once again, if you believed the Conservatives, apparently Trump is rational and has been willing to negotiate but the problem is Carney.
This is risible. #QP

Das Bild zeigt eine winterliche Szene mit einer gefrorenen Wasserfläche, auf der zahlreiche Möwen stehen oder sich bewegen. Im Hintergrund sind schneebedeckte Bäume und ein belebtes Ufer zu sehen, an dem sich Menschen aufhalten. Dahinter ragen mehrstöckige Gebäude mit teilweise schneebedeckten Dächern empor.

Good afternoon everyone 🌏

A mallard duck floats at the center of a still pond, sending out ripples that expand in ever-widening circles across the water. The surface reflects trees in shimmering gold and green, their shapes bending and wavering as the concentric rings gently distort the mirrored scene.

‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Renaming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor.

I thought this was satire.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Gorgeous!

Lunch time for this little one! 🦌🌱🦌

Prime Minister Carney announces new Advisory Committee on Canada-U.S. Economic Relations To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced the creation of the new Advisory Committee on Canada-U.S. Economic Relations.

Our PM didn’t come to play #Canada

🇨🇦 is approaching its economic relationship with 🇺🇸 with focus, discipline, unity. This new Advisory Committee ensures that 🇨🇦 is drawing on the best advice & broadest perspectives to advance 🇨🇦 economic interests.

I totally like what she's doing. Commercial flights over private planes every day. But honestly, just accept the business class upgrade. It's literally how the airline stays profitable.

Beautiful! Ty for sharing…..

The northern lights shining bright. 11:18 PM central time Monday, April 20, 2026.

Long narrow twigs of a red maple have burst into flower and are pointed skyward. Balanced precariously on the very end of one of the twigs is a red winged blackbird. Behind the branches is a pale blue sky, with not a cloud in sight.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, set by @alan678.bsky.social, here is a red winged blackbird sitting on a flowering maple.
