Black and white photo of a black cat posed next to a copy of the book "War Economy"
Mikey is beautiful. Shadow says hello to a fellow black cat literary model.
Got my hard copy of @prospectmagazine.co.uk with my Kyiv diary in it. You can read the piece online (link below), but if, like me--and Mikey, pictured here--you prefer the feel of a printed magazine, pick one up at your nearest newsagent.

Also, the assumption that someone who works in a care home or on a farm that grows crops "contributes less" than a higher earner is just bizarre - contributes less to what? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
well, today in floridly depressing news: the French helpline for female victims of male violence is facing "coordinated" attacks from men's rights activists, who keep calling up in the hope of making it harder for women to reach their services
If Donald asks Zelensky for anti drone systems, he better wear a suit, ask nicely and say thank you.

This was a lot of fun to do. Thanks so much to @gillianmurphy.bsky.social and @lselibrary.bsky.social for letting me co-curate this new exhibition celebrating 100 years of the Women's Library collection. Such an important resource

I agree that war in the Middle East will take the war in Ukraine off of Trump's radar, but the US is not in any way pushing Putin towards peace
Thanks to Oleg Sukhov for quoting me (among other experts) in this @kyivindependent.com article considering the possible impact of #Trump's war on #Iran on #Russia's war on #Ukraine

A country lane on a cloudy early spring day
Clusters of snowdrops in bloom on a bank under a hedge
A sheep and her lamb just visible at a distance in a green field.
A closer, blurrier photo of the sheep and lamb in the field
Damp and mild for a late afternoon walk down the lane. The snowdrops are blooming enthusiastically and the first lamb of spring has been spotted. ๐
It's now over 4 years since state news agency RIA Novosti published an article celebrating the success of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, realised their mistake, and deleted it. The original is here web.archive.org/web/20220226...; translation is here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/14980...

Our colleague @guttmannaviva.bsky.social's new book, Operation Wrath of God, has received another excellent review - this one published in the RUSI Journal. @sandbaggerone.bsky.social describes it as "a book that cannot be recommended highly enough" ๐๐๐

Baby Ozzy attending his first committee meeting aged four months. A small astonished ball of fluff on the table, surrounded by dons.
Ozzy at one year old. Suave, immaculate gentleman cat with massive quantities of fur and amber eyes.
Ozymandias, King of Kings, is one year old today.
He successfully overcame FIP to become the luxuriantly-furred and mighty hunter that he is today, and we are very proud of him.
Happy Birthday, Ozzy!
Loved my friend and colleague Anna Chikovaniโs photo from todayโs protest commemorating 105 years since the Soviet Russian occupation of Georgia.
Her expression is so firm, determined, concerned and calm at the same time.

More - unsurprising, but nevertheless disgusting - details about the brutality of the Russian way of war and systemic contempt for human lives (towards their own troops, too).
The most mind-boggling thing is that tens of thousands still sign up monthly to go die in Ukraine
Shows you how much Ukraine has achieved with the moderate, cautious help of its allies. It has thwarted russia's plans, in the process defending Europe and the international order.
