Last year I lost my son, this year I lost my daughter.
At 20 weeks, she just... left.
I was so so happy of having her... she was so so wanted...
How do you cope with grief? Life feels like a bottomless dark pit.

@Noirsoldat_ His signature smile is perfect to describe the situation.
50% happy to be here 50% wtf

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@GasparusMagnus ngl it was both hilarious and unnerving

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

I'm a lucky little unicorn to find myself on the same photo with @panyiszabolcs and @holger_r ✨ they produce some of the best journalism on my two home countries and I'm so grateful for their work 🇭🇺🇪🇪

also this James Nachtwey guy photobombed us

Szabolcs Panyi and Holger Roonemaa in Tallinn talking about their priceless investigative work on Russian influence in Hungary?
I'll be there and you should too.

[Szabolcs Panyi @panyiszabolcs]

💥🇪🇪 This Thursday I'll be speaking with @holger_r in Tallinn about investigating Russian influence in Hungary and our joint story on the Péter Szijjártó–Sergey Lavrov calls — made even more fun as Estonian actors will read out their conversations.

@panyiszabolcs @steven_seegel @holger_r omg I'll be in Tallinn that day 🤩 will absolutely be there

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

27.04.2024.
Péter Magyar with his crew in my parents' front yard.
He just launched his first country tour, but suddenly needed ASAP accommodation in the city of Pécs.
Mom told us to keep this secret.
Today Magyar became Prime Minister.
We no longer have to keep it secret.
❤️🤍💚

@MiMiLooLooTx @panyiszabolcs @Telexhu the only thing that's hysterical is your ignorance

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@biljanaorama I think you can imagine it.
Both my parents are enterpreneurs with 5 childen plus they run a disabled people's workplace that relies on grants.
If the regime wants to mess with you, it will.

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@zsoltsb that was my reaction as well when I heard

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@GodIs_A_dj in 2024? He literally just entered politics back then. He didn't even have a party.

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@Arnold_Platon this was hilarious

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@italypilled she's starting a podcast, so we can at least hear her again.
She's also finished a carpentry course, she makes bangin' coffee tables nowadays.

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@MarcnesiumHH That's the point - he was asked. But he mostly dodged the question and used it to highlight the authoritarian streak of Fidesz.

He does not plan on banning or restricting the Pride himself, btw.

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

I still had so much to say about Hungary.
I'm grateful to Edasi for letting it out of my system without restrictions and loaded questions.

Since it's in Estonian and behind paywall, here are a few key things. ⬇️

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@Noirsoldat_ I personally wasn't very bothered by this nomination (there are worse) but I really respect them for the decision.
Also a huge middle finger to all the vatniks whining how Magyar is second Orbán because nepotism.

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@jurihunt1 "won't someone think of the baltisakslased??"

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

@viktoriaserdult Yay! Great article.
