Happy writing fun ball.

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

We lost my dad today, around 4:30 p.m. I am shattered. He is and forever will be my light, my hero, my best friend. The person who knows me best in the world. The most compassionate soul and best human I’ve ever known. I will write more, much more, soon. For now, a short thread.

@andymikhailovic @WassermanJ69066 I'm still stuck on how she was forced to admit she was a random-ass American woman and not a Jew from Luhansk, and most of her followers were like "that's cool she's still the expert on this situation"

@BisonTrample Blue skkkyyyyyy

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

Finally deleted this infernal app from my phone. I will still be logging in from time to time on laptop, because sadly I do need to keep an eye on here for work, but no reason to keep this soul-sucking mess ever-present on my phone.

No new wars was a misnomer

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@DanOhta Yup. It’s only through my special interest-level focus on stuff like the Station Nightclub fire that I now damn well know the second I see flame in a space like that I am booking it for the nearest direct exit. Immediately.

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

Phones don’t help, but I think many people don’t necessarily immediately realize how bad an initially moderate-looking fire can get, how quickly. They think they have any number of minutes to get out of the area, when in reality it can be mere seconds.

This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.

@Bartaway @WassermanJ69066 @geogvma LOL I’ll ask, I never knew the name but we walked past it once, kinda near the Ippodrome metro station if I recall correctly. Fave spot of many a Chinese businessman in Kyiv.

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@WassermanJ69066 @geogvma Aye, I haven’t been as I was hanging out with devotees of only true authentic and as I understand that place is not, but I’ve heard good things.

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@WassermanJ69066 @geogvma Kitaiski Pelmeni is extremely good btw, the lamb + cumin is incredible

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@WassermanJ69066 @geogvma Chopsticks / Palychki. Chinese owner + chef, authentic, lots of Chinese folks there all the time. Also Kitaiski Pelmeni (same owner). And a Chinese-owned BBQ place in Holosiivskyi that I never went to, but my companion went there all the time with his Chinese friends

“Why didn’t they let us into their daycare”

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@j2dumfounded @nickshirleyy It doesn’t draft under age 25, but there are volunteer contract soldiers who are younger, as in any army. Many people 18+ have stepped up to serve by choice. So that part isn’t wrong.

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@cabeerbara @nickshirleyy That’s just outside Kyiv (may even be technically inside Kyiv city limits still), it’s part of the old earthworks heading towards Irpin / Bucha, that direction.

@WassermanJ69066 Snail goo is actually a huge and very good thing in Korean skincare so, like, I’m not NOT interested in cutting out the middleman

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

@WassermanJ69066 The pseudoscience treatments at Ukrainian resorts get me. I was encouraged to enjoy the package including “vaginal hydroirrigation” in Myrhorod and politely declined

[𝗃ells @jellymoths]

do yall even understand how much power grok is using to do this on twitter

[rush mountmore @wombxyn]

I'm crowdfunding a new anti-woke daycare that will let men with iphones come in and look at your kids at any time

@brent_bellamy @WestEndCassidy This is… odd
