I really need to know how the Catholic church defines gender ideology. Is it still a neo-colonial tool of an international feminist conspiracy? Or is it the right to abortion, sexual orientation, gender identity, diverse families, sexEd, HIV prevention...? Please send help ⛪️
in 9/22, at a illegal dumpster place, I found a bastard puppy in #Montenegro and took it home. besides giardia & minor behavioral issues, she was OK. parents fell in ❤️ so she stayed. Clea is so cool now. after spending 2weeks there, there are less strayed dogs everywhere 🇲🇪👏
you know its summer when the polarising issues in Slovakia are: 1) whether Croatia has become unbearable expensive 🇭🇷 2) how many bears are too much bears 🐻

@VeruVichova 🇨🇿 on disinfo in Central Europe: governments are on a democratic backslight due to inaction in the information space. the most resilient societies have a more wholistic approach-CSOs, media, business, policy makers...#RightsCon2023
