For the past 3 yrs, Sweden has supported @DjiboutiIom's lifesaving assistance, voluntary returns & reintegration for migrants on eastern route. During a visit to Djibouti, Embassy representatives saw the vital work of IOM & local authorities to support migrants & host communities

We mark four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The EU remains committed to supporting Ukraine in achieving a just and lasting peace based on the principles of the UN charter, essential for Ukraine’s future and Europe’s long term security. #standwithUkraine

It would be so so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health workshop in my previous tweet if you have a few seconds. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not remotely proud of this) and I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously. I so love teaching people how to draw & how it changes brain biochemistry resulting in better mental health 🌿

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. He said, “Do you think Mel would let me play it? I’ve always wanted to do a comedy.” Needless to say, I was over the moon and he was perfect.

Once again, proud to be Finnish! An excellent speech, Mr. President @alexstubb

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Captain “Sully” Sullenberger slams Trump for blaming DEI for the American Airlines crash in DC: “An airplane cannot know or care who the pilot is - what their skin tone is, what gender they are.”

RETWEET if you stand with Captain Sully against Trump!

If social media's stressing you out just now (me too) then here's a gentle antidote:
pause for a few seconds & focus on the details in my photo👇-your brain's v likely to release dopamine, lifting your mood due to the bright colours & relax in response to the botanical patterns🌿

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Wishing a happy Burns Night to all my friends around the world celebrating the immortal bard #BurnsNight

President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. https://t.co/dZHL0Nu0Tj
