@ia_studying We are in a strange place. We do have white privilege, or we would have had in a more diverse country, but our home countries are quite homogenous. And within the real "West" we are not quite as white as everyone else ;)
@ia_studying You have nothing to apologize for. I also use my main twitter and Facebook to spread news, that might otherwise not reach my friends and family. Even if this means starting a fight with my father, who has fallen for Russian disinfo and propaganda🤬
After we were almost done clearing up the bureaucracy nonsense, we found out that the grandma has a very serious condition, and requires recurring treatment in a big city hospital. So the family decided to not come to us. They will remain in the crowded refugee center😭
No matter how I feel about the Russian language right now, I need to drop everything else and concentrate on it. Tomorrow we are picking up a refugee family, to live with us - grandma, mom and two little boys, so I need to be able to talk to them.

@ohnonero Today on the protest an old lady appealed on the mic to Putin’s humanity to stop the war 😒 Lady, I am protesting for the German gov to hear me, not that butcher, he doesn’t even care about his own people.
@ohnonero Afaik all the opposing countries are now on board. Supposedly it is a matter of “days” and the technical preparations are going on. Just in case, me and ny husband are going tomorrow on a protest to demand more involvement. Love 💛💙
.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.

Language learning takes resources - not just money for books and courses, but also time and attention. People, who are struggling with their living situations, more often than not are lacking said resources. It’s a privilege.
Omg its so weird being back in your home country, hearing a language you can speak with absolutely no barriers all around! I am so used to this invisible wall of premeditated output, this feeedom is almost overwhelming.
