Grumpy young dragon roped into helping an elf stop a war and save the island of Ireland. On the way she also learns to be a friend. #PitMad #MG #F

First They Came For

A critically important poem written by German Pastor Martin Niemöller, arrested in the late 1930s by the Nazi regime & released by the Allies in 1946.

He was describing the step up of the Nazi regime to persecute varying sections of society, & how the population didn’t speak out to defend those groups because ….they were not them.

You will never see a better sports Ad, or in particular an add for the women’s game, quite as genius as this. Absolutely brilliant 😍⚽️😍⚽️

Combat medic Iryna Tsybukh and bandura (national Ukrainian instrument) player Krut somewhere in the fields of Donetsk. Iryna's team works on the first line of evacuation, closest to the frontlines.

They are singing a poem by Ukrainian poetess Lesia Ukrainka. The poem is called "Contra spem spero!" ("Hoping without hope" - in Latin).

Some lines from this poem:

No, I want to smile through tears and weeping.,
Sing my songs where evil holds its sway,
Hopeless, a steadfast hope forever keeping,
I want to live! You thoughts of grief, away!

On poor sad fallow land unused to tilling
I'll sow blossoms, brilliant in hue,
I'll sow blossoms where the frost lies, chilling,
I'll pour bitter tears on them as due.

And those burning tears shall melt, dissolving
All that mighty crust of ice away.
Maybe blossoms will come up, unfolding
Singing springtime too for me, some day.

Glory to Heroes! It will all be Ukraine!

The Holocaust—the murder of six million Jews—is one of the most well documented crimes in history, made possible by antisemitic conspiracy theories. Invoking those dangerous theories and calling for the mass murder of Jews is an outrage.

I might have had a different migratory journey nonetheless, I am an economic migrant
After they have come for and chased away the international protection applicants,
Will they come for people like me, and barricade our places of employment ?

@Berlinnaeus That would be supportive…

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Crushed, a new song by @Imaginedragons, uses footage and stories from Ukraine.

Please watch, it's really powerful.

Thank you for support! Ukraine is not crushed, and our friends, allies, supporters play a big part in that.

This is an extreme long shot but maybe #IrishTwitter can just do it.

My mam lost her custom made hearing aid in the Glenville/Newtown area of #Waterford or possibly Passage East.

It’s useless to anyone except her. It’s identical to this but the blue part is red. RT plz

@Noah_Halpin Don’t mean to be cheeky but is there a space going where you are moving from?
