@MurielBlaivePhD Probably the first late Gen Alpha global cultural reference. Love the six-seeevn

@geogvma Rings very true. While in fact my experience is that Ukrainians remain the most composed and sarcastic about all of this senseless horror. Nothing like a Western European whining under some fluffy blanket.

A Russian drone is still outside my window. And air-defense machine guns are working a hundred yards away.

This night Russia attacked Kyiv again.

For the first time, our university KSE, was hit.

One staff member was injured. No one in our community was killed, thank God. 1/

@geogvma My solution has been twofold and works alright for myself and most students: a) strictly applied assignments wherever possible, like Factsheets etc. based on unique, individual research, b) personalized documentation of individual learning process (Learning Journal).

It’s so bizarre and disorienting to be living in a world where so many around you are going about their days, following the same routines that they always have, while you are entirely preoccupied with the question: is my family still alive?

The amount of gloating I see on social media about Dubai being targeted by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones is frankly disgusting.
People, it’s not just influencers and crypto bros in Dubai. Have some respect.
It’s a huge city with a diverse population from literally all over the world, including Iran. Families with children shrieking in fear have to seek shelter at night.

After all these barrages, Dubai has remained resilient. It’s a real place. It will get through this.
