Some of the podcasts I listen to include discussions on Ukraine, including some with Ukrainian people talking about Ukraine. I posted this a number of days ago on one podcast comment section, but it probably got lost between all the other comments so I decided to post it here.

What is up with the surge of nsfw accounts and adult content creators suddenly following me the last couple days? Any suggestions on how to prevent this? Thanks!

On the left side is a small picture of the cover of a book the book has a picture of a woman in a red flowing dress. The woman has a hand reaching up to some unseen object as she walks through a forest path..the text on the book reads Witches Brew. There appears to be more text on the cover however this picture is a thumbnail size and the text is completely pixelated and unreadable even with a large zoom magnification. Trying to remember, I think the text was a list of some of the short stories and authors of those stories included in this book. Next to the cover of the book is the text that reads Witches’ Brew by Yvonne Jocks (Editor) Rate this book (currently unrated) Read from 04/26/2017 - 11/29/2017.

This is a picture of the cover of a Little Golden Book called The Musicians of Bremen. There are four animals walking together on a dirt road. Clockwise from the top is a brown donkey, a brown rooster with green tail feathers, a very skinny light orange tabby cat and a skinny brown dog with darker fur on its back and lighter fur on its belly and legs. The four animals are walking down a dirt road in the countryside with a pale brown fence and yellow sunflowers and green hills in the distance.

The cover of this book has a dim outline of the milky way behind a smiling green ball with no eyes. It is holding its hat, sticking its tongue out and holding a worn brown suitcase with a triangle of a towel poking out. The top of the cover reads Five Novels in one Volume. Just below that reads the author’s name, Douglas Adams. Below the green circle, at the bottom of the cover reads The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I wonder if #CanadianSky or #BookSky could help me out. I’m looking for a name of a book that was about famous influential people. I think there was a couple well known figures from #Canada. It written late 80’s for 8-12 years reading group. I’m hoping to include it in my book challenge. Tnx!

The book cover has a pale green border with the title of the book which is The Portal Prophecies. Within the borders is a picture with a small black cat in the bottom of the picture sitting up on top of a thick old brown hard cover book. The cat is facing forward. Behind the cat is a large rectangle with silver corners. The rectangle is a light yellow green. There are what looks like two crescent shapes behind the cat’s head. Directly behind the cat’s head is a light purple spot that surrounds the cat’s head like a glowing halo. Behind the rectangle, a brown tree with green leaves is standing on a hill of green grass, the tree is towering over the top of the green rectangle. On the very bottom is the author’s name C. A. King There is a white bar on the very bottom of the photo that reads The Portal Prophecies Volume I, One. By C. A. King

Just sharing two pictures of my sweet cats from when they were eleven weeks ago. They chose their favourite nap spots quite early! Windi loves her bed and blanket spot and Willow still sleeps on my soft pillow.

A light sandy coloured torbie, that is a tabby with black/brown and white and orange colourings, kitten approximately eleven weeks old is relaxing on a soft pink blanket with a pattern of cats. Laying on her side, her face is towards the camera and her eyes appear half open. her paws are slightly large in comparison to her body. Willow, an approximately eleven week old torbie, tabby and tortie kitten, is demonstrating the loaf stance. She is on a soft white pillow. She is facing left and her eyes are closed. Behind Willow is a cluttered computer desk with an iMac, a 1.5 litre water bottle with red juice, a smaller empty water bottle, a small green pill bottle and a bottle of moisturizer cream.

I have serious concerns about whether I could survive 4 years of Poilievre. I KNOW people who won’t survive him.

The policies he wants to eliminate are necessary for disabled, low income and marginalized people to survive.

Which is exactly WHY they’re being targeted.

Canada under Pierre Poilievre:

-Retirement security gone.
-CBC gone.
-Environmental protections gone.
-Rebates gone.
-Universal healthcare gone.
-Dental care gone.
-Sensible gun laws gone.
-Affordable childcare gone.
-Proven and experienced leadership gone.

This picture is of a book cover. The top has the title Zlata’s Diary: A Child’s Life In Wartime Sarajevo. In the background is the author, a young lady with short dark hair. She is looking at the camera. She is wearing an oversized black t shirt and a long purple skirt. In the foreground is a very foreboding barbed wire fence that is often seen surrounding jails. On the bottom of the image is the author’s name, Zlata Filipović

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Two brow torbies are lounging together on their human’s bed. Both adult cats are facing the camera. The cat in the back has her tongue out just a tiny little bit in what is known as a tongue blep. There is an inside out white sweater on the upper left corner of the picture.

An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”
