Flowers on my neighbor’s stairs

All we need money for now is catering and shipping pictures back and I don’t think it too unreasonable to ask photographers or subjects to pay to have their pictures shipped back if they want them. 

If I don’t get a sponsor for catering I can buy cheap cookies. 

It is so weird to share good news like that. I keep waiting for something bad to happen now. 

The UK has sanctioned Russian officials involved in the “elections” in annexed Ukrainian territory. "You can't hold 'elections' in someone else's country.”

Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Kursk region. One of the drones dropped two explosive devices on a substation, causing a transformer to ignite. The fire caused five localities and one hospital to lose electricity.

Kazakhstan has unambiguously stated that it will follow the sanctions regime. Russia has also lost influence with Armenia because it failed to help them in a recent battle with its neighbor.
