#Ukraine gets rid of Soviet symbols on #Motherland #monument in #Kyiv. Workers installed Ukraine's national trident on an iconic monument depicting the Motherland in Kyiv on Sunday, replacing old Soviet symbols in one of the most visible examples of breaking away from the past and Moscow's influence. The monument, a 62-metre-tall (200-foot) steel statue of a female warrior, was built in 1981 on top of a hill on the right bank of the Dnipro River. #war reuters.com/world/europe/ukrai

She was there every time I visited. I couldn't avoid seeing her. I would tell the locals about how ugly this gal was, how even glimpsing her triggered an atavistic rage in me, and how she needed to go. Yet she stayed exactly where she was.

They left South Korea for the American Dream. Now their children are moving back | CNN

It might seem an odd desire given many have never set foot in South Korea. But the lure of acceptance and belonging in an ancestral homeland is strong, particularly when set against the racism, gun violence, and anti-Asian hate crimes rampant in the US.

Hope everyone is having a great day today. I was inspired by a concert last night, so I started looking for a female African vocalist that was very well known. So...for you today is Miriam Makeba. I chose this version of Qongqothwane, the Click song, because she is speaking in French at the beginning. All you people studying French with Duolingo...here's a fun exercise for today. youtu.be/vhgb60Qsjrs

Russian propagandists on state TV say life is overrated.

Russian propagandists aim to convince the viewers that "the Russian propagandists on state TV say life is overrated#Soviet miracle" & the expansionist glory of the #Motherland are more important than life, which is "overrated." They want new maps—or rather "a globe of #Russia," because its #borders end...nowhere.

Felt pretty down today. Basically been feeling ill every day since beginning Christmas break, and I assume that I'll start feeling well the day before returning to work. Haven't felt like drawing, writing or playing music - all the things I'd been dreaming of doing the moment I got some leave.

But thank God for the #Ghosts and #Motherland Christmas specials, biscuits, cheese, cheap sherry and figuring out the right place for Powerline adaptors.
