A man wearing a vyshyvanka and a pink bucket hat blasting Stefania while driving in Lviv with car windows down. I love this country.
It was so great to see **YOU**, @NigoraFazliddin !!
I finally met my #friend, @leoraeisenberg, in person in #Dushanbe, #Tajikistan. Leora, one of the sharpest people I know, is pursuing a doctorate in #CentralAsian #USSR history at #Harvard #University. It’s nice surrounding yourself with such driven and accomplished friends!

У кліпі на "Стефанію" більше фемінізму, ніж в усіх wannabe-феміністичних текстах, що я прочитала за останні роки два чи три
Defenders of Mariupol are heroes, they gave everything they had, and much, much more. Any agreement that saves their lives is 100% worth taking.
