Russian-born American in Spain. Tango dancer, D&D player, and recovering human rights defender. Chained to the NGO world, because profit margins make me puke. Staving off the void with wine and comedy.

My partner is doing their Executive MBA after years in the NGO sector and the UN. They say that every time a lecturer asks for people to share negative examples, all the private sector-origin students gather around the academia/NGO/IO folks like kids at camp about to hear spine-tingling horror.

For any #jazz fans out there - little plug for my handsome partner singing a lovely rendition My Funny Valentine. (Ignore my terrible videography, had a tech failure halfway through so lost the good take) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwTR...

Pursuing my dream of becoming the next Steve Best and photographing the second Barcelona Fringe Festival. Free comedy, free drinks, and hanging out with these nerds is all I want from life, maybe.

The problem with 'he's building a Death Star' memes is that they are only funny if you forget 14 million people are forecast to die because it cancelled USAID. He doesn't need a death star

If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now?

Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers made jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened.
And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.
Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
