This is the threat we're experiencing from a Russia who the US would have us believe seeks peace. State sponsored cyber terrorism targetting key infrastructure is quite literally an act of war.

We're under regular attack by Russia. Our infrastructure, our cyber security, our democracy, are all regularly threatened by Russia. That does not end with Ukraine. Emboldened by a win, how can we begin to believe Russia would not ramp this up?

@lbc.co.uk even without thinking on Ukraine's inalienable right to sovereignty, without Ukraine we lose a massive buffer. I don't believe we can have any confidence that Putin would be contented with his lot and stop his assault on Europe even if he did manage to annex Ukraine.

I know Putin's position - peacekeepers are to be considered an act of war. Installing peacekeepers inherently puts those service men and women at risk. I don't take that lightly. But it's arguably better we do it before Ukraine's borders erode any further.

With respect to Starmer considering installing peacekeepers in Ukraine, I do think this is the current most pragmatic move. Peacekeepers are a time-tested deterrent, and it gives us the opportunity to set up a frontier along our most vulnerable European borders.

Organisations have to put real man hours and resources into these inquiries, so I'm not on board with the idea of conducting them needlessly. So far as I see it that just produces further backlogs in the system which effectively prohibit survivors seeking justice.

I don't know why it squashed her like that, sorry

These are insane - I'm honestly struggling to convince my brain they're foam. Gorgeous work

There's so much truth in this. I find that I spend a lot of time worrying about what people would like to see and this can be so prohibitive to creating projects I actually want to finish. I've been trying to focus more recently on just creating things I like and I'm falling in love with craft again

This weekend I found Cult of the Lamb: Hymns of the Unholy and I was utterly blown away by how gorgeously it worked - I would LOVE to see similar tribute albums for games like Hollow Knight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx2b...

And the lil mushroom boy was created using this lovely pattern from The Friendly Red Fox: www.thefriendlyredfox.com/free-crochet...

Okay so I'm not 100% on this being the bee pattern, but it's close enough (it's just a case of crafting a pill shape with chunky yarn and joining with a slip stitch in every round for smooth colour changes): www.amigurumi.com/Other-Animal...
