Samizdat

Pretty easy to make it through the work week when it is only two days long. 

My first front gladiola is beginning its bloom. I am amazed at how tall they are. 

A great thing about working from home is that you can take some meetings outside. I had virtual lunch and grabbed my ipad and ate on my deck. Even virtually I can show off my garden. Understandably, she was amazed. She got to see my garden from above and then the deck garden too. I even showed off the balloon flowers. We discussed self-care including trauma and heart rate variability. The Apple watch will tell you your heart rate variability. https://9to5mac.com/2022/02/10/use-hrv-with-apple-watch-and-iphone/

Russian law enforcement has detained three top Russian generals on charges of corruption. 

Ukrainian defense officials recently claimed that some Russian factories are refusing to repair equipment broken or damaged during the war. 

The Kopilka Project is an online repository of anti-war poetry from over 100 Russian speakers. 

Zvezda is an independent digital publication. They publish a weekly text edition on their Telegram channel in hopes that people will print it and leave it around for people to pick it up, a little like the movie Alone in Berlin. (This has Emma Thompson in it and if you haven't, seriously, you need to watch Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.) 

Anastasiya Baydachenko raised money for advertisements. She bought ad space on websites in Russia and Belarus to link to independent news on the war. With each passing day this got more difficult so she moved into online gambling and pornography. These sites had little moderation and huge audiences. She took on Putin through porn.
