Hi- some housekeeping about being Ukrainian on Twitter. 🧵

2 weeks ago, my main account was suspended permanently because I commented angrily to a man calling for the “d*ath of Ukrainian women for the woke media”. Fake allies have been after me for a while and they reported. 🙃 I’m sure they were happy about the fact that I lost a platform of 12.3K followers that took me 11 years to build. They didn’t like me, they didn’t like me being unfiltered, so they wanted to shut me up. Ah well.
