Just did an online personality test to see what career I would best be suited to. Apparently I’m a 99% match for “real estate agent”

A newly discovered stink bug species has been found in Western Australia during a two-week expedition near Kepa Kurl/Esperance. This bug exhibits remarkable features such as curved horns and bright yellow tusks, which serve as camouflage on its host plant. buff.ly/3NwYqVg

❗️ We were attacked by Kremlin bots About 10 thousand Kremlin bots have subscribed to our account in the last 24 hours. Soon they will start mass unsubscribing so that Twitter algorithms will not promote our posts and account. We have seen similar attacks on the accounts of other independent media and Influencers from many countries. There is only one purpose of the attack: to suppress the truth. Now we need your help in the information war against Putin's bot farms. Help us spread our posts and the posts of other independent media through likes, reposts and comments. Thanks to everyone for the help!
