I am going to keep my twitter account active for copies of stuff I share. However, I am not going to track anyone here. I am experimenting with Threads (threads.net/savasp), Bluesky (savasp.bsky.social) and Mastodon (mastodon.social/@savasp).

Love is love! People can express their love in any way they want! Step in the right direction for Greece. Still a long road (around the world) until all inequalities are eliminated and the church (of any religion) is decoupled from political decisions. bbc.com/news/world-europe-68…
