1. I hope he is OK

I haven't seen anything lately

6. I know. I have been concerned.

2. I saw a picture of him a week ago, he was sitting in someone's lap in another country

he was visiting. I can't remember where it was but it seems he is travelling and raising money.

5. Thank you.

3. I googled him...

And there's a tweet post from 2 days ago, says something about flying in an F16.

He's out there, one said something about losing his blue check mark.

7. Thank you for asking, I've been wondering too 🐕

8. He's fine. I just haven't been posting from his Twitter feed lately.

Not sure why. Kind of down on twitter, like everyone, I guess.

He has an Instagram account but I haven't had any luck posting from that.

12. So glad that he is fine. Completely understand about muskrat's site! But would

you consider at least posting a line here occasionally on how he is doing so that we don't worry quite so much? Thanks in advance.

13. OK. He also has a TikTok account. Haven't mastered that either.

[niyad]

14. I am not on social media.

9. Fear not....Patron seems to be living his best life and got to meet the

Japanese Ambassador! You'll love the video! The Ambassador is obviously a "dog person". 🙂💕🐶

15. If you want something with regular Ukraine, and Patron, updates, try the Balloon Juice blog

https://balloon-juice.com/

One of the bloggers, Adam Silverman, is ex-military, and still advises a part of the government in some capacity (I think he has taught at a military college). He gives a round-up of Ukraine every day (he looked into signing up to go there, but he's too old), and always ends with Patron, or anything close (like cats and dogs with Ukrainian fighters). Yesterday's post from him: https://balloon-juice.com/2023/04/28/war-for-ukraine-day-429-stopping-these-war-crimes-is-why-ukraine-needs-more-advanced-fighters/

It's a good liberal (and pet-lover) blog for all kinds of things as well.
