If I post a picture of a doll I've made, the one where the doll stares at you, is that eye-contact and should be marked as sensitive content?

This is my interpretation of Veļu Māte - the Mother of the Dead from Latvian mythology. One of the most feared deities because nobody comes back from her realm. She mostly visits in the shape of an old woman.

Left: #Russian lawyer #Mikhail_Barshchevsky:

"#Latvian media is brainwashing the people, '#Russia is going to attack us.' Do we need another impoverished region? We don't have the money to keep you. Of course, we can conquer you, but we don't have the money to keep you.

Where is your economy? What do you have? What's there to take? Sprats?"

Right: #Russian cities, #Barshchevsky discusses "impoverished" #Latvia.

❗#Norway police has detained a #Norwegian-owned ship with a #Russian crew, suspected of its involvement in cable sabotage. This was done due to a court request from #Latvian authorities - #Dagbladet

The #Silver_Dania ship, sailing between #St_Petersburg and #Murmansk, is suspected to have caused damage to the fibre cable in the #Baltic_Sea between #Latvia and #Sweden

The shipowner denied accusations. The crew and the shipping company are cooperating with #Norwegian authorities.

More information about the cable damage in the #Baltic_Sea:

◾#Latvian Defence Forces reported identifying a vessel that could potentially be responsible for the damage. #Latvian Navy sent out a patrol vessel to inspect the ship.

◾#Latvian Navy Commander: The bulk carrier #Michalis_San was headed for #Russia and was waiting tor clearance from its agent to continue its route. No suspicious activity or damage to the anchor was detected on the vessel.
