Deck the halls with ... signs of emu?
Christmas cheer was all around this weekend as students noticed a stray emu roaming the abandoned halls of their university in St. Petersburg. The bipedal feathered creature from Australia was reportedly brought in to star in a Christmas special for kids. And this being the age of social media, the emu soon found itself a star of student-made memes.
Here are some of our favorites:
Teacher, I'll take my exam only if you bring in an emu.
The world's unanswered questions: Are there aliens? Will the world end? And what was an emu doing in my school?
Can I please take a math exam?
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
