Measured over 7 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 23, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 45 interactions against 267K followers, an engagement rate of 0.017%. Posts are seen about 7.9K times each, and 0.572% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.94% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 14% carry an image or video and 71% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.3K interactions, about 156x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #unga, #unga81. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 14% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 71% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 14% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 71% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 254 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

I recorded this video in southeastern Ukraine, in a village once occupied by Russian forces. Half the people in this village have fled. Some to other parts of Ukraine. Others to Slovakia, Poland, and further afield. Alongside the visible destruction of schools, churches and homes are the deep but less visible wounds of more than four years of conflict. I spoke with a group of fourteen women — IRC clients taking part in a mental health program. One told me: "When I'm here together with you and with these other women, I can forget that a war is going on around me." That line stuck with me, a woman asking for just a moment of peace. Ukraine is one part of a much larger picture. 118 million people are forcibly displaced by conflict and disaster worldwide — from Sudan, from Afghanistan, from Syria, from Venezuela, and beyond. On #WorldRefugeeDay, the numbers matter. But so does the human story behind each one. Watch below.

Today, 22 million people in Afghanistan are in humanitarian need. Yet while the crisis deepens, aid cuts have slashed resources and it's only getting harder to deliver aid to the Afghan people. I joined @morning_joe to discuss: https://t.co/o5XaKEwQFZ

Children born in conflict have their childhood stolen from them. But give them a bit of it back, and they make the most of it. Today, the IRC and the LEGO Foundation are committing $97 million over five years to do exactly that — bringing play-based early learning to 5 million children across East Africa and the Middle East.

When I spent World Refugee Day with International Rescue Committee staff and clients in southeast Ukraine, I saw clearly how four years of war takes its toll. I met a man who had rebuilt his home after a bombing — only for it to be destroyed again. He is now moving west, looking for safety. Ukraine is one of many countries where IRC staff and clients are living this reality. There are families in Lebanon who fear they can never return home. Crises continue in Sudan, Afghanistan, and beyond. The world is seeing more shocks, with fewer shock absorbers to help people survive. More in my interview with CNN:

I don't think anyone could look at drought in Afghanistan or flooding in Somalia, and say climate change is a hoax. Yet this year there has been much more coverage of the need for air conditioning in Europe than of any of these crises — this needs to change. Today, I spoke on this and more at @Independent's #Climate100 event: https://t.co/vlTALwVAkD
