I thought i would keep all the posts about Ukraine and russian agression here on my main blog, but there were just SO many, i decided to split it into another blog @ukrocorvid. I`m still gonna reblog a lot of stuff here on my main/art account @artcorvid, since i feel like my art is NOT apolitical and I always knew i would also use my art account to also talk about the situation in Ukraine and ongoing political events. But there was just so much information i wanted to share, i decided to post most of it to the other blog, and only repost the most important stuff here, to not drown everything else out and keep it easier to look find stuff 🐦‍⬛🌒✨ ================================================

Shitting on Russians is as good a reason as any. Truth is, there really are a shit TONN of bots, and there are straight up troll farms in russia (but I feel ai might take like half their jobs in the future, if not already. Poor fucks).

So this theory comes way less from "this specific post/thing/conspiracy comes from bots"

and way more from "if I was a russian troll, I would 100% be do this" and "if Russian bots are spamming shit everywhere all at once, they probably are spamming conspiracy theories cus GOSH is it a fertile ground for запудрити ватнікам і бумерам мізки"

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:

Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".

I genuinely,

in my heart of hearts,

believe,

that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:

"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"

And the other said:

"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"

And the first said:

"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"

That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.

@kithpendragon and now we just wait before he "finds evidence" of Greenland or Canada "oppressing American citizens on their land because of rizing anti-american sentiment or america-phobia" or sum shit. And they are gonna be "left with no other choice" than to "protect those Americans outside of America".

Bonus points if those enemies start "bombing themselves for 8 years" and there is a suspicious "separatist movement" that doesn't get weapons from anyone, cus that's just "their own weapons and uniforms, u know"

Russian "metodichka" accepted as second skin

Yeah this isn't...the good answer he thinks it is.

He wants Greenland for the mineral rights under the melting ice. Because this country is entirely run by greedy bastards like we are some Dr. Seussian villain or something. Like Yertle the Turtle may the leaders of America be humbled and sundered.

Every time I hear about Trump "Making America Great Again", all I can think about is that quote about Putin "Lifting Russia from it's knees" where the joke goes:

~"Putin lifted Russia up from it's knees... just to put it on all fours"

Same vibe honestly. Cus I feel like Trump is doing something artistically similar with America, or at least taking inspiration.

"This recommendation appears quite simple and obvious, but try to avoid using words like 'everyone', 'no one', 'always', or 'never' in your conclusions."

"Why? Everyone has always done it, and no one has ever complained."

Another artwork I made in college and never got to post. Was relevant then about russians... Became relevant for americans now too... a shame Feel free if you wanna copy or share. I don`t care for credit since I count this as some good old political anti-imperialist caricature/propaganda. Though the ones who it portrays, will not be the ones who ever recongnize their reflection.

Pro tip:

Number all your sketchbooks like they are Gravity Falls journals, so that when you are famous and dead, people will get obsessed with finding them all.

Bonus points if you skip one number to just fuck with the historians and make their life harder... and so that people keep hunting for that one nonexistent mythical sketchbook.

But seriously, why do we get grown people who believe in the WILDEST conspiracy theories about world control (From Antivaxxers, to Flat Earthers, to microships to evil electromagnetic waves the damn Atlantis and Reptiloids), but the ONE TIME we actually get some dystopian type shit for mass propaganda and controll... they just dont do anything. Like i swear (again), you`d think this would be such a FERTILE ground for the conspiracy fanatics to throw a fit and mass hysteria and DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE. But nope... they are in fact the ones believing those ai videos and pictures like they are real and reposting them as proof of giants and aliens. If someone started spreading some bullshit like: "The devil is infultrating childrens minds through ai and its evil secret hidden messages boOooOo to put evil spirits in their pineal gland and close their third eye" i would pray for their health honestly... ...Not because i`d think they are insane or anything (they probably are though), but because i`d hope they keep doing whatever they are doing lol...

Sadly yes. Also russians killing endangered animals in nature reserves and posing with their "hunting trophies"... I wish i was making it up... Anywhere an agressive imperialist barbarian goes... he doesn`t respect humans, so why should he respect nature?

‘We’ve lost some parts of nature for ever’: Ukraine war’s impact on environment – photo essay

As well as intense human suffering, three years of war have had a catastrophic environmental effect, killing wildlife, felling trees and inc

As well as intense human suffering, Russia’s attack has had a catastrophic effect on the environment. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), more than 3m hectares of forest have been affected, including 1m hectares in protected areas. Russian troops have dug trenches, felled trees and planted countless mines. Fires caused by shells have increased CO2 emissions. Giant clouds of smoke can be seen billowing next to a 600-mile-long frontline.

Some of this destruction is accidental. But there have also been extraordinary acts of large-scale Russian sabotage. In June 2023 the Russian military blew up the Kakhovka reservoir to thwart a Ukrainian counter-offensive. The explosion released more than 14 cubic kilometres (14tn litres) of water, flooded dozens of settlements downstream and killed at least 35 people. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said it was a “deliberate and calculated crime”.

The flood killed animals and swept away a fish farm that was trying to restore endangered sturgeon to the Dnipro River. Unique species were lost. In August 2024 there was another ecological disaster when suspected Russian soldiers dumped chemicals from the Russian border village of Tyotkino into the Seym River. The pollution crossed the international border nearby and made its way into Ukraine’s north-eastern Sumy region. The Seym’s ecosystem crashed.

Ukrainians agree that the damage caused by Russia to the environment cannot be easily fixed. Dr Bohdan Vykhor, the executive director of WWF Ukraine, said: “We have lost some parts of nature for ever. It’s impossible to return. It’s objective reality, unfortunately.” Vykhor said it would take many decades and “tremendous effort” to de-mine Ukraine, one of the most densely mined countries in the world. “Until fighting stops, we can’t begin. It’s dangerous,” he said.

The war has destroyed many important habitats for wildlife. Several rare species have suffered, including the red-listed marbled polecat. The Kakhovka flood washed away its breeding areas, Vykhor said, adding: “We can’t say if these creatures still exist in Ukraine.” Meanwhile, Russian soldiers have built military camps on coastal reserves and crucial wetlands used by birds along the Black Sea. The elusive black stork has changed its spring migration route, Vykhor said.

"Portal" - colledge work from 202.. idk what year

Yeah, I can now see why he didn`t like it. Think i can do it better if i ever remake it for a portfolio

I mostly post my drawings here but i really wanted to share this Honey Jar label i made for a college assignment a few years back. My teacher didnt really like it for some reason but im actually very happy with how it turned out + i really love all the bees and bumblebees so this was a blast to make ^^

I dont know how often i will be able to post but i`ll try to stay active

Anywho, i think i will refresh my blog a bit. Repost some older art while getting some new. Idk if thats something that people on tumblr do, but some perfectionist dragon part of my brain tells me that all art must be selected and gathered into a curated horde so its in one place in my cave (blog), no way to keep it so unorganized. Looks nicer in one pile. I mean it`s not like it will stay that way as i keep posting. But do you organize you cave to keep it in that perfect state or to LIVE?

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" unless it's head trauma. It that case it just makes you dumber"

I actually made Trump and JD vance versions lol

Why would a country that was just attacked 3 years ago (11 actually), be the one to give up having any military defence?🤔 Why SHOULD a country that was just attacked by an agressor (that is still in power), be the one to give up any military defence? To not be a threat? To not be a threat to who? An agressor? An abuser? An opressor? God forbid you have any ability to fight back or pose any threat to the attacker.

sO putin agreed to possible ceasfire... but the rules are that Ukraine can't: - do moblization - do training - receive weapons during that ceasfire... 🤔 Huh... So its "We are at peace... but you have to be in a MAX vulnerable and unpreperred position in case i (defintely dont) attack you again" "We are at peace... but i don`t trust you to have any ability or resource to defend yourself... It`s a danger to me (In a case where i attack you)"

"I will stop hitting you... but you have to put down the pepper spray, you cant hold it in your hand... and you cant keep keys in your pocket either. No you cant go to self defence or the gym. No you cant get stuff from your friends either, why would you need to... In fact you cant own a pepper sparay at all, you wouldn`t need it"

International Writers' Day hits different when you're from Ukraine

Just a few stories of Ukrainian writers killed by russia in 2024/25. There are more of them. Keeping their memory alive is the least we can do

* Nedopysani is a memorial project to honor those Ukrainian people of literature who were killed by Russia. Our goal is not merely to make a list—we want to celebrate lives of the fallen ones, read their poems and novels, carry on their legacy.

We are the echoes of their voices

LET ME EMPHASIZE AGAIN: THE US GOT PAID 30 YEARS AGO TO DEFEND UKRAINE

Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal 30 years ago in exchange for promises of protection.

Ukrainian song "Avtozak", released in 2021, was created in support of the Belarusian protesters during the mass protests that were ongoing at the time.

From a Punk-Rock group "Жадан і Собаки" (Zhadan and Dogs)

English translation for your enjoyment:

Re-sewn camo and a pair of unkillable military boots I have my afflatus and an old baseball bat I have my last 100 bucks, saved up Anyone have questions? *Choir answers* I have questions!!! Who rewrites laws and rules behind my back? I`m fucked all the time by the taxes payed by me Who are these weird passengers, building pedestals here? I would have stayed silent, but i`m sort-of fed up. Checked the pockets, ransacked the backpack! Progressive youth, has set the police vagon on fire! Because nothing is gonna fix itself in here Now we are gonna find out who the street belongs to! If you try really hard, you can piss off even saints Right now the Active with join in and the debate will start Right now on to the picket, will come the electorate from the gym Because the reform of courts is flares and fireworks Relay to the minister: someone has already brought the canister Activists have already chucked the flammable liquid Good Evening, Gentelmen, the flags are unreveling "Why The Fuck do i need a system that works against me?" Checked the pockets, ransacked the backpack! Progressive youth, has set the police vagon on fire! Because nothing is gonna fix itself in here. Now we are gonna find out who the street belongs to!

Can`t believe i finally got back on my ADHD meds, to be able to participate in society actively...only for it to go to shit... more than it was. Just in time. I can watch political turmoil with a good attention span and an ability to concentrate

Guess we are going for Malfrid! 🌱 (Unless anything changes in the 3 hours left as i`m writing this lol) Wojtek, Mykyta, Pilsudski and Lukash were strong contendors though. If anyone wants i can make another poll, with a rematch for thetop 4 names, to choose the ULTIMATE WINNER... If not and everyone is satisfied we will just stop at Malfrid:)

So the most likely things to happen would be: either - russia uses the quiet time to regroup and gather resources and attacks again (Soon or later when people get a bit more relaxed). or - Ukraine is never able to properly start a ceasfire, because russia keeps shooting. And you can't really stop shooting if russia just keeps doing it, cus you will immediately lose. So if the rules are "If russia violates the agreement, then we will help" then any excuse to say its Ukraine who violated it and it doesn`t count will be used. Yay, Minsk-two-electric-boogaloo-BUT-WORSE

Also friendly reminder that there's no such thing as peace negotiation with russia. It doesn't exist and we learned it by experiencing it via bombs and missiles. Signing peace deal with russia right now means giving them time to build and buy more weapons, and draft bigger army for them to attack again in the future. It's not a peace deal, it's a break for russia to do even more damage. You're literally giving terrorists time off for them to gather more resources.
