Done🫡

Ukraine is going back to blackouts today, just like we did in fall and winter of 2022-2023, due to russians attacks on our energy infrastructure. We appreciate our energy workers so much, this is what they're dealing with.

"Нам не знати, коли закінчиться ця війна. Однак я знаю, що робитиму у день перемоги.

Я вийду на широку дорогу, яка пролягає між полями. Високе небо. Дивовижний краєвид переді мною. Мине ще тиждень-два - і зміниться сезон, ховаючи шрами війни.

Моє тіло калататиме. Холодний вітер битиме в обличчя. Десь у грудях зароджуватиметься гарчання, хрипіння, що переростатиме в крик.

Внутрішня пружина, що лишалася зажатою весь цей час, вистрілить.

Не знаю, скільки це триватиме. Мить, десятки хвилин. Не знаю, скільки в мені буде крику за всіма полеглими, закатованими, вбитими, викраденими, знищеними, зґвалтованими, покаліченими, зруйнованими, зниклими безвісти, непохованими.

Я кричатиму болем. Кричатиму до болю. І з кожною миттю я вичавлюватиму з себе той уламок снаряда, що застряг у стіні в домі моїх батьків.

Бо він не може визначати все"

This young artist did the same things i do - create art, share it with the world

But still russia decided that it's okay to kill people. And still westerns on the internet tolerate russians and their art, because "it's just art" or "what can they do about their government?"

Actually, they can do a lot. But what can a person do when a missile strikes exactly at them?

I hate hypocrisy of western world. Genocide is genocide and the only thing you CAN DO is support the victims - trust the victims!!!!!

So try to listen once in your goddamn life to people who really saw what russia did. To people who see it every day. Listen, learn AND BAN RUSSIA and their art

It is heartbreaking what just happened in Venezuela with the elections, especially with having to read people's opinions who obviously have never actually listened to Venezuelans or Venezuelans who are not connected to the government.

There were Venezuelans coming back after escaping the country just to vote, people getting rid of their fear to vote, my great-grandmother who needs aid to move went out to vote, all my family back home voted, and people all across the country went out to vote.

Some were not allowed, the military kept them out, and the military closed some voting boots, the law in Venezuela dictates that boots that still have people waiting to vote must wait for all to vote and then close, the law dictates that people are allowed to be on the room while the votes are being counted. None of that happened, boots with nobody waited to close past hour while boots with people were being closed, and people were not allowed in the room even though they were asking and demanding their right to be there.

People are protesting and risking their lives both yesterday and today, because the elections were rigged, and everyone in Venezuela is tired from their bullshit.

Please, please, please, don't say that the Venezuelan people chose Maduro, don't support whatever they say, even if they said they support Palestine, do you really want the support of someone who has destroyed their own country? ignore the needs and wants of their people? force people out of the country because there is no electricity, food, or medicine? I don't care where you fall on the political spectrum, THIS IS WRONG.

As a Venezuelan, I am crying and heartbreak for what just happened.

Today, May 18, marks the 80th anniversary of the forced removal of the Crimean Tatars from their native Crimea by the Soviet authorities. This deportation is called Sürgünlik.

Now, in occupied by russia Crimea, the Crimean Tatars are once again suffering from repression. Their homes are being searched, they are being arrested, their culture is being destroyed. Ukraine is doing everything possible to defeat this evil. Because this evil must be defeated. Free nations must be free.

We already see it how the nation of heroes is being demonized by propaganda as more and more people are falling for it. It hurts in a way that we, Ukrainians, can't even explain.

Life goes on for the world, but for Ukrainians, it never will be the same

Farewell to Taras Onyskiv. Azov. The son of a Hero is presented with the flag of Ukraine, the country for which his father died. Glory to Heroes🇺🇦

There is nothing fair about war. We have to remind ourselves of this too often, especially when young people die.

As today, when a medic who started his career in the ranks of the Hospitallers, 21-year-old Oleksandr Kucheriavenko, call sign "Kuzma", died while performing a mission.

Died saving others. According to the battalion's press service, Kucheryavenko had recently mobilized to the Defense Forces.

"A man with an incredibly keen sense of justice. A professional who has worked at all levels of pre-hospital care. An idealist who was always where he had to be. A hospitalist to whom more than one Ukrainian soldier owes his life. A man his mother and bride were proud of and loved. A comrade-in-arms whom we miss.

He lived, loved, and fought. He died saving the lives of others. We will never be able to comprehend this incredible loss for Ukraine, the Battalion, his fellow L20 crewmates, and family," - this is how Oleksandr's brothers and sisters-in-arms, who together evacuated wounded soldiers in 2023 and 2024 as part of the L20 Hospitaller crew, remember him. "Young, hot-tempered, he was one of those who found his calling early on. And he followed it to the end, despite fatigue, pain, and loss," emphasized Yana Zinkevych.

Oleksandr Kucheryavenko died on May 14, 2024, while providing aid to the wounded.

"The Hospitallers urge to support his family, who will have a hard time without their son and loved one.

I'll show you handsome Mykola, now I can. He's in Sweden on a psychological rehabilitation program for combat medics.

I opened a bank account (in my mother's monobank) for those who want to help our family.

The worst thing is that my mother is crying now and saying, "We asked you to stay, but we couldn't save one of them, even if you had." And, of course, she is right. Mykola had the right to demobilize after Pasha's death, but he didn't want to.

These losses cannot be accepted. It is indeed a black spring for Ukraine. Don't be indifferent. Make Russia pay. Please hear our cry out to the world, keep spreading our voices, and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org, and u24.gov.ua).

не бачила, щоб на тамблері писали за цю ситуацію, тож поширюю тут

thatgamecompany (компанія, якій належать ігри sky cotl і journey) нещодавно на етері висловили щодо російського вторгення меседж "обидві сторони бачать одна одну як жертву [ війни ], підтримують одна одну і досі залишаються на зв'язку"

дуже потрібно поширити в твіттері, щоб цей кейс не пройшов мимо, і щоб донести компанії, що ширити наративи про дружбу з агресором це не нормально

особливо з врахуванням того, що вони буквально вкинули цей меседж через тиждень після рос атаки на Охматдит. тупо щоб показати на етері, що їх гра така вже 'пречудова' і 'прекрасна', що, бачте, виявляється навіть єднає агресорів і їх жертв (тільки думки укр ком'юніті гри щодо цього вони щось не питали)

Babyn Yar, 82 years past.

Last year, I walked there a lot - and couldn't help but cry, every time. You always knew the Holocaust happened, and what it happened to Ukraine as well, but there, in the memorial park, you see the photos, read the text describing it, you see these ravines, you walk along the graves/monuments of the Jewish cemetery, you listen to the prayers and memorial songs... Can you not cry?

And then there's the rocket attack on Babyn Yar last year. And there's the occupation, execution of civilians, mobile crematoriums. The theater, inscription "KIDS". "Filtration camps". Deportation of children. Blowing up the prisoners' barrack. The damn. The market. The train station... No, I couldn't.

82 years later, and the only thing that changed is the language of the invaders.

Protests in Georgia (Sakartvelo) against Russian-style "Foreign Agents Law". International media doesn't pay enough attention to these brave people.
