Ukrainians on occupied territories are about to be deported from their homes if they don't obtain russian passport. This is genocide.
❗In the evening of February 18, the Russians launched a massive attack on Odesa. As a result of the attack, a large part of the city was left without electricity, water and heat supply, and social infrastructure facilities, including a polyclinic and a kindergarten, were damaged. Four people were injured.
According to the mayor, 14 schools, 13 kindergartens and a large residential area - more than 500 houses - remained without electricity and heating.

The creatures look at you with empty undead eyes, while mocking a carved pumpkin in a witch's hat closed behind a prohibition sign. Their side-eye looks menacing. Maybe it's you who will be prohibited next. The text at the bottom reads: "We are Christians. We are Ukrainians. Therefore, no Halloween celebration." /End ID]
I mean, why wouldn't russia bomb Chornobyl NPP, after the literal ABSENCE of any reaction from the rest of the world to it destroying the Kakhovka Dam? They know there will be no reaction now, as well. They know the rest of the world is totally fine with it doing literally ANYTHING.
Why wouldn't russia escalate its violence?
This world is literally not worth the effort that it takes to live in it.
This picture would have been of the Taras Shevchenko monument in Kharkiv. Many objects of historical/cultural significance all over Ukraine are covered by tarps in an attempt to preserve them amidst russia’s constant waves of attacks.
This is what Ukrainians have to do to protect their heritage from erasure by russia. As of today, February 13th,2025, russia has damaged/destroyed 1333 cultural heritage sites and 2185 cultural infrastructure facilities in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion (According to Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine).
sometimes i think about how i’ve effectively dug myself a grave with this blog. half my internet presence is about being queer and ukrainian, famously two things russia hates the most.
if trump proceeds with the “peaceful negotiations” that happen without ukraine even present, if he pushes to implement another leader in ukraine (meaning, of course, a pro-russian puppet) and makes my country a quote unquote neutral territory, it obviously means occupation. when there are bombs over my head, i’m at least an abstract target, i can rely on luck not to get hit. if russians come to power tho? i’m toast.
i wish i was exaggerating, but this is already happening to people in occupied parts of the country. those who had social media posts in ukrainian, about queer rights, etc. are being seeked out and threatened. my acquaintance was once on call with her friend on crimea, who had weird noises in the background. when questioned, she casually said that they were coming from russian police beating her neighbour for listening to ukrainian music.
i constantly hear from people who miraculously left the occupied territories how they had to delete everything from their phones, because russian soldiers would do random phone searches — both just on the street or when a person tries to leave the occupied city. it’s not uncommon that people get shot over it.
everything about “peaceful negotiations” and “compromises”, trading “land for a peace agreement” promises me a death sentence
Thanks for the inspiration! And his hair was a big pain..
messmer closeups (meow?)
i love how his snakes always seem to be paying close attention to him with one of their eyes. definitely believe they are implied to help be his eyes just from seeing how they interact close up. the lower one specifically seems to always looking near his feet to help him avoid tripping on shtuff
Thanks for everything you do!
