Sierra's radio show about minimalism is not her most successful university project, but it does attract quite a number of people, including Luke. Why him, though?

‼️In Dnipro, five people were killed and 29 injured as a result of a Russian ballistic missile attack on an enterprise, — Regional Military Administration.

Ukrainian strikes on russian oil refinery infrastructure did the thing we were trying to do back in 2022. Make russians regret their nation started the invasion of Ukraine. I still remember how we were sharing posts about "hey guys be brave please go out and tell your government it's not okay to kill people" and they laughed at us and played victims ("b-b-but we will be punished!!! We're poor small people who do nothing!!!"). Now they are still playing victims because Oh No There Is No Petrol In moskwa but at least they hate on their government while their government is digging a hole to bury them all. War is getting back to the people who started and continued it.

It's funny how russian need their goods to be taken away just for a realisation that killing people is in fact bad as fuck. It shows what they value the most. Their own comfort and safety. Not the lives of someone who they proclaimed lesser beings itself.

I've seen some posts trying to make fun of former gifted kids by comparing them to former student athletes who insist that they could have gone pro if not for a specific injury, and those posts always backfire, because my reaction to them is "You're right, we should treat former student athletes with more compassion than we currently do"

I went from being very physically active to getting the "your body doesn't make energy properly anymore" disability so I can completely understand the grief that comes with circumstances outside your control destroying parts of you you were once proud of and locking you out of the life you could have had. It's not a good feeling.

[5soswfttwtaf]

no fr im both the former gifted kid and the almost professional dancer and i barely speak about this but it's been 10 years and not a day goes by that i don't feel like a complete failure for wasting both "talents" and becoming just whatever i am rn

If I say something right now about the recent russian attacks on the objects of Ukrainian culture it's going to be a long post full of curses.

Instead, I will say this: next time you want to read a book from russian literature or praise russian culture, think about how much culture we will never get to experience because of russians.

And for fuck's sake, read something different.

a couple days ago offsite someone asked me if i was ukrainian due to the fact that i am a very strong advocate for ukraine there.

i said no, probably not (on the off chance i have a relative from there from a century ago) but it really made me feel pissed if anything that advocacy for ukraine is now limited to ukrainians. it’s pushed to the back of everyone’s consciousness by social media and the news and etc, to the point where it comes off as ‘you must be ukrainian, you care about it so much!’

i dont even know if that was their intentions when asking me, but its sad how much ukraine is ignored by the common people in this day and age. remember all genocides, not just the trending ones.

put a ukraine flag in my room, i might put it somewhere else but for now it looks tuff

[5soswfttwtaf]

that's why it's always so so important for foreigners to speak up about Ukraine, for men to speak up about femicide, for white people to speak up about racism, etc etc etc!! we should care bc we're humans, not because it's happening to us personally

[kamogryadeshi]

‼️In Kharkiv, 5 rescuers from the State Emergency Service were killed while extinguishing a fire as a result of a repeated Russian attack. At least 5 more were injured.

[kurhanchyk]

it feels like i'm not fully processing the damage done to the lavra. as an odesite, a lot of me was spent when our soborka was hit back in 2023. in war, there are certain degrees of naivety. when someone wishes you death, you try to find conditions under which it isn't true. in the very beginning many had this feeling that russians wouldn't strike the historical centre of odesa because they value symbols more than people. we knew it wasn't true, but it made sense. turned out the thing they hate the most about odesa is not what they believe to be "alien" to it which is us, ukrainians. the thing they hate the most about odesa is what they themselves recognise to be its core. because they know it's not their land. there are no conditions to their desire to see us gone from the past present and future. if only they could they'd make a crater out of my city

Please remember that Pride is important because someone tonight still believes they’re better off dead than being themselves.

[marzscreamz]

i think with how many jokes we make about pride and how happy we are about it, we need to understand why we have it. to appreciate people who lost their lives or are currently losing their lives for being themselves. remember the people who fought to give us the rights we have today. there are still so many people who are homophobic or transphobic, and that is what we need pride for. it is our job to be proud of ourselves so the bigots don’t win. show them we’re not going away. pride month is about loving yourself and others no matter their sexuality

[5soswfttwtaf]

was marching yesterday thinking about all these things, and it made me so emotional tbh

[orangeunicorn-of-freedom]

i was watching some of the videos made by 'innocent' russians after the recent Ukrainian drone strikes and listened to all them wail how 'regular people are not involved and shouldn't be suffering', 'i'm so far from politics and am not involved into this war so why am i suffering'

so i decided to sit down and think about how this war that russia started to destroy Ukraine affected me besides the obvious things like suffering from air strikes daily or being force to relocate abroad. so here's the list

- my home town of Kherson was occupied and is now under constant bombings and citizens are suffering from the human safari that russians do for fun and love of suffering - the theater where i performed and visited as a child - was hiе by a bomb - the maternity hospital where i was born was hit by a bomb - a relative of mine was killed by rocket strike - my uncle's family had to escape their village because russians were coming for them since he was a former military and all military people and their families were primary targets for russians to interrogate, torture and kill - my godmother's and another uncle's family had to do the same for the same reason - both of those villages are still occupied to this day - multiple houses in my neighborhood including my own house one way or another were damaged by shelling or explosions

so yeah, when they say 'i'm not in any way connected to this war' - think again. somebody you know, your family, your relatives, you friends, your colleagues, their families, their friends - someone is one way or another is involved with this war. military operations and supporting infrastructures are not operated by empty rooms or faceless ghosts, or putin's clones. they are all living breathing human beings that KNOW what they are doing. they made a conscious choice to do it and they've been doing it since day one with no remorse. that's why i'm not sorry for them and they are not innocent. and i will never forgive them
