reblog to thank prev for being here
Another change in the environment around my artwork, which is somehow still holding on after russia’s latest massive terrorist attack on Kyiv. As the world keeps caring less and less, genocidal freaks are now openly threatening to destroy our capital with missiles. ____________
If you want to support me and my art - my tip jars are HERE along with links to trusted foundations to support Ukraine.
Hello!!
Soo..I didn’t think that I’ll write something like that in tumblr,but.
Situation is getting worse every day. People are suffering,dying,and lose their homes in my country.
I’m 14 years old,and I’m from Kyiv.
In June,russian singer held a concert in Mariupol. U don’t understand the problem? That’s fine. I can tell u
This is what it looks like. Or rather,looked like.
russians killed half of the city’s population. Attacks were so horrible that people were forced to bury the bodies of the dead in their YARD.
No,that’s not a horror film,that’s how the population of the port city from 235 thousand turned into 100 thousands. But,why did I say “looked” in the beginning of the paragraph?
Mariupol Drama Theatre, 2022 - - - 2026.
In 2022,russia destroyed it,and killed 300 people, who used it as a shelter. On the first photo u can see a huuuge letters «дети» (it was even written on russian language,in hope that it will stop them) ,and it translates like “children”.
And,the second photo. That’s how it looks now,with russian flag on it. They call it improvement, reconstruction. Killing thousands of people,and transforming a mass grave of a hundred people into a beautiful place,to show their kindness and friendlines.
They “reconstructed” only city centre. Most of the city looks like that,
And a RUSSIAN singer sang a RUSSIAN SONGS in the city,that was destroyed by RUSSIA
————————————————————————-
A lot of cities,villages and houses were destroyed by russia. So much that the number of dead Ukrainians is 525–625 thousands, if you count the missing. russia is a terrorist state. Because of its president,army and people,who don’t want to be considered as a terrorist,and do not want to do something.
They’re sailing apartments,in “reconstructed” houses. And u think,that this houses inhabited by Ukrainians? No! It is inhabited by russians, who's buying an apartment there.russia brought about 60-80 thousand russian civilians and labour migrants from Central Asia. The russian authorities use them to change the ethnic composition of the city and as cheap labour after up to 90% of the housing stock was destroyed during the hostilities. They’re kidnapping ukranian children, Under the guise of summer camp. 50!!!! People were killed by them only this week in Kyiv. And they don't want to be called terrorists. We need to filter,who’s a terrorist and who’s not😳.
For the first,learn to filter your land from someone else's! Learn to speak,learn to feel something finally! Don't make excuses that you can't do anything. U can. And people in Ukraine need ur voice.
Killing people is not normal at all. Invading their land is not normal too. Raping people,torment them,and then tell everyone that u are saving someone is not normal ESPECIALLY!
Every person who died because of our neighbouring country had their life,dreams,opinion,history and soul. Every person had their plans for the future,and wanted to live. And not to be buried in someone’s yard,with the sign “unknown body. Date” instead of a tombstone.
Freedom for Ukraine,and peace for ur sky!
Restoration presented as rebuilding, but many see it as part of a broader Russification effort in occupied Ukrainian city
Guys I love you all
I turned out to be okay! My city and my neighborhood not so much though.
I don't feel okay mentally right now so I'll be brief: on the night between the 18th and the 19th of July there was a massive ballistic air raid on Kyiv, my city. I think a total of 50 ballistic missiles were launched towards my city and, as you may know, there are no ways to defend ourselves against them at the moment. There are Patriot air defense complexes, but we don't have any ammunition for them.
With ballistic missiles there's only 1-3 minutes from the moment they're launched to the moment they hit the target. Tonight's targets were shopping malls and civil apartment blocks. Including my very neighborhood and my very street.
We had no time to run to the shelter (an underground parking lot of the building next door) so we huddled in the hallway of our flat, away from the windows. The explosions were so so loud, I heard the glass in the windows shake from the explosion wave. For a second I thought the missiles hit our building directly or broke the windows.
I made my family run in our pajamas in the SHORT break of 2 minutes between the missile launches. That's how bad it was. I noticed my mom, my dog and my sibling getting ahead and thought to myself that if I died and they got to safety first, I would be happy. We all got to the shelter and could barely handle the shock.
I felt like I would never ever ever sleep or eat again, that I never wanted to do anything in my life ever again.
My street is a short one, around 20 buildings in total. A missile landed 300 meters away from our home and all apartment blocks except ours got their windows blown out. A newly reconstructed historical building burned down. Our building was okay only because other buildings took the shockwave on themselves.
My street, my home, the place I love so so much...
“Home or exile? Lord or subject? Master or slave? These are the eternal themes of knowledge, authority, and power that can never be settled for all time. There is no end of history; each generation must assert its will and imagination as new threats require us to retry the case in every age.”

We regret to inform you that the sunshine and friendship app is actually a children killing app.
I have been telling people for years that the company behind Pokemon Go had no-shit, for-realsies ties to the CIA and people never really took it that seriously. Anyway.
prev tags is a good tl;dr of what scanning means
“Surveillance capitalism’s economic imperatives were refined in the competition to sell certainty. Early on it was clear that machine intelligence must feed on volumes of data, compelling economies of scale in data extraction. Eventually it was understood that volume is necessary but not sufficient. The best algorithms also require varieties of data — economies of scope. This realization helped drive the “mobile revolution” sending users into the real world armed with cameras, computers, gyroscopes and microphones packed inside their smart new phones. In the competition for scope, surveillance capitalists want your home and what you say and do within its walls. They want your car, your medical conditions, and the shows you stream; your location as well as all the streets and buildings in your path and all the behavior of all the people in your city. They want your voice and what you eat and what you buy; your children’s play time and their schooling; your brain waves and your bloodstream. Nothing is exempt. Unequal knowledge about us produces unequal power over us, and so epistemic inequality widens to include the distance between what we can do and what can be done to us. Data scientists describe this as the shift from monitoring to actuation, in which a critical mass of knowledge about a machine system enables the remote control of that system. Now people have become targets for remote control, as surveillance capitalists discovered that the most predictive data come from intervening in behavior to tune, herd and modify action in the direction of commercial objectives. This third imperative, “economies of action,” has become an arena of intense experimentation. “We are learning how to write the music,” one scientist said, “and then we let the music make them dance.“”

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.
I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i
They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

"for you, i would" is such a gentle and sweet love language like no maybe i wouldn't usually do this but i would love to do it if it would make you happy.
