I Need Time

I really have no idea what this blog even is anymore. Fandoms, memes, photography, issues that bother me...pretty much a messy, incoherent summary of my life. Welcome.

About the Russian invasion - how is everyone feeling there? What can we do to help?

Thank you so much for asking!

A little bit of history: it's actually been 8 years since russia first invaded our country. But for the last years it was getting more and more quiet. And now BOOM again

Many people evacuated from the destroyed by war cities in 2014 and some still live there even though they support Ukraine. It's hard to leave your home. So it's emotionally different for everyone. There was a joke that people from Kyiv worry more than people from Eastern Ukraine. Because they have experienced a similar thing in 2014 and now they're more prepared than ever before.

Personally, I'm panicking from time to time, because, yup, it's stressful. Most people don't really speak about the war and evacuation because it's scary. But I feel like everyone's trying to be prepared for the evacuation or fighting. Every night does feel like a last one, after all.

Since the beginning of the war, our people have been giving money to military charity. One of the most famous military charities is "Return alive" (Povernysya zhivim). Many Ukrainians donate here every month. Here is a link for Facebook page of the charity, let me know if it translates to English or if i should make a post with translation:

There is also a charity that helps military. Yana Zinkevych, a Ukrainian politician and a commander of the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, leads this charity. In 2015 she was paralyzed during a mission and since then she has been using a wheelchair. She has personally saved more than 200 soldiers and she's awesome.

In her post here she makes a list of needed ammunition and the needed money.

I tried to write about the charities that Ukrainians trust in. They are famous, they have been trusted by people all these years, so as far as I am concerned, they can be trusted.

Here is a post by @everlasting-burnout who provided more links. They seem trustworthy.

All links are from these threads by Ukrainians: https://twitter.com/bluegreymoon/status/1495165689220505606, https://twitter.com/olgatokariu

Thank you so much for reading and I encourage to reblog. Just to remind you, I'm trying to tell about Ukrainian situation as objectively and as truthfully as I can

I know it’s only an artblog here so idk if it’s the best place to talk about this but...

I think a lot about what’s happening today and I can’t even imagine how difficult it can be for you... I feel very powerless about it. 

Please read this post if you want to help

i find it really iconic how the grishaverse is made up of three series of books and two of them end with a sentence about kaz brekker. who's doing it like him

@aroacedavestrider my dude i cannot in good faith accept these useless geography facts on account of them being iconic, actually

[ruffboi-mags]

oh my god nothing in my imagination could’ve prepared me for market island.

or for this review on google maps:

[aroacedavestrider]

im glad to know my horrible facts are making their rounds and im here with more horrible facts

- the most secluded inhabited island in the world is a place called tristan da cunha. its in the middle of the atlantic ocean at a whopping fucking 1500 miles away from the closest inhabited location (south africa). people just fucking live out there??

- the oldest lake in the world is (probably) lake zaysan in kazahstan. nobodys entirely certain yet but theres evidence that suggests that this is a 65 million year old body of water, meaning theres a lake that exists and can be looked at today that could have had dinosaurs drinking out of it at one point

-the lake immediately following that is confirmed to be at least 25 million years old and thats lake baikal in siberia russia. the bitch is on a continental fault that expands about 2cm per year and as of right now this lake is over a mile deep. the bottom however is FULL of sediment and the actual rift floor is NINE MILES DOWN. this monstrosity of a lake contains literally 20% of the earths nonfrozen fresh water, it has its own unique species of seal, and eventually in millions of years this thing is gonna be an ocean. lake baikal is a baby fucking ocean. its gonna split russias ass in two. i am 100% certain it is sentient

- there is not a single river in saudi arabia and that blows my mind for some reason

- theres whats now considered a lost “eighth continent” thats submerged in the south pacific ocean. the islands of new zealand are the highest peaks of the chunk of continental crust that we now call zealandia. its about half the size of australia and its also connected to other little archipelagos like new caledonia. we found it. old zealand

- the entrance to this fucking ancient bay lake in venezuela (lake maracaibo, over 20 million years old) is the most likely place to get struck by lightning in the world. it gets around 1.2 million lightning strikes per year 

- LAKE HILLIER AUSTRALIA FUCKIGN PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- and finally. more enclave border bullshit. i told yall about baarle hertog. now look at india and pakistan. i present to you the one and only third order enclave

this . this was a piece of india, surrounded by a piece of bangladesh, surrounded.. by a piece of india….. surrounded by bangladesh . it has since been ceded over to bangladesh but the fact that we allowed this to exist is incredible

anyway do with all that what you will. raise your hand if you can tell this is a fixation of mine

[shitacademicswrite]

sooo….. THIS is Baarle-Hertog:

The wikipedia article names all the enclaves and tells you what the border runs through, including such gems as:

– H7, De Loversche Akkers: Boundary runs through two dwellings, including the middle of one front door (giving it two house numbers: Loveren 2, Baarle-Hertog / Loveren 19, Baarle-Nassau).

– H13, Boschcoven:  Boundary runs through about 20 dwellings.

– H16, Keizershoek - Oordelsche Straat:  Boundary runs through a house and three sheds, with three turning points inside just one shed.

Fun thing about these spots on the Dutch-Belgian border: it was ridiculous during lockdown because our countries had different rules about going into shops. So people would be going into a shop without a mask and someone at the till would have to be like “excuse me, isle seven is in Belgium please put on your mask or I have to kick you out” it was so funny and stupid

ceasefire will take place in a couple of hours I think but just so we're clear: ceasefire is less than the bare fucking minimum. the bottle line is no peace until Palestine is free. and people in Gaza are reporting intensified airstrikes so don't be fooled into thinking israhell has a conscience. as a political entity no settler colonial project, no apartheid state, no genocidal government has one. they said verbatim that they wouldn't stop until 'Gaza was quite' so let's keep shouting alongside them and all Palestinians in their struggle.
