Kyiv Pechersk Lavra after russian attack during the night.
Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is an architectural ensemble of monastic buildings, founded the 11th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mystetskyi Arsenal near Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. Mystetskyi Arsenal is a cultural institution, a museum and art exhibition complex. Every year it hosts Ukraine’s biggest book fair.
russians hit Kyiv Pechersk Lavra complex, which is basically a christian heart of Kyiv and also a UNESCO World Heritage site, right in the building with the altar. They hit Mystetskyi Arsenal National Art and Culture Museum Complex right across the street from Lavra. They hit an art museum in Kharkiv. They hit The Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio, destroying the biggest costume collection in Ukraine. They hit the House of Organ and Chamber Music in Dnipro.
All of this in one day (the biggest attack occured at night).
russians hitting important cultural buildings is nothing new, they destroyed countless of churches and museums, but this night feels like they were targeting specifically everything significant to ukrainian culture and identity. And after that they and their supporters dare to say "where's your culture? you have none".
Art and culture is NEVER out of politics. THIS is why we're so mad when westerners keep praising anything related to russian culture itself. While people are praising their culture, russians are actively stealing and destroying ours.
So the best thing you can do is shift the focus towards Ukrainian culture along with the cultures of nations that also suffered from russia and support our artist.

AU where the Ent wives were indeed living in the Shire, so when Saruman arrived there to make mischief he immediately got his shit wrecked by yet more walking talking trees
Witnessing this current RF Kuang conversation might give me some kind of a brain damage.
Like No Way! Apparently now everyone thinks that a depiction of a state (and its residents) that currently committing a genocide in a positive or neutral light in media Is Actually Bad?? And can cause harm?? Interesting! Is it like a general rule now or it only applies to states with minimal cultural influence? Because i don't remember seeing this type of outrage about a poor little gay hockey player.
For the 100th time: Ukraine is not Palestine
By Anastasia Lebedenko - A Personal War
I wish I said this phrase to a man who was screaming at me last Sunday, comparing me, Ukrainian, to a Palestinian. It took me a week to cry this situation out, and then another few days to try and put it into words. So, here’s a story of how an apartment viewing turned into a political fight and (sort of) a harassment case.
Ukraine is in a funny spot. It’s abandoned by the people on the left because they see the West as inherently bad, and refuse to see russia for the imperial hellhole that it is, sticking to its romanticised communist-dream past. Ukraine-russia war is not viewed through an imperial lens, because people cannot fathom the idea that imperialist agenda does not have a skin colour. It’s abandoned by the right because why should anyone get involved in a war that’s not theirs? Ukraine is seen as an altogether separate entity from the so-called West — what happens there has no real bearing on life of an average American or European, so it should be none of their business.
Ukrainians are even in a funnier spot — seen as too white to be suffering the consequences of imperialism, too Christian to be suffering from a religious persecution, too similar to the neighbours who attack them to be differentiated from them. We’re all the same, the Slavs, right? A vast and empty steppe full of Russian-speaking people (oh wait, do you have your own language?) Can’t you just divide up a territory, if you’re one of the same?

the fact that at the council of elrond glorfindel is like “just throw the ring into the ocean” is so funny to me after reading the silmarillion just because it feels like the subtext is him being like “yeah let’s try maglor’s patented and tested method: Just Yeet The Accursed Fucking Thing Into The Water”
#in fairness they do do literally the other fëanorion approved method of magical item disposal #glorfindel: we could do like maglor and throw it in the ocean? #elrond: no we’re doing like maedhros and jumping into a volcano via @lesbianlanval
*at the council of Elrond*
Elrond: Alright, everyone listen up. We elves have 4 methods of dealing with Accursed Fucking Objects™, as demonstrated by my four parents.
Number 1, the Elwing Method or Mom Method. This is to hide the accursed fucking thing away and keep it safe and close. This is highly not reccommended if the object can take over its user like the ring can, and Sauron will be searching for it, so this method is out of the question.
Number 2, the Earendil Method or the Dad #1 Method. This is, send the accursed fucking thing across the sea or to some higher power. According to Mithrandir, the Valar will not take it and Tom Bombadil wants nothing to do with it, so this is also out of the question.
Number 3 is the Maglor Method, or Dad #2 Method. This is to yeet the accursed fucking thing into the ocean. In this case, it is not a good idea as Ulmo will be very upset and we will still have to contend with Sauron.
The last method is the Maedhros Method or the Dad #3 Method. This method is to yeet yourself into a volcano while holding the accursed fucking thing, and also the method we will be using. You will not have to yeet yourself into the volcano, only the ring, don’t worry, Frodo.
Those…those really are the four methods aren’t they?
@procrastinationonvacation how dare you hide this in the tags
Listen, Boromir knows 1 (one) ancient elven story and damn it, he’s going to ride that horse until it dies.
"Overnight, russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM. Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack. Multiple shopping centers, apartment blocks and residential areas destroyed. Also, a reported use of Oreshnik on Bila Tserkva near Kyiv, The casualty count is just beginning to trickle in."
"National museum of Chornobyl in the historical building has been destroyed during the one of the biggest russian attack on the Kyiv."
These russian scumbags are always spreading terror and death everywhere. They just launch hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles to kill innocent people and destroy cultural monuments because they are incapable of anything else. It's just that people somewhere out there often forget who russians are, so look at these shots and always keep them in mind.
As a result of tonight's savage russian attack on Kyiv—one of the worst I have experienced—a dozen cultural, educational, and scientific institutions were damaged.
Pictured here are the Chornobyl Museum, the Institute of Literature, the Stary Lev bookshop, and the National Art Museum of Ukraine. Several schools, bookshops, and the Kyiv School of Economics were also affected.
Not to mention dozens—if not hundreds—of residential buildings, markets, office buildings, and coffee shops.
Yet many people will continue celebrating "great russian culture" as if nothing is happening.
Happy Vyshyvanka Day!
I forgot it was today 😭

“I agreed only because I need money for the stable roof.”
“I believe you,” the Zaporizhian chuckles, raising the other man’s palm to his lips and kissing his wrist. “And when I saw that it was none other than Mihai Dracule looking for me, I couldn’t believe my luck.”
“Have we met before?” Mihai asks, furrowing his brow. If so, it is strange that he did not remember Red.
It is hard to forget someone like him.
“I saw you in Kyiv once, at a competition during some festival. It was a long time ago, about seven years from now, when you were obviously still willing to take part in such events.”
“I earned my living doing what I did best. The biggest prizes were at the royal competitions. That is where the Crown Hetman took notice of me.”
“You were incredible,” Red says, kissing him again, this time on the thumb knuckle.
Mihai starts to feel a pleasant tingling in his stomach. He moves closer.
“Why did you not approach me back then?”
We could have met much earlier…
Red blinks a few times and stares into Dracule’s amber eyes, as if searching for something. And he must have found it, because he smiles so dazzlingly that Mihai risks going blind.
But it is worth it.
“I wanted to,” admits the otaman. “But I had just joined my brethren and couldn’t just leave them like that. Because, to be completely honest, I was afraid that getting to know you would make me change my mind about the Sich.”
“I see,” here Mihai could have continued yesterday’s persuasion to move in with him at the estate, but he holds his tongue.
“And you didn’t exactly look approachable.”
Dracule snorts.
“That did not stop you a week ago.”
In response, Red laughs heartily and snuggles up to Mihai, wrapping his arms around his neck:
“A week ago, I decided I’d be a complete fool if I blew my chance with you a second time.”
You’re not a complete fool, but a fool for Dracule nonetheless, Red!

“Ha!” Red cheerfully kisses him on the cheek and grabs the mug with both hands, taking a loud gulp from it.
In response to the rude sound, Mihai curls his lips but does not scold the Zaporizhian. Instead, he runs his fingers through the otaman’s bright hair—soft and smooth, nothing like his own—and gently massages his head.
“And what am I supposed to do with you now?” Mihai muses, speaking not so much to Red as to himself.
“What do you mean?” Red squints with satisfaction, still relaxed, though Dracule senses that he has tensed up ever so slightly. “I thought we’d made it pretty clear what we are going to do with each other.”
With the other hand, Mihai picks up his wine glass, but instead of drinking, he slowly swirls it by the stem, watching the dark red liquid run down the transparent walls.
“You have obviously forgotten, but I was ordered to take you to some magnate in Zbarazh. Who is he, by the way, and why is he so desperate to meet you?”
Because resorting to me with a request like this is a sign of utter desperation.
“Don’t worry about that nonsense. And don’t take me anywhere. Just leave me where you found me and come visit from time to time.”
“Or you will come visit me?” Mihai raises an eyebrow, mentally picturing idyllic scenes with the otaman at his estate.
“Or I’ll come visit you. Sounds like a good option for us, doesn’t it?”
Mihai’s imagination is running wild, and having the Zaporizhian right by his side feels so good that he can barely hear the rational objections in his head as he voices a completely irrational proposal:
“And how about you move in with me at my place? For good.”
A shadow crosses Red’s face.
“And what will I be doing there?”
“Whatever you want. It is peaceful there. I have a garden, a vegetable patch, a pond, a winery. We will drink my wine, compete, make love. I am rarely called away on duty, so we will have plenty of time for each other,” Mihai closely watches the changes in the otaman’s mood but continues his thought: “How much longer do you plan to wander the steppes, chasing phantom ideals?”
Red glares at him and moves away. In his gaze, Dracule sees not only a fresh wound to his pride, but also long-standing pain and resentment about someone else. Therefore, Mihai makes no attempt to keep the man close, releasing his hand from his hair and giving him space.
“Do you really think I’d be content with a life in a golden cage paid for by the Polish crown? Do you think you can turn me into a lover, a concubine?! No way, don’t even dream of it, my hawk, you won’t wrest the otaman regalia and cossack honor even from my dead hands!”
If someone had told Mihai just a week ago that he would be listening with fascination to the fanatical rant of an ideological Zaporizhian vagabond, the registered officer would not have believed it.
Yet here I am.
Tense as a bowstring, Red stares expectantly at Mihai. Mihai takes a pause, calmly sipping from his glass and showing off his elegant profile, then turns to the redhead and places his hand on his knee.
“Sorry, but you will have to settle for being nothing more than my lover. We cannot get married—even my audacity is not enough for that.”
Dracule, what a little shit you are!

More than 1560 drones and 56 missiles against Ukrainian cities since midnight yesterday
This explains perfectly why this show is so harmful. Nothing will convince me otherwise.
It’s always been like this - example brighton beach is called a russian neighborhood but its official nickname is little odesa.
But it feels extra insidious now that russia is literally BOMBING the city and trying to take it over. They want to capture and occupy Odesa so badly that they’ve been hitting the entire region nearly nonstop for three years. And westerners just sit there going hehe russia
he called odesa a russian city??
oh my god 😭 the ignorance... the stupidity...
it's 2026! I thought we were over calling everything connected to former ussr "russian" since 1991?
The most important thing that westerners don't (want to) realize that this is the russian soft propaganda. They use the media to spread useful narratives and rewrite history. Also they control western audiences' public perception of russia and its international image. By telling the "half truth" (russia being homophobic) they create an illusion of being open about everything that is happening (aggression against neighbouring countries and war against Ukraine). They just don't say it out loud, because "they don't want to distract you (the viewer) from the most important thing - a tragic story of two lovers". No war or genocide can stay even close to the story of two people (no matter straight or gay) that want to fuck but it's a "no-no".
In fact, russia is so cartoonishly evil, that uses gay people only if it needs props for propaganda (t.A.T.u at the Eurovision 2003) or to fearmonger its own people.
A crazy fucking night, it felt like the number of russian drones was endless, they were coming and coming and then there were missiles. And the attack is still not over
There's nothing in this world I hate more than the abomination that is russia
