trump says zelenskyy is in the way of peace talks when russia is freezing both kyiv and kharkiv (two biggest cities of ukraine) in -15° for weeks by bombing all the power plants and critical infrastructure like that

not one power plant is intact in Ukraine anymore because of russian shelling

people spend days or even weeks without heating, electricity, and water

this is genocide

[vyvilha]

please don't forget about ukraine. we are still bombed every day. our houses razed to the ground. our electricity stations destroyed so we sit in darkness and cold. our children kidnapped and given to russian families. in occupied territories, russians take our homes, while the owners are buried in backyards.

[s-ua-nni]

I don't have electricity, water and heating. Again. And many Ukrainians are the same. When the temperature outside is -8 C° or below. Mmm how unexpected of russians to bomb civilian infrastructure 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. They want us to freeze to death😐.

While I was typing this, an air attack started. Again. How UNEXPECTED (no). Because of course they won't stop until we are all dead.

Please, support Ukraine. If not with money, then share information about russian crimes. It's REALLY important.

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors

Sergei Parajanov, 1965

[radicalgraff]

“When the last tree has fallen, and the rivers are poisoned, you cannot eat money.”

Graffiti found in amphitheater in Menomonie, Wisconsin

[mcgravin]

Originally:

"When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money."

—Alanis Obomsawin, an Abenaki from the Odanak reserve, seventy odd miles northeast of Montreal

[folklorespring]

More than 300 000 people without electricity in Chernihiv region of Ukraine after russian shellings, shellings also caused a 3-hour blackout at the Chornobyl Nuclear Plant. Oh and also russia disconnected occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant from the grid for a week and now it depends on diesel generators risking the disaster after the fuel runs out 🫠

You know what?

My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life.

Modern medicine saves lives.

[yarrowthewitch]

In fact, we know they did want these things, because they invented them. They gave them to us out of generations of struggling to understand and make use of nature itself. "Ancestral knowledge" includes the unglamorous things like germ theory, the functioning of the immune system, and how to manufacture lifesaving vaccines. It's not just magical or mystical or remote, it's present in our lives at every moment. It's the reward of human connection: the sum total of human discovery and the boundless ingenuity of human invention, surrounding us at all times with absolute miracles made banal by their familiarity.

If we reject modern medicine, then we reject all the labors and trials our ancestors went through for us; we reject our very nature.

Please, for your ancestors' sake: vaccinate your kids, and take your goddamn medicine.
