Hi-Ta-Ko

Слава Україні!

If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

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.

They also damaged the roof of the Mystetsky Arsenal (the largest exhibition complex in Kyiv).

Lots of love to the trans people this year who will get presents addressed to the wrong name because they’re closeted

Lots of love to the trans people this year who will get presents addressed to the wrong name because they are not accepted

Lots of love to the trans people this year who will get presents addressed to the wrong name despite being out

Your name is your name, and there will come a day when people will use it. Hang in there.

today, 18th May, is the remembrance day for those who died in 1944 mass deportations of Crimean Tatars. this was an act of ethnic cleansing by the soviet state.

afterwards, a lot of Crimean Tatars (who survived the deportations) lived in exile, and a lot of them waited until the independence of Ukraine to return to Crimea.

to this day Crimean Tatars experience persecution by the russian occupational authorities in their own homeland, Crimea. i’ve also known a few Crimean Tatars who cannot go home to see their family because of russian occupation of Crimea

the tragedy that befell Crimean Tatars in 1944 and the current ongoing persecutions should be remembered. Crimea was never russian.
