Info-post

Okay, guys, i made this post because i'm honestly tired of the lack of information about Ukraine. The war isn't over and genocide of Ukrainians became normalized. Plus there are a lot of people who truly believe there's no more war because they rarely see any news! So here are a few sources you can share. Donations are optional LIVE MAPS: -Air Raid Alert Map (interactive map where you can see where air raid sirens are on, which cities are under attack, explosions etc) -DeepState map (also an interactive map with areas that were liberated or are currently occupied by russians; is updated every day) NEWS SOURCES: -GRUNT MEDIA (tweet in Ukrainian, but if you use twitter, you can always click a translation button) -United 24 Media (tweet in English!). Their official website is -> HERE -Bring Kids UA. They help locate and bring home children who were kidnapped by russians. Their official website -> HERE; their twitter -> HERE; useful links (including a petition) are HERE -Save Ukraine. Its a registered charitable organization established in 2014 that coordinates dozens of organizations, volunteers, individuals and legal entities to help those affected by war, with a special emphasis on children. Their websire -> HERE; their twitter -> HERE -TV Toronto -Kyiv Independent + their twitter -Ostap Yarysh. Covers US-Ukraine relations, tweets in ENG. His twitter -> HERE -Ukraine World. Multilingual media about Ukraine. Their website -> HERE. Their twitter -> HERE -Zarina Zabrisky. US journalist who reports from Ukraine. Tweets a lot about Kherson city, a city in the south of Ukraine that get shelled and attacked by russian drones DAILY. Recently released a film called "Human Safari" that shows you reality of the town. You can watch her film -> HERE. Her twitter is -> HERE Charities/volunteers who help AFU: -COME BACK ALIVE (a non-governmental organisation that helps strengthen Ukraine’s security and defence sector. Has been operational since 2014, when the war has started!) This organization is VERY TRANSPARENT! Their website is -> HERE. Their twitter -> HERE -Serhiy Prytula charity foundation. He also helps Armed Forces of Ukraine with trucks, drones etc. -Sternenko Foundation. Serhii Sternenko is a famous Ukrainian volunteer. He helps UA soldiers with FPV drones. Drones have been crucial weapons/helping tools in this war. They are useful not only for observing, repelling the attacks of the enemies, but also bringing food/water/medicine to wounded soldiers. His twitter -> HERE -Leleka Foundation. Medicine, tactical medicine! Lots of lives on the battlefiled are saved with the help of proper tourniquetes and equipment. This org provides it. Their twitter -> HERE -Wild Hornets. Drones-drones-drones. They make drones that are crucial for this war. Their twitter -> HERE -Project Konstantin. They deliver aid, vehicles, communications tools, and tactical equipment. Their twitter -> HERE -NAFO 69th Sniffling Brigade. They bring trucks for Ukrainian defenders. Those who read the news at least a little bit, are aware how important 4x4 trucks are. Especially for evacuation. Their twitter -> HERE -World Central Kitchen. International organization who provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. They work with locals and really there for those who are affected. A soon as territories in Ukraine were liberated, they were there to help. Unlike OSCE, the UN, Red Cross etc, WCK truly help people. They keep working in Ukraine despite the shelling. By the way, they work all over the world and helped people in Gaza too! Their twitter -> HERE THANK YOU to everyone who shares this! Please amplify Ukrainian voices, talk about Ukraine, support those who were affected by war... unfortunately it's closer than you think.

Sometimes I'll catch myself saying something like "yeah, we had only two ballistics flying over us that night, so I was able to catch enough sleep :)" and then think.... Why the fuck I'm not freaking out more about that. WHERE in the world it's normalized to integrate being genocided in a fucking war into your daily routine? And also you have to balance it with your work and social life?

I had been to the Chornobyl museum once, on a school trip. I wanted to go again as an adult, especially after visiting actual Prypyat and Chornobyl and seeing the Chornobyl nuclear power plant myself.

Earlier this year the museum underwent some big repairs and updates and expansions in its display, and I was already making plans to go there within weeks.

And then russia destroyed it. The entire historical building it was in. Part of the building turned into ruins.

First they destroy things. And then they destroy even the memory if the things they destroyed earlier.

And you all aestheticize and praise them for it. And often help them do it.

I haven't been updating much lately, trying to focus on getting my life together, but I have to share this for my piece of mind.

Tonight (24.05.2026) russia attacked my city (Kyiv, Ukraine) with drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. It's not anything unusual, and lately we've been getting better at deflecting these attacks, but not tonight. Due to the lack of defense weaponry, my city suffered a lot of damage. The worst damaged area – my neighborhood, Lukyanivka.

My neighborhood is famous for several things, among them is the first McDonald's in my country, an old farmers' market and a fine mall right by the subway station. Almost all of these things got destroyed tonight by ballistic missiles:

The mall:

The market:

The station suffered minor damages, but the smoke and dust from the explosions got underground to the people using the station as a shelter. They had to be evacuated to the nearest station to prevent suffocation or poisoning. I've experienced this before, you really feel like the whole 80 meters of earth above your head are going to cave in at any moment.

By the sheer force of luck me and my family happened to be outside of the city. We heard the missiles passing by and exploding in Kyiv. The explosions were so loud, we heard them clearly even being 50+ kms away from the city!

If we were home during the attack, we would have gone to the neighboring underground parking lot. One of missiles fell right outside of our neighboring building, the one with the parking lot. It shattered glass in several buildings around it, the explosion wave hitting my building as well. Some of my neighbors lost their windows as well from the explosion wave.

I am devastated to say the least. It doesn't feel real to see your home gone. Everything I grew up with, places I frequented with the people no longer with us, they're gone. I know we'll rebuild, but I can't shake off the guilt for not being here for my home.

This is the video I took while looking around the market.

One last thing about Netflix DMC before I return to my hole

Here's the thing I need people to understand about Netflix's business model (and the business model of most of the entertainment industry right now)

Step 1: Greenlight a new show, but because you're nervous that something completely original might bomb, attach a preexisting franchise to it. Regardless of if that IP fits with the story you're trying to tell or not, you can at least guarantee fans of the preexisting IP will give it a shot.

Step 2: Bait the preexisting fans of that franchise into consuming your show to juice your early release numbers and push it to people who have never heard of the preexisting IP before

Step 3: Congratulations! By the time fans of the preexisting IP realize that the show doesn't respect the thing it's wearing as a skin suit, you've already pushed the show to the top so the normies who have never heard of preexisting IP are curious enough to watch it. As long as the show is good enough they will probably stick around long enough to justify making a few more seasons of it so they can continue profiting off of it.

Step 4: Discard fans of preexisting IP because you no longer need them. It's nice for the corporation if some of them like it and stick around, but normies and hate watchers will prop up your numbers from here on out.

In this case it's DMC, but just think of all the remake reboot reimagining recycled things that have come out in the last ten years or so. Studios are terrified of taking risks on new IPs so they just continue recycling the ol' reliables. Sometimes that's fine, because the people making the new thing respect the source material and genuinely want to do a good job, and sometimes it's terrible because they're just making slop so a big corporation's line can go up. Netflix makes slop, and they have for a looooong time now. There's literally directives in Netflix writer's rooms to "write like the audience is going to be playing on their phone the whole time." They don't respect you enough to create content (dare I say art) that they expect you to actually pay attention to. They're creating background noise for you to use as you scroll social media. That's the definition of slop.

It's fair for fans of DMC to be hurt and annoyed and upset by the blatant exploitation done to them by a corporation that was clearly never intending to respect the thing they love. They handed the series to a guy who explicitly stated that he hates that the series didn't die, because the only thing he liked about making a DMC anime is that he might get to be the Godsavior of DMC who we would all bow to and thank for reviving our favorite dead franchise. And he handed it to writers who, even if they did want to respect DMC, were kneecapped by executive directives that boil down to "you don't have to try and make a good show. Just treat everyone watching like phone obsessed zombies who won't even be paying attention."

And I hated season 1, and I hate that people say "well if you don't like it then don't watch it" because first, how was I supposed to know I wouldn't like it before I watched it? That's how they get you. Even if fans of the existing IP hate it, they got the subscriptions and views they wanted before you realized you didn't like it because we were all willing to give it a chance. Don't even get me started on all the false advertising they did for season 1 (and apparently season 2? I've seen people say they marketed the Dante vs. Vergil angle heavily and then they barely fight in season 2). Second, I didn't watch season 2 specifically because I don't want to reward this kind of exploitative behavior from big corporations.

Man i kinda hate being bombed with ballistics at 3 in the morning while living in Europe in 21st century....

[unicorngunter]

Friendly reminder that russians are sending ballistics to the same locations in two waves so they can kill more medics and volunteers who arrived to help those who suffered from the first attack. Then those ordinary Vasyas and Tolyas will return to their ordinary families to live their ordinary lives after terrorizing and genociding us yet another day. ALL ruzzians are guilty

[mayday396]

Ukrainians I need you to know that out of context to a foreigner that this is actually genuinely terrifying

[mayday396]

Okay this got alot reblogs

Why I said this was that the idea of a Swarm of Bats locked onto a Russian Patrol officer was in my head idk

[swamp-cats-den]

Just another bioweapon of ours, which we have plenty, including but not limited to genetically modified mosquitos and battle geese!

No this is actually a fucking insane to thing to say to victims of centuries of colonization, genocide, oppression, and forcible deportation who say "hey maybe consider not glorifying our oppressor through media you create, especially since a lot of things you consider to be cultural of that nation are actually stolen from the peoples they colonized" to then respond with "well I, a progressive westerner, really enjoy media about your oppressor and think you're hysterical at best and racist at worst for trying to take that away from me". Like how is that a normal thing i have to experience every day. Unreal.

[dankoneversl33b]

guys guys references to russian literature don't make you niche nor original nor deep or mysterious, it makes you look like an ignorant unoriginal fuck because your only point of reference for something "deep and mysterious" is russia, as something opposing the west. broaden your interests, explore more, there are other cultures and literatures outside of imperialistic genocidal maniacs with huge victim complex, you can do better.

[kyrylo-kot]

i want to be more active and maybe find some more mutuals, but the problem is that i'm ukrainian and i don't trust most of the people on this site to be normal about my country lmao
