#24 February

You love books? Good thing you aren’t Ukrainian.

A try not post anything on the topic of w@r on this account but this situation ruined on another level. My hands are shaking as I write this.

Today, on 23th of May ru$$ians made a massive missile attack on Kharkiv and one of those missiles destroyed one of the biggest Printing Enterprises in Ukraine. 7 people was found dead (for this moment), more 40 was seriously injured and thousands of books completely destroyed. My favourite publisher manufactured their books there as well as 17 others. Years of work are gone in a blink of an eye. And it was just 1 out of 15 missiles.

Many books on my shelves was made there. But because we are neighbours with terr0ristic state my passion to literature costed people their lives.

Because that is what Ru$$ians do. They destroy every single aspect of our lives. They k!ll our people. They bring destruction and de@th. They don’t want to win to win the w@r, they want to erase Ukraine from the face of this Earth.

I understand that my home country isn’t the only one to struggle right now, but I am not going to apologies for wanting to help my people. War is still going. They b0mb us every day. People d!e every day. Every day I call my loved ones, fully aware that they might not pick up and that last time I talked with them was the last. I fear that I will never return home.

If Russia stop fighting — there is gonna be no war.

If Ukraine stop fighting — there is gonna be no Ukraine.

Save Ukraine.

Save Ukrainian people.

Arm Ukraine.

Слава Україні!

Before summer, I finished my oil painting

So here it is. Firstly, I made a collage from the photos I made on my school trip to South Bank in London. We didn't just go for the reference photos, we also went to a gallery near the National Theatre. It seems like something that is structured, I think. Also, it was my first oil painting and I hate the way it looks on some spots

Well, that is a good start

Also notice the "from 24 Feb". I didn't paint it on purpose, it just got in the reference photo. Such a funny coincidence

24 February 2023

A year ago, on the 24th February 2022, russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine (first military aggression and occupation of certain territories happened back in 2014).

The war is still not over, so I would like to ask you to show solidarity with Ukrainians in your city today.

You can find a link with information on events in 45 countries below. You can also google your city, since, sadly, the list isn't comprehensive.

The majority of rallies will take place today (24 Feb) in the evening but some will be held tomorrow (25 Feb), so it is still possible to join in for people from, say, Australia.

Of all the things that would pull me back from being chronically suicidal to being acutely so, I should have known it would be my family. Somehow, inexplicably, I was prepared for anything but not that. I was stupid, carefully avoiding so many factors and blindly walking right into that one. Thinking I was safe because they were there for me when I was acutely suicidal six weeks ago.

Why is it always family.

And I think Allah has gifted me this sickness because he wants my prayers to be answered. Thats what I'm thinking now and though it's painful Allah won't burden me beyond which I can bear.

I remain proud of these ones. I aimed for a faint abstraction of Western American decay, I'm not American, though.
