#Ukraine

Just because Trump supposedly brought tiktok back doesn’t mean he’s someone worth following. You may notice that TikTok says “thanks to Trump we are back” or something of that matter, but you need to realize that people will do good things to persuade others to follow them. Trump has caused many issues inside America and a lot of his values and actions follow the same path past dictators followed. He does not care about Gaza, Ukraine, or Congo. He does not care about the immigrants who come into our country. He does not care about the LGBTQ+ community. He does not care about the black, asian, Native American, Mexican lives in American. He’s selfish, he wants power, and he knows how to control the masses. Remember to stay smart guys and love your neighbors.

Ukrainian traditional outfit on my Whispering Grass Cornelia.

The most tricky part is to find in-scale fabrics and findings with a proper patterns for this kind of costume. Embroidery on the shirt is imitated with a lace. The doll is 45 cm high and is available as fullset for purchase.

Just to add for anyone watching. When the interviewees talk about being patient, how victory will come to the patient, how God stands with the patient, they are using the word صبر which, in this context, means not pure patience but steadfastness. Or more specifically, the ability and determination to withstand and to forbear. It is not a passive word. It is not just waiting. It is enduring.

On the streets of Free Damascus, I asked Syrians if they had a message to send to the people of Ukraine.

Here is what they said:

Was reading the stories of people who were killed by russia in Kryvyi Rih on January 17th and where they were at that moment. One woman went outside to talk to the neighbour, another woman driving with her husband to their son's birthday, another person and his aunt coming back home and his grandma greeting them. Such mundane actions. Then missile attack happens and they're all dead.

What's in Elon Musk's head.

The most mysterious show

[Image ID: The words "what's in the head of Elon" photoshopped into a poster for the TV show "Mask. The most mysterious show", a Ukrainian version of the show "The Masked Singer". The big bright pink and glittery word 'Mask' in the middle of the picture sounds in Ukrainian the same way as 'Musk', hence the pun. /End ID]

The Onion posted that article a couple of days after these photos came out (I'm attaching one of the less gruesome pics). Streets covered in bodies of tortured and murdered Ukrainians russian occupants didn't even bother to remove. The Onion is mocking this

really don’t think the onion got taken to task for this enough post-bucha

look at the date.

@ OP and other Ukrainians in the notes — is there anything those of us outside the situation can do to support you?

I've been trying to actively learn and listen, to hear your stories and believe you, and to boost your words, but please share if there is anything else.

seeing russian comments about ukrainians and thinking. it's about me. they want me dead. they want to kill me; my friends; my neighbours; my classmates; so on. they want us dead or russified. they are actively trying to do so
