This is for all of my follwers/mutuals who are Christians:

I want to preface this by saying that what I'm about to share with you is only to ask you for prayer. I don't want favors, and I'm not looking for a handout. We need God to open a door for us, and so I beg you, please pray for us.

We moved to Florida coming on three years ago. We came here primarily because we believed God was leading us here. In various ways, we believed God confirmed His will for us, and so I left a great job and we sold a great house to move here. We have been opposed in every way imaginable since.

Days after moving down, Lisa and I were in a terrible car accident that we only walked away from by God's grace. We were rear-ended by an Edible Arrangements delivery truck on the highway, and Lisa sustained significant injuries that are still causing us major problems. The franchise owner was operating their delivery vehicle without insurance, and I've learned since that they shut down their Edible Arrangements franchise and took off, leaving us holding the bag.

I've been in armed security since I got out of the Marines, and in New Hampshire, that was enough to take care of myself and my family. But it isn't in Florida. The pay for most armed security gigs here is super low, and I haven't been able to find work comparable to what I had in New Hampshire. So I tried to change courses.

I earned my personal trainer certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, but couldn't make it as a trainer. I made the attempt to go back to college and get a degree and certification as a paramedic, but after months of jumping through hoops, that fell through. I went back to New Hampshire by myself and spent six months away from my family to try to earn enough money working both my old job and a second job, but that plan didn't work because hours were limited with both gigs, and each job wanted me to work overlapping hours; I couldn't make the schedules line up.

My incredibly generous parents-in-law offered to pay our bills so that I could come back to Florida and try a new plan. I went to a CDL training course to get into trucking. After the very long and very expensive process, I finally got my CDL-A. While I was working on that, a random disagreement between my health insurance company and the medical supplier that issued me my cpap (I have sleep apnea) resulted in the supplier demanding that I give them the machine back. It took from middle February to early June for me to get another cpap. The end result is that, as of today, I have just under two months of cpap usage data. I discovered only after getting my CDL that no trucking company will hire me with less than 90 days of cpap usage data.

I've been pre-hired and subsequently turned away from three different trucking companies since I got my CDL over the cpap nonsense (one of which told me that what I had for cpap usage was fine, only to tell me on the first day of orientation that it actually wasn't fine, and they had to let me go). It's going to be another month before I can get started with any trucking company, and I'm concerned that I'll have to go to refresher training, which will only increase the months of time I'll have to spend as a trainee with whatever company hires me, which means it will be a long time before I make enough money to survive.

My in-laws can't continue paying our bills, and although I've had a half dozen low paying jobs in this time just to be bringing in something, now I'm struggling to get anything. I've applied to more jobs than I can remember, and I can't get any traction. Not even Domino's will call me back. Our backs are up against a wall.

My first payment for the money I borrowed to pay for CDL school was due almost a month ago, and I haven't been able to pay it (I had to get financing because my GI Bill expired and the VA ignored my request for an extension). Rent is almost 2k a month. We can't afford groceries (we've been living off of food pantries).

I don't know what to do. I've been crying out to God for an open door, but so far nothing has happened. My in-laws are just about tapped out, and in my mind, the only thing worse than wrecking my own family financially is dragging them down with me.

Please pray for us. Please pray for God to give us an open door, or some understanding of what to do next. I know God didn't bring us here to let us die. God is good, and God keeps His promises. God is perfect, and righteous, and just in all His ways. God has promised that He will turn about all things for the good of them that love Him. I know God has not abandoned us, and that when the time is right, God will make a way.

I say again, I am not looking for favors or begging for money. I know all of us are really going through it right now. All I want from you is prayer. Please pray intensely for us.

Thanks, I love you all.

Birthday date!

Happy Birthday to someone who unexpectedly became one of my closest friends and my Josh supplier @softie-rain. Hope you enjoy this Sejanus date night!

uses the alt prompt 4 from @flufftober "I hate it" "No you don't"

He started all of it from the moment your eyes opened, much later than you had anticipated. The first thing you saw was Sejanus' wide smile with a bouquet of paper flowers that he made, and you could tell by the copious amount of Band-Aids lining his hands.

"Are you okay?" You mumbled out, reaching for his hands.

"More than! Its your birthday!" He giggled at the end, grabbing your hands and pressing kisses into the back of them both. "Made these for you love."

Sejanus was practically shaking the bed with the bubbled up excitement as he reached over towards the flowers. He aggressively pushed them towards you with giggles as you sat up against the headboard. He started to bounce back and forth at your yawned out acceptance. You were only given a minute to appreciate the gesture before tugging you out of bed with a promise of surprises to come.

--

It wasn't until the sun started to set that you finally had a calm moment with him, all the adventures of the day making your muscles ache in the best way. Sejanus lead you over a hill, allowing the both of you to take in the dark orange and red skies surrounding you before you turned your attention to the surprise the day had been leading towards.

"Ta da!" He yelled, pointing towards the mess of sheets adorning the grass.

"Picnic?" You mumbled, walking closer to what seemingly just looked like a mess.

"What? No can't you see the- oh shit wait!" Sejanus rushed towards one of the sheets, almost getting himself helplessly tangled in it before throwing it over a wire you hadn't seen. "Screen! Projector!" He rushed out, pointing to the machine behind you pointed directly at the white sheet.

Sejanus pulled you closer, making you look at the multitude of blankets and pillows in front of you on the ground. He sat down on the pile, causing you to follow suit. It didn't take long for him to pull you into him, allowing you to have a moment of quiet with the only noises being the wind and his rushing heart.

"So?"

"I hate it." You mumbled, trying to hide the wide smile burning into your face.

"No you don't." He whispered back, pressing a kiss into the top of your head

"I totally do, what are we even gonna watch?" Sarcasm heavy in your tone.

His arms left you for a moment causing you to whine making him laugh. He reached towards the bag he placed down moments before, and pulled out a laptop, setting it on his lap but pointed towards you so you could see all the contents.

"I've got bootlegs, Hulu, and Disney +, your choice sweetheart."

"Okay so maybe I don't hate it."

Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Rowan Suthikarn, the 33 year old farmer originally from Cardinal Hill, WA. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're dependable and avoidant, but what you might not know is that they are a human and that they’re hiding something… ― chai hansen, bisexual, cis male, he/him. threads / prompts / wanted connections / musings / pinterest / playlist

full name: rowan suthikarn

nickanme(s): roe

gender + pronouns: male + he/him

age: 33

birthdate: :11th of august 1957 (leo)

occupation: farmer

hometown: cardinal hill, wa

BIOGRAPHY

The eldest of three siblings, born and raised in Cardinal Hill, Rowan grew up immersed in the farm’s rhythm, adopting the schedule of nature as his own. Though he fell cursed to the unavoidable longing of small town teenagers for something else, something more. Familial duty and the comfort of farm life kept Rowan anchored to the town for a couple more years, working odd jobs besides besides being a farm hand, and it’s not until both his siblings have packed their bags and left town the second that diplome touched their hands that he finally gathers the courage for a “gap year”, well aware that he’d never leave if he didn’t allow that wind of change to sweep him up along. His family’s not extremely wealthy by any means, but they’re … comfortable. Being one of the main dairy suppliers around, sending two of three kids off to college is relatively easy - but Rowan’s backpacking trip is funded entirely by himself. He hikes his way through Canada, then spends a few months in Phuket when his Yaa sends him a check to come visit her for his birthday. [ redacted ] The call to return home comes at the right time, and Rowan can’t wait to board that flight back to Washington. Disillusion colors his 18-hour trip back home, where his father unceremoniously passes the farm down to him, too incapacitated to continue running it with only the help of a couple farmhands and his mother. His siblings nowhere to be found, familial duty once again makes him step up, the past year quickly forgotten, pushed to the very back of his mind. The truth is, uncharacteristic for many small town kids, quiet farm life had been calling out to him for quite some time, and once he sets foot on familiar ground there’s a weight lifted off his shoulder, and he’s grounded. And so he settles back into life relatively easily. Isn’t even as mad as he should be when Sterling turns up at his doorstep after vanishing off the face of the earth for two years. The comfort of a familiar face is priceless, and what kind of friend would he be not to invite him with open arms?

There’s something haunting him, though, something that not even the settled routine of generations of farmers can disperse. During the day, at least, his mind’s quiet, stifled by the chipper of birds and idle chit chat. And at night, Rowan takes his escapism to the dance floor. And if there is no dance floor, then he opens one, between bar stools in a darkened, run-down ditch of a bar. Flashing lights, a smoke machine that continuously clouds his view, he loses himself in Bronski Beat and temporary connections. He’s well aware that the two sides of his life aren’t balanced, that both are simply a means to run from something. But it works, for now.

Rowan’s sort of the “go to guy” for help, whether it’s fixing fences or lending an ear, the kind of guy that’s always there when you need him. Has a strong sense of duty towards the town. 

Your typical “Hometown Charmer”, he appears kind and approachable in public, greets everyone on the street, takes time to make chit chat with the cashiers, etc.

Likes to think he’s trusted in the community, especially older folks who live around the farms who’ve seen him grow up.

At night, when he lets the music + dance floor pull him into a trance, he’s a massive flirt. Usually shy during the day, he blossoms at night. Bit of a reputation of rarely going home alone.

Due to things in his past, Rowan has a certain mistrust of magic. Sometimes he's completely chill with it, sometimes he's suddenly anxious and makes sure to stay out of certain situations.

Personality: Grounded, empathetic, playfully charismatic. He has a wild side he carefully keeps compartmentalized, only letting it out when he feels he’s “earned it.”

MISC./HADCANONS I THOUGHT WERE CUTE

Names every cow on the farm and insists they have “distinct personalities” that only he understands.

Talks to the animals when no one is around, giving them advice like they’re his co-workers.

Absolutely cannot stand store-bought mint products—he says they taste "fake."

Hums or taps rhythms with his hands when idle.

Has a ritual of making himself a cup of spearmint tea and watching the sunrise every morning, no matter how early he has to wake up.

Can whistle a tune perfectly but refuses to admit he practices.

There’s a big, lazy barn cat who likes to sleep on warm hay bales. Rowan pretends he doesn’t care about the cat but secretly spoils it.

A rich, warm laugh that he uses to diffuse tension

WANTED CONNECTIONS SIBLING(S) - Both of his younger siblings have abandoned small town farm life the second the opportunity arose, and are presumably doing very well for themselves in a bigger city. Rowan probably doesn't keep in touch with them as often as he should - there's that weird sense of having been left behind that drove a wedge in their relationship. FARMHANDS - People that help out at the farm, could be a steady job, could be seasonal work, Rowan always welcomes help with open arms (actively breaking with his father's aversion to accepting it). Fun coworker dynamics! But on a farm! FRIENDS - Just your basic average friendly connections. Rowan is presumably well-liked around town, he's an approachable, laid-back guy and he always makes sure to take time to chat with someone when he comes into town. / Another version of this could be CLUB FRIENDS - Rowan likes to go dancing as a form of escapism, maybe at venues a little bigger outside of town, and since he's careful not to let his 'day personality' bleed into his 'night personality', he'd hang with a completely different crowd at night. FLING(S) - So, Rowan has sort of a reputation among people also frequenting nightlife venues, and that is that he rarely goes home alone. One beer in and he's more charming than he already is, the compliments flow freely (and he's a surprisingly good dancer, too). One thing leads to another - those encounters never last long or go emotionally deep, though. (Could be fun to explore a fling turning into something more though??) PLAYFUL RIVALRY - exactly what it says on the tin! Maybe someone from a neighbouring farm, maybe someone working at a place he delivers dairy or cherries to. They'd have likely grown up it Cardinal Hill, too - or it could be something new!

Good tourniquets save lives. Bad ones kill soldiers. The global market is awash with cheaply-made knock-offs: Handles that shear off under tension, rubber tubes that won’t tighten around a limb, devices that fail when they’re needed most. That’s why most armies buy in bulk from trusted suppliers. But Evgen Vorobiov prefers Amazon. Top of his Wish List at the moment are combat application tourniquets (CATs) from North American Rescue (five stars from 1,720 reviewers). Also on the list: burn dressings, compact chest seals, trauma shears and “The Original Rescue Essentials Brand QuikLitter”—a black canvas stretcher which promises low-cost casualty evacuation and patient transfer.

Before Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, Vorobiov, a lawyer, worked for the Ukrainian central bank and then on international projects trying to reform Ukraine’s financial system—“banking regulations, consumer protection, that kind of thing.” But, with Russian troops massing on Ukraine’s borders, he took some courses in tactical medicine, hoping to make himself useful if the worst happened. It did.

The Ukrainian army, dwarfed by its opponent, was supposed to collapse in days. But remarkably, it held the line, bolstered by a huge wave of volunteers and reservists. Trucks filled with Kalashnikov rifles drove into Kyiv’s neighborhoods and handed out weapons to anyone who wanted to join the fight. Engaged in constant combat for days on end, the armed forces quickly ran short of supplies. Vorobiov, with his basic knowledge of combat medicine, started reaching out to anyone he knew overseas who could help find CAT tourniquets, trauma bandages, chest seals and other lifesaving equipment. He and a couple of colleagues sourced gear from the UK, US, and the Netherlands and got it to Poland. Anyone they knew coming back to Ukraine via Poland was asked to bring bags of supplies, forming “a human chain” stretching from Europe to the frontline.

Eighteen months on, his operation has blossomed. Vorobiov’s intimate understanding of Ukrainian bureaucracy means he’s been particularly effective at getting sensitive shipments over the border, making him a focal point for other donors. He’s built a potent fundraising operation on social media, tapping into an international community of supporters to raise money and find supplies. And, by driving back and forth across Ukraine, delivering right into the hands of combat medics, he’s forged relationships with units who can tell him exactly what they need and when, creating a personalized military logistics operation from his living room in downtown Kyiv. In May, Vorobiov got a call from a medic working at a makeshift field hospital close to Bakhmut, the burned-out ruin of a town that was a bloody pivot point for the frontline in the first half of 2023. They were in desperate need of a portable ultrasound machine to scan casualties for internal injuries. Vorobiov tapped his network for money, and found a secondhand device in Poland for $3,400. When we meet, it’s sitting in his apartment waiting to go east, and he’s turned his attention to getting hold of a portable charging unit for a defibrillator. Soldiers ask for everything: Drones for artillery and reconnaissance units, portable generators, Starlink satellite internet terminals, 4x4s, the things they need to keep them online and alive, which are often the same thing in a war defined by the use of technology on the frontline.

For decades, Ukrainian civil society has been built horizontally. Rather than rely on government agencies for help, people have leant on personal connections—everyone knows someone who knows someone who can get what you need, help you out. This parallel state has been providing vital aid in eastern Ukraine since Russian proxies invaded in 2014. Since the full-scale invasion began it’s become super-charged, using social media and messaging platforms to go global. Vorobiov is just one link in a relay of money, supplies, innovations, and solidarity that is keeping Ukraine’s soldiers in the fight.

The Front Line Kitchen occupies a few cramped ground-floor rooms and a shed off a sloping street on the edge of Lviv’s picturesque old town. In the courtyard, volunteer cooks peel mountains of potatoes and beets among the organized chaos of plastic vegetable crates, cardboard boxes and IKEA bags overflowing with baked goods. Inside, fridge-sized dryers are filled with shredded vegetables, meat and mushrooms, waiting to go into vacuum-sealed ration packs.

The kitchen started years before the full-scale invasion, in the aftermath of the “Euromaidan” demonstrations and “Revolution of Dignity” in late 2013 and early 2014. Protests against the Kremlin-backed government of Viktor Yanukovich in Kyiv’s Independence Square—Maidan Nezalezhnosti—were met with a bloody crackdown by security forces. As the violence escalated, protesters formed self-defense forces and medical units, repelling assaults and even storming government buildings. In February 2014, Yanukovich fled Kyiv. Days later, Russia illegally annexed Crimea, and its proxies seized government buildings in Donetsk and Luhansk in the east of Ukraine, declaring themselves independent of Ukraine. They met little formal resistance: Under Yanukovich, Ukraine’s armed forces and intelligence agencies had been gutted.

That spring, Ukraine raised volunteer battalions, some directly linked to the self-defense units formed in Maidan. They were still ill-equipped, so they came to rely on other volunteers to supply them with basics—food, uniforms, medicines, vehicles—even weaponry. “The volunteers essentially replaced the function of the government for supplying the necessary resources,” says Roman Makukhin, a member of the National Interests Advocacy Network, a Kyiv-based NGO. “Protecting basically their neighbors, their friends, their brothers and sons.”

Oksana Mazar and Lyuda Kuvayskova, the Front Line Kitchen’s founders, met sewing camouflage nets and balaclavas for the volunteer detachments. Many of their friends, and Kuvayskova’s son, had been at Maidan. “The war had started, even if it wasn’t talked about like it’s a war,” Mazar says. “We just wanted to help, as the guys didn't have anything. No clothes, no shoes, and no food—because it was not [officially] a war.”

They started cooking meals for soldiers, experimenting with ways to turn home-made borscht and holubtsi (cabbage rolls) into ration packs that would survive the 1,000-kilometer journey to the Donbass, usually in the back of cars or trucks after being handed over to anyone heading that way. The cooks worked in small batches, drying food in friends’ kitchens, before they were gifted their current premises. They raised enough money to buy their own dryers, and gradually expanded. After the full-scale invasion began, the kitchen’s front yard was filled with volunteers and people bringing supplies. “They knew that we were doing food for the military, and they wanted to help,” Mazar says.

With 1 million Ukrainians mobilized to fight the Russians, the need has grown massively. The kitchen is now putting out 20,000 meals a day, sending truckloads of food east, and taking orders direct from the military. To scale up they’ve relied on donations, often sourced via the @frontlinekit Twitter account. The account is run by Richard Woodruff, who came to Ukraine from the UK early in the war, intending to join one of the international brigades in the Ukrainian army, despite having no military training. After seeing footage of the ferocious defense of Kyiv, “I kind of rethought my chances of survival,” he says. Instead, he arrived at Lviv train station a few weeks after the full scale invasion began, and soon found his way to the kitchen.

If the 1991 Gulf War was the first major conflict broadcast live on TV, the defense of Ukraine is the first full-scale interstate conflict to be shown in real time on Twitter. Ukrainians posted from the early hours of the invasion—air raid sirens sounding over a European capital in 2022; queues at the recruiting centers, calls for aid and statements of defiance. They recorded acts of insane valor, videoing themselves as they ambushed Russian columns with anti-tank missile launchers they’d barely been trained to use. Civilian drones pressed into service as surveillance tools provided a steady stream of high-definition footage made for phone screens, giving a gamer’s-eye view to the fighting. As Russian forces were pushed back, and the Ukrainian armed forces reclaimed land, the atrocities and scenes of destruction were shown live, along with poignant videos of liberating soldiers greeted by their ecstatic families. For those that wanted to see them, there were graphic videos: helmet cams showed firefights, drones dropping grenades on Russian soldiers and into the hatches of occupied vehicles.

Many of Ukraine’s new volunteers were “terminally online”—ordinary digital natives forced into a brutal conflict. Gen-Z recruits did dance videos for TikTok. Their meme game was wild. Woodruff’s Twitter bio reads “British Chef Fella”—a reference to the North Atlantic Fellas Organization, or NAFO—an online movement of Ukraine-supporting shitposters with shiba inu avatars who flood social media with memes mocking the “Vatniks” (Russian propagandists).

The NAFO movement taunted Russia, at one stage managing to send the country’s ambassador in Vienna into a public meltdown. “Imagine, literally getting a world-class ambassador to speak with cartoon dogs on Twitter,” says Ivana Stradner, an adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank in Washington DC, an expert on misinformation and propaganda, and NAFO member. “This is the future of information warfare.”

NAFO does what state-backed information warriors, particularly those from democracies, can’t do. Its members make insane, often tasteless jokes, moving quickly to jump on trends. They’re good at memes, and flood the zone with infectious pro-Ukrainian vibes, humanizing, entertaining, and explaining to people far from the war why they should care. “I think NAFO, by boosting certain narratives, can actually also help people understand the severity of the situation and what's going on there,” Stradner says.

NAFO has helped raise millions of dollars through sales of merchandise (“I invaded Belgorod and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”) and crowdfunding campaigns. Now its avatars appear on the Twitter profiles of European politicians, on official Ukrainian defense channels, and on military equipment headed to the front. It has funded everything from food to medical supplies to a mobile artillery piece to the Georgian Legion, a unit of overseas volunteers that has been fighting since 2014. When the Frontline Kitchen’s vegetable shredder broke, Woodruff put out a call for funds to buy a new one. In the time it took him to drive to the supplier, the money had already been deposited in his account.

Social media works in tandem with the tight networks of Ukrainian society. This is a war being fought close to home—everyone knows someone at the front, and the soldiers are in constant contact. Link people like Vorobiov can connect those in the trenches with supporters in Kyiv or overseas. A unit under fire can ask for drones on Telegram, and within hours there’s a call for donations out on Twitter or Instagram. Vorobiov can deliver tourniquets to a combat medic near the front, and record a thank-you video to send directly to donors.

“I see a spike in donations when there is a story that I can tell of how donations help,” Vorobiov says. “Yesterday, I received a very long message from one of the medics, and she was telling me how medical supplies we brought to her helped her basically provide care to two servicemen. I posted that story on Twitter and folks started to donate.”

Sometimes, donors become more active participants. Last February, Polish filmmaker Maciej Zabojszcz was watching the conflict unfold over Twitter, and thinking about selling some of his military memorabilia to help raise money for a 4x4 for the Ukrainian army. But then, a graphic video emerged, apparently shot by Russian soldiers, of a Ukrainian prisoner of war being horrifically mutilated. “I felt like something changed,” he says. “I said, listen, let's not only buy one car.”

In the spring of 2022 he drove his first vehicle, a Nissan pickup, to Kyiv to deliver to the Georgian Legion. While there, he met Vorobiov, who was collecting some drones from Exen, another Polish volunteer. From then on, Zabojszcz was part of the network. Because they couldn’t order supplies online to be delivered to Ukraine, Vorobiov and others started putting Zabojszcz’s home as the delivery address. Each time he drives a car to Ukraine, he’s carrying helmets, body armor, drones, all kinds of medical supplies. When we met in March in Warsaw, he’d delivered seven 4x4s, and was fixing up an eighth.

Some Ukrainian units have a tradition of naming their vehicles, and the seventh car that Zabojszcz delivered, a Land Rover, was christened Mathilda. It was used to shuttle men from their barracks to the frontline through thick mud. “The whole unit was driving the car,” Zabojszcz says. “They were crazy about Mathilda.”

But after ten days of constant driving, Mathilda broke down. Another Polish volunteer found a local mechanic specialized in Land Rovers. They arranged an online consultation. The mechanic helped the soldiers figure out what was wrong and identify the part they needed to replace. The car broke on Monday. On Tuesday, a volunteer delivered the replacement part. “And on Thursday the car was fixed,” Zabojszcz says. “This is how this network works.”

Absorbing donations has required a degree of flexibility from the military establishment. Armies typically don’t like amateurs pitching in, turning up in warzones with stuff they’ve brought from home. Getting goods into Ukraine can be challenging—it’s understandably not legal for just anyone to move military equipment across borders—and even bringing in theoretically civilian items like cars, consumer drones, and generators requires customs forms and other paperwork. But volunteers say once they’ve got donations into the country, working with the military has been fairly easy. There’s still some admin, and donors have to have forms showing that the goods they’re delivering have been specifically asked for by a soldier, but mostly, they’ve integrated relatively seamlessly with the supply chains, with commanders on the ground sometimes turning a blind eye to help their soldiers get what they need.

This acceptance is driven partly by necessity—the military simply couldn’t supply its troops to the level it needed, and unlike its adversary, doesn’t want to send them into battle with tourniquets that snap under pressure and rations years past their expiration date. Volunteer networks can take orders, source, and deliver in a way that a centralized bureaucracy can’t. They’ve helped feed the battlefield innovations that have given outnumbered soldiers an edge, linking into the networks of workshops jury-rigging consumer drones; bringing 3D printers to the frontline to help turn hand grenades into air-dropped bombs.

“For the chaotic time after the invasion, these organizations created a stopgap solution for markets that the army could not operate,” says Simon Schlegel, senior Ukraine analyst at the Crisis Group think tank. “The army is good at buying in bulk, but these smaller operations are good at finding five pieces of Chinese-made drones in different countries and shipping them to Ukraine.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy understands this. He has, since the early days of the conflict, often made his social media addresses direct to citizens of other countries, not just to his fellow leaders. Volunteers—and the state’s own propagandists—have built a formidable ground game on social media, which has helped with donations, but also contributed to the ratcheting up of material being sent to the frontline by NATO partners. With public support for Ukraine high in their own countries, western leaders feel emboldened to hand over money and weapons. When those weapons deliver battlefield successes, the resulting content feeds back into the loop. “I think Ukraine is literally right now the superpower in this information war,” says Stradner.

The war, as seen through the filter of social media, has an oddly gamified quality. At times it seems it’s being won by jokes, by Ukrainian farmers pulling tanks behind tractors, by “Saint Javelin” (the “patron saint” of anti-tank missiles), and shiba inu soldiers. But it hasn’t been won yet, and many people at the far end of the volunteer supply chain have taken incredible risks, and exposed themselves to unspeakable horrors. In Lviv, I met Ernest Polanski, a Ukrainian volunteer taking a brief rest on his way back from delivering equipment to troops near Bakhmut.

What he saw there, he says, was “hell.” There was constant shelling, and the smell of corpses hung over the area. Whenever the bombardment stopped for longer than a few minutes, he wondered if something worse was about to come, “like a nuclear bomb,” he says. On the way back, he rescued three bedraggled kittens from the ruins.

Polanski has been driving back and forth from the frontlines since the early days of the war, and has lost count of the number of journeys he’s made, bringing generators, trench periscopes, medical gear and other supplies. Like other volunteers, he’s formed a special connection with a single unit, which he devotes most of his journeys to. He’s currently looking for €6,000 ($6,480) to buy new wheels for one of the unit’s 4x4s. “Not a lot of people want to go to this area,” he says. “But we have a special friendship with [this unit], and we want to help.”

The volunteer networks are made up of people from all over the world, but outside of Ukraine itself the cause has resonated more than anywhere in former Soviet nations, and in particular Baltic states like Lithuania, which see themselves as next in line if Ukraine falls. Traveling with Polanski on this journey to the front is one of his most committed supporters, the Lithuanian kickboxing champion Sergej Maslobojev. “Our country had the same problem years ago,” he says. “We feel their pain in our hearts.”

Maslobojev’s profile at home has meant he’s been able to fundraise for supplies, but, he says, it’s important for him to get out into the field to witness, and show the sacrifices still being made in the trenches of eastern and southern Ukraine. “When we listen to our news, usually we’re thinking that they're winning the war. Everything is going great. Why do we need to donate?” he says. “But when you go to the frontline and help those military guys, give them ammunition, extra food and the stuff that they really need. And they look at you with almost tears in their eyes and say, ‘nobody comes to us’. And then you understand why, in this moment.”

The day after Polanski and Maslobojev returned from Bakhmut, reports came through that the town had finally fallen. Individual defeats are hard to talk about in the context of fundraising campaigns and propaganda drives that are buoyed by a sense of inevitable victory. But they also underline the fragility of life close to the front. Almost all of the volunteers I spoke to in Ukraine had their own story of raising funds, or sourcing gear, only for the intended recipient to fall in battle before it could be delivered. All that does is make them more committed. Most say their supporters are also holding the line, a year and a half into the war.

“Sometimes it feels like this continuing western support is contingent on possible breakthroughs and huge victories. But I don't feel that, at least among my donors,” Vorobiov says. “You cannot afford hopelessness, because no one is going to support a lost cause. And we Ukrainians believe in winning this war. We have to infect others with that belief. But complacency is equally dangerous.”

okay, did some research because the cheese dispensers at work keep bothering me so bad that I can't help but make some silly comments about them at rush hour when they keep dripping all over the place because they're kinda broken

turns out. the manufacturer specifies a certain type of cheese bag to be used with this kind of machine and my place of work doesn't really do that? it's slightly different. also the variation in prices depending on which shop you look at... if you buy directly from the American supplier, it's around $560 to $600 per machine. but the cinema is in germany so we gotta rely on import companies specialising in concessions supplies and of course that doubles the prices so it'll be around 1.000€ per machine. which is an entire month's pay in my case

I joked to a coworker if I knew how expensive these machines were I'd buy my own (but left out the part that I'd bring it to work to replace the kinda broken machines we were lent from suppliers) and tbh knowing that it's around 1k per machine I'd be crazy enough to spend 2k for 2 machines just so we'd have new/properly working machines at work

anyway. I should just shut my trap about the cheese tbh I don't wanna have my words get twisted again and be retold to my boss and then get another stern talking to and get fired... but my stupid brain just can't help it ugh... stupid stupid stupid.

it's just that stupid cheese permanently dripping out of the machine and whatever we try to do to minimise the mess, it's still not perfect and the cheese just gets everywhere... and it's just so irritating during rush hours, especially around the holidays. I should just be glad we have cheese dispensers at all... I remember the time when one of them was totally borked, we couldn't fix it or get a replacement in time and I had to squeeze the hot cheese outta the bag by hand for a couple weeks. just glad I can't really feel heat or cold with my hands as well as the average human most times so I could deal with it but it was hell for my other coworkers.

I'm really wondering how common the issues with this type of cheese dispenser are tho... because it always seems to be the rotating dispensing system that breaks eventually. because we've got two of these machines now, one of them our own and one is lent from a company (same model) but they're both kinda borked at this rotating part that controls the cheese flow...

ugh I'm getting way too into this bullshit I should just shut up about it and avoid conflict.....

but the dripping cheese making a mess everywhere................. driving me insane, making me obsess over it aughhhhh

Starting Your Embroidery Business with the Right Supplies

Starting an embroidery business requires careful consideration of the equipment and supplies needed to produce high-quality work efficiently. For anyone looking to dive into the world of embroidery, one of the most essential pieces of equipment is the embroidery machine.

But which machine and what embroidery supplies do you need as a professional embroiderer starting a business? Let’s look at the following materials that you should consider, including the right embroidery machine for a business that you want to grow.

Embroidery Machines

At the heart of any embroidery operation is the machine itself. There are embroidery only machines, and often many hobbyists and budding entrepreneurs consider the Brother brand embroidery only models, due to its user-friendly design and versatility.

However, it’s important to note that some models serve well for smaller projects, but they may not be the best fit for a full-scale embroidery business. This may be due to limitations such as being a single-needle machine.

If you plan to accept large orders or projects, a multi-needle machine that allows for simultaneous stitching of multiple colors and designs should be your best choice. If you purchase a single-needle machine, remember that it requires changing threads for each color in a design, which can be time-consuming.

For those serious about starting a business, investing in a multi-needle embroidery machine might be more beneficial. These machines range from seven to twelve needles and can handle various colors simultaneously, greatly increasing productivity.

They allow businesses to stitch multiple items at once, making them an efficient choice for high-demand environments. Although these machines come at a higher initial cost, their ability to run continuously and produce higher volumes can justify the investment over time.

Digitizing Software

Another crucial aspect of starting an embroidery business is the digitizing software. This software is essential for converting images into embroidery files compatible with machines. The process requires specialized knowledge and skills, as designs must be carefully digitized to ensure they stitch out correctly without issues.

While software costs can be high—often exceeding $1,000—some businesses opt to outsource digitizing or purchase pre-made designs. However, when choosing ready-made designs, it’s vital to check usage licenses to ensure that they permit commercial use. Copyright laws protect intellectual property, meaning you cannot legally sell items that feature designs not owned or licensed by you.

Supplies and Materials

A successful embroidery business also needs a well-stocked inventory of embroidery supplies and materials, including the following:

Threads

High-quality embroidery threads are crucial for producing vibrant, durable designs. Professionals should invest in a variety of colors and types, including polyester and rayon threads, which are both popular for their strength and sheen.

Stabilizers

Stabilizers are essential to prevent fabric from puckering during the stitching process. Different types of stabilizers (tear-away, cut-away, and wash-away) serve various purposes, depending on the fabric type and the project requirements.

Needles

Using the correct needle type is important for different fabric types and thread weights. Professionals should have a range of needles on hand, including ballpoint needles for knits and sharp needles for woven fabrics.

Blanks

Having a stock of blank items to embroider on—such as shirts, hats, bags, and towels—is essential for a business. These should be sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure quality.

Embroidery Hoops

Various sizes of hoops are necessary to accommodate different designs and fabrics. A professional setup will often require multiple sizes to handle diverse projects.

Cleaning and Maintenance Supplies

Keeping your embroidery machine in top condition is crucial for longevity and performance. Regular cleaning supplies, oil, and maintenance tools should be readily available.

Start Your Business Right

Launching an embroidery business involves much more than simply acquiring a machine; it requires understanding the entire ecosystem of supplies necessary to operate efficiently and effectively.

Choose a machine that gives you the long-term benefits you need for success, and invest in multi-needle machines and comprehensive digitizing software for more substantial commercial endeavors.

With the right combination of machinery, software, and supplies, aspiring embroiderers can set the foundation for a successful business, producing high-quality, customized products that meet customer demands. Soon you will find that you are  on your way to establishing a thriving embroidery venture.

How Are FIBC Bags Made? A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Big Bag Manufacturing

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs), often referred to as big bags or bulk bags, are essential for industries requiring the safe transport and storage of dry, flowable materials such as grains, chemicals, or construction materials. Have you ever wondered how these indispensable bags are made? Let’s dive into the manufacturing process to understand the craftsmanship and technology behind these robust containers.

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

The primary material for FIBC bags is polypropylene (PP), a durable, lightweight, and recyclable thermoplastic. Polypropylene resin, often combined with additives for UV protection or color customization, serves as the foundation for manufacturing.

Step 2: Extrusion Process

The polypropylene resin is melted and extruded into long, thin tapes. These tapes are stretched and heat-treated to enhance their strength and durability. The quality of the tapes significantly influences the final bag’s load capacity and longevity.

Step 3: Weaving the Fabric

The tapes are woven into fabric using circular or flat weaving looms. This woven polypropylene fabric forms the main body of the bag. The tightness of the weave determines the bag’s ability to contain fine powders or granular materials without leakage.

Step 4: Cutting and Sewing

The woven fabric is cut into panels based on the desired size and shape of the FIBC. These panels are stitched together using industrial sewing machines. Depending on the design, features such as lifting loops, discharge spouts, or filling spouts are added during this stage.

Types of FIBC Bags

U-Panel Bags: Constructed using two side panels and a bottom panel.

Circular Bags: Made from tubular fabric to eliminate vertical seams.

Baffle Bags: Designed with internal panels to maintain a square shape when filled.

Step 5: Coating and Laminating (Optional)

For applications requiring moisture or dust resistance, the woven fabric may be laminated or coated with an additional layer of polypropylene. This step is especially common for bags used in industries handling fine powders or hygroscopic materials.

Step 6: Quality Testing

Every batch of FIBC bags undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure they meet industry standards and safety regulations. Tests include:

Load Testing: Ensuring the bag can handle its designated weight capacity.

UV Testing: Checking resistance to sunlight for prolonged outdoor use.

Leakage Testing: Assessing containment performance for fine materials.

Step 7: Packing and Distribution

Once the bags pass quality checks, they are folded, packed, and shipped to customers. Manufacturers often customize the packaging to suit specific client needs, whether supplying bags in bulk or as individual units.

Conclusion

From the careful selection of raw materials to rigorous quality testing, FIBC bag manufacturing is a meticulous process designed to ensure safety and reliability. The next time you see one of these big bags in action, you’ll know the level of craftsmanship and technology involved in its creation.

If you’re looking for a trusted FIBC bag manufacturer, understanding this process can help you make an informed choice. Always opt for suppliers who prioritize quality, sustainability, and innovation.

The Benefits of Choosing Direct to Film Transfers for Your Printing Needs

Direct to Film (DTF) transfers are revolutionizing the custom printing industry, offering businesses and individuals an efficient way to create vibrant, durable designs on various fabrics. Whether you're a business owner or a DIY enthusiast, understanding the benefits of DTF transfers can help you decide if this method is the right fit for your needs. This article explores what DTF transfers are, how they work, and why they stand out compared to other printing techniques.

What Are Direct to Film Transfers?

Direct to Film transfers are a printing method where designs are printed onto a specialized film using a DTF transfer printer. Once printed, these designs are transferred to fabric using heat, ensuring a vibrant and long-lasting print. Unlike traditional methods, DTF transfers can adhere to multiple fabric types, from cotton to synthetic blends, making them highly versatile. This adaptability makes DTF ideal for creating custom DTF transfers for t-shirts, bags, hats, and more.

Why DTF Transfers Are Important for Printing Businesses

Versatile Application on Multiple Fabrics One of the standout advantages of DTF transfers is their ability to print on various materials. Traditional methods, like screen printing, often limit you to specific fabric types. In contrast, direct to film transfers work well on cotton, polyester, blends, and even non-fabric surfaces, allowing for more creative freedom and product options. This versatility makes DTF an appealing choice for businesses that want to expand their product lines without switching to new equipment.

Durability and High-Quality Prints DTF transfers are known for their durability, ensuring that designs hold up well even after multiple washes. The heat transfer process embeds the ink into the fabric, resulting in prints that resist fading, cracking, and peeling. For customers who want vibrant, long-lasting colors, custom DTF transfers are an excellent solution. This durability is particularly beneficial for businesses aiming to provide products that maintain their quality over time, enhancing customer satisfaction.

Cost-Effective Production Direct to film transfers are highly cost-effective, especially for small to medium orders. DTF printing requires less setup than screen printing and is suitable for both small and bulk orders, making it an economical choice for businesses of all sizes. The DTF transfer printer itself is affordable compared to other high-end printing machines, allowing smaller businesses to enter the custom printing market with a relatively low investment.

Vibrant Colors and Fine Details DTF transfers excel at producing vivid colors and capturing fine design details, which is essential for creating visually appealing custom apparel. The printer technology allows for precise ink placement, ensuring that intricate designs and color gradients appear crisp and professional. For brands that prioritize detail and aesthetics, direct to film transfers are ideal.

Environmentally Friendly Many DTF inks are eco-friendly, making this printing method a sustainable choice. Additionally, DTF printing often results in less material waste compared to other methods, as there is no need for excess ink or extra materials in setup. For businesses and consumers prioritizing eco-conscious practices, DTF transfers provide a greener alternative in the printing industry.

How to Get Started with DTF Printing

If you're ready to explore DTF transfer printers for your business, start by researching suppliers who offer reliable equipment and quality inks. Investing in a high-quality printer will ensure that your custom DTF transfers meet the standards your customers expect. Training on best practices for using DTF printers and managing heat press settings can further enhance print quality and durability. Research Equipment NeedsYou’ll need a DTF printer, heat press, curing powder, and transfer film. Consider investing in a reliable DTF transfer printer for consistent results.

Learn the DTF ProcessThe process involves printing your design on the transfer film, applying a curing powder, heating to cure the design, and then pressing it onto fabric. Mastering each step ensures professional-quality results.

Experiment and PracticePracticing with various designs, color settings, and fabrics will help you perfect your DTF technique.

Consider Suppliers and Training Finding reputable suppliers for your equipment and materials is key. Many suppliers offer tutorials, and you can explore online communities for additional tips and guidance.

Conclusion

This printing method is ideal for businesses looking to expand their offerings in custom apparel and accessories without a high upfront cost. By adopting custom DTF transfers and a reliable DTF transfer printer, you can produce high-quality designs that leave a lasting impression on your customers, giving your business a competitive edge in the custom printing market.

Packaging Bags For Small Businesses: Best Suppliers In Indore

For small businesses looking to opt for a sustainable packaging solution, multiple considerations are involved. Industries that deal on small scales in particular sectors, like fertilizer packaging, can have significant benefits in ensuring transportation.

Packaging for any sector of industry plays a vital role in preserving their products and also ensuring that they reflect significant quality standards as well.

For more benefits and other aspects of packaging that are beneficial for small businesses, please read through the information below.

Why Should You Choose Specialized Packaging for Fertiliser, Chemicals or Cement?

Packaging sectors like agriculture, construction, and chemicals play a key role in maintaining product longevity. Fertilizers, cement and chemicals are often known to be associated with specific handling and storage requirements.

Thus, there is always a scourge for materials that can withstand moisture, dust, and rough handling as well. Take a simple example of a woven sack, which is a popular choice due to its strength and durability. Thus, it is one of the most popular choices, and it ensures durability and strength, which are applicable for bulk packaging of different materials as well.

In short, a proper packaging material is able to provide the following:

●  Enhanced longevity helps maintain proper packaging of materials and reduces product wastage.

●  Proper packaging is also known to safeguard the products from getting contaminated as well.

●  Durable packaging materials reflect a business's care for the quality of its products as well.

Thus, good packaging is not an obligation. Rather, it is a need for businesses, both small and big, to ensure proper product delivery. Chemical packaging bags or any other product bags are known to help transfer knowledge of your company’s existence to other users.

Types of Packaging Bags for Small Businesses

Small businesses are known to offer several packaging types to meet their needs. Some of them are:

Woven Sacks

These are highly durable materials, and they are applicable for bulk packing as well. Such bags are usually made from polypropylene and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios as well. Woven sacks are also popular for fertilizer packaging and cement bags as well. These bags are also eco-friendly and are known to provide reliable packaging solutions.

Bulk Bags (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers - FIBCs)

Bulk bags, or FIBCs, are designed for larger quantities of materials, and they are perfect for transporting powdered or granular products. These bags are also known to come with customizable loading and unloading options as well. They are known to reduce handling costs and allow quick loading and unloading options. These bags are particularly helpful as cement packaging bags as they are very helpful in transporting such products.

Laminated Bags

Laminated bags are known to provide a laminated layer, and they offer superior moisture resistance. The lamination ensures that contents remain dry and unspoiled, making these bags ideal for businesses that distribute products over long distances.

Conclusion

While a business is trying to find appropriate woven sacks or packaging materials for their business, it is essential to understand their requirements. There are multiple packaging options available to help transport your materials flawlessly. Choosing Airen International helps as they have the right solutions for every demand you have.
