given that antisemitism is over a thousand years old whereas left and right, as political appellations, only date back to 1789 i'm not sure these are two different species

Really hard to talk about that. Two years ago I couldn't go to sleep...

Early in the morning I heard the most terrifying noises that I ever heard in my life before. My brain refused to work, it was a feeling like a giant monster slowly moving to destroy our house.

Ground was shaking and I felt vibration in our windows... and I had no idea what to do because of shock.

I tried to wake my family up, few minutes I tried to remember how to use my phone and my body was trembled...

What happened next I can't even remember, I took my pajama and cat and tried to think about what to do next.

But my mind was to much shocked, it was to much, I even forgot how to talk for a while...

Then we tried to get to parent's house, than we decided to leave our city...Few weeks later we had to leave our country...

It was hard, incredibly hard, but me and my family were lucky enough to escape and find some safe place.

I thought that I have no moral right to argue because not all of people that I knew before had same luck.

One year later I understood that can't exist so far from my home and decided to come back.

I do not like to argue, or begging for help even if its really hard, or spreading unpleasant news. Really hate to spread bad news...

But me and my country still needs your help, we need your support we need to be heard because we still have to survive somehow.

If you have enough energy for helping, you can donate, share information or even write some words of support...

Every single word is matters, and I feel incredibly great gratitude to everyone who helped me and helped my country!

If my post found someone who has no idea what I'm talking about, they have the opportunity to find out by watching the film "20 Days in Mariupol"(full documentary). It is about a wonderful city in eastern Ukraine, which was completely destroyed:

In 4 days there would be another anniversary - 2 years since full-scale war with russia. I haven't posted a lot about war and in general here. Tumblr just doesn't feels right, I rarely go here to watch couple of aesthetic posts, but it does not make any sense now. And yet 10 years of war passed today. And I still see so much uneducated takes on this conflict. People around the world, left-leaning and radical left around the globe still think of this as a local proxy war of "american imperialism" and "russian anti-imperialism". You are right about america agenda, you may say the have geopolitical interests in this conflict and not just pure intentions or altruism. Thats not debatable. I would debate that so mane people don't even realise the level of atrocities committed by russians. Many still believe that images of Bucha are staged. Many still believe ukrainian forces destroyed Donbas in the last ten years. What a farce to read those takes for us, people of ukraine, for me personally, as I spent my first three days of russian invasion in the city of Kyiv, in my home (Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel are the suburbs of Kyiv).

This year ukrainian filmmakers compiled two important documentary films about those atrcities, committed by russians. One of them just earned two prizes on Berlin International Film Festival. And will run for Best Documentary nomination at this years Oscars.

Oscars mean nothing of course, its not a merit of truth. The merrit of truth are those films themselves. The documentary material they present. Award run is just an opportunity for more people outside of Ukraine to see those films. And I beg you to see it. I will tell about them in the next post. Its damn time for world to see this, for those blinded by russian propaganda especially. Photo by Evgeniy Maloletka. From the exhumation of mass graves in Kharkiv region. Dozens of civilian ukrainians killed by russian forces in 2022.

I'm sorry. You were trying to help me understand. No, I actually wanted to hurt you. Couldn't bear to see such dumb, beautiful happiness in someone.

You took my childhood. You took my choices and tried to break me. But you’re never gonna do that to anybody ever again.
