Mistigram: a year ago Russia resumed moving military units into Ukraine, with intent to quickly finish the job they had started nine years ago when they annexed the Crimea, but one can safely say that this time around they encountered stiffer resistance than they were expecting. Cthulu is a pacifist whose position is always that war is the worst solution to a problem that should have been solved any different way, but of course people do not always get the choice of opting into the war in which they find themselves: defending yourself from invaders isn't war, it's survival. With hope that the situation wouldn't immediately escalate to a test range for the world's biggest defense contractors deploying their heaviest arms and turning the country into a muddy, corpse-filled trench that glows in the dark, he thought back to this 1924 antiwar image by #KatheKollwitz, now a year shy of a century old, and reproduced it using #ANSIart blocks.

Mistigram: PixelDud drew this mocked-up #Neofetch #ASCIIart screen, which "displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way", to describe the specs of his fantasy computer, running the #PixOS operating system at https://github.com/pixos . It was included in the MIST0222 artpack collection released one year ago this month.

Mistigram: was there anything else going on in America today? This was the only worthwhile event of any real importance: #MartinLutherKingDay takes place on the third Monday of January to remember the achievements of the martyred nonviolent #CivilRights activist Dr #MartinLutherKingJr. This monochrome #teletext portrait was drawn by @Horsenburger and included in the MIST0222 artpack collection released three years ago.

Mistigram: no sooner had the boots of the Russian army soldiers hit #Ukraine dirt than accounts of the most incredible badassery from the defenders began flooding social media -- the reply of the defenders of Snake Island when invited to surrender made way for the baba who invited invading soldiers to put sunflowers in their pockets, that the rotting of their stinking corpses in Ukrainian soil might result in one positive outcome: a beautiful field of flowers. Some artists rooted for the underdog from afar: this #teletext screen depicts Ukraine's coat of arms, a #trident (#tryzub) against a blue shield, the seal of #VolodymyrTheGreat, the first Grand Prince of Kyiv. This screen was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the MIST0222 artpack collection released one year ago this month. #SlavaUkraini #HeroiamSlava!
