Kyiv tomorrow:
rolling power outages –
7 hours without electricity,
3.5 hours with it.
Then repeat.

Just a reminder for the world of what russia does.

Greetings from Kyiv.

Ukraine was under a massive russian attack last night.
The target was critical infrastructure.
No power at home (rolling outages).

So, warcoffee time

After midnight in Kyiv.
The siren is crying.
Everything’s charged in case of another attack.

What kind of demonic ritual do russians have on Fridays?
They usually choose this night for attacks.

Today’s Christmas tree is on Kontraktova Square in Kyiv –
right beside the Ferris wheel.

Air raid alert.
Drones.
Missile threat – maybe even tonight.

Nothing new, actually.

Greetings from Kyiv.

Today I’m at the railway station,
visiting this Christmas beauty.

I want the world to see our marvellous resilience.

Explosions in Kyiv.
We’re under attack.

What else to say?
I charged everything,
edited photos – just in case I don’t get another chance (sorry, dark humour)

Greetings from Kyiv.

Sweet Victory (still a cat) is here to remind you of kindness and cuteness.
She’s also glad to have you all.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Soon midnight in Kyiv.
No power,
but I promised myself not to complain – we must show resilience now.
Calm.
Generously dark outside.

One day at a time.

I can’t speak for others,
but the current situation in Ukraine (severe attacks, almost no power)
won’t break me or make me accept
any ridiculous ‘peace’ (capitulation) deal.

Yes, I’m not a decision-maker.
Just saying.

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.

Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.

Take that shit to court!

Kyiv, Sophia Square today.
The annual “Empty Chairs” event –
in support of journalists, writers, and cultural figures
missing, imprisoned, or held captive
because of russia’s war against Ukraine.

I was there. I want the world to see.

A hard night in Kyiv.
We’re under massive attack.

The mayor reports damage across the city.
It feels like being trapped inside a strange game –
only this game is reality.

A spoon of electricity –
that’s what I can say about today in Kyiv.

Power outages are long.
But, as I once said, I try to do regular things during them
(well, the ones I can).

Life goes on,
just often in darkness.

A calm night in Kyiv.
The war forecast doesn’t predict any massive attack –
just drones,
those annoying flies
that cause so much damage.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the night was mostly calm.
I’m having a warcoffee after my workout
and reading the news.

In the past seven days,
1,206 of 1,402 drones launched at Ukraine were shot down or lost –
86% in total, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt welcomed all visitors to the White House.

That must have kept this administration up nights until they could knock it down. To build a ballroom we can't afford, during a shutdown, for a president who just posted himself dropping shit on the country.

Big news out of Indiana today as Republican legislators surprise everyone by saying no to Donald Trump.

Each crack in Trump’s facade of inevitability will lead to more. Let’s keep it up!
