Sometimes when I’m having a bad day I need to remind myself that; I’m here. I’m still kicking, and I’m still gonna be kicking tomorrow.. and that has to count for something
Today is both vyshyvanka day and the remembrance day of the Crimean tartar genocide. I think this is poetic in that way of being unable to escape the tragedy of Ukraine even on a day of pride and unity. It’s like a haunting reminder that no matter what happens, there’s no way to separate horror and honor - tradegy and triumph - Ukraine has become synonymous with the kind of pride that stings.
So here’s your reminder:
Crimea is Ukraine
Russia committed genocide against the tartar people then AND now
The war is not over until Russia is out of the country.
З Днем Вишиванки мої друзі - не забудь Україна 💙💛🇺🇦🌻
