#russian bombing

[herukapadmajungiansworld]

My beloved city, we will definitely endure💙💛The last few days have been the toughest nights of the entire war. The aggressors have attacked us with missiles and Shaheed. I feel such a mixture of pain and pride for our people.

Last night,

my niece stayed over,

and when the explosions began,

I hesitated to wake the child.

I sat on the floor next to her bed, prepared to shield her with my body if needed.

The attacks intensified, and eventually,

I had to wake her up.

My dog ❤️ lay at our feet,

we all sat on the floor together,

hoping for God's protection 🙏 and relying on our Ukrainian Air Defense💙💛.

You know, after such nights, my questions are not directed at God, nor at ordinary people, or even the aggressors.

My one question is for the world leaders: why do you say that we cannot use Western weapons to attack russians territory ?

⭐Do you consider the lives of our people less valuable?

⭐ Have you ever shielded your children with your own body?

⭐Why has everyone forgotten about Kherson, Bucha, Mariupol?

⭐Why isn't the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant equally terrifying?

After such sleepless nights for our children, 💥we have every right to wipe the kremlin off the face of the earth. 💥

I feel the pain for our people, but we are not broken 💪 .

We continue to move forward.

There's still champagne in the fridge that I will open on Victory Day.

I love you, my city❤️you are our fortress, you give us strength🫶

It's been wild watching how far russia is willing to go to justify the genocide in Ukraine. They are willing to use the tragedy and the cold dead bodies of their own civilians to explain why they are killing us. They aren't even good at lying, but somehow it's always enough to make someone believe.

At first they said the terrorists arrived in a car with ukrainian license plates. Then disproved it. They said the terrorists were moving towards the Belarusian border. Then quickly changed that version to the Ukrainian border instead. Apparently, the citizens of Tajikistan recruited by ISIS worked for Ukraine. When putin shits his pants, it's because the Ukrainians forced him to.

Not even a few hours had passed before the russians got to writing on the shells with which they bomb Ukraine that this is their revenge for the Moscow's Crocus Hall. "To the pigs (that's what they call us) for the Crocus Hall"

This is not surprising in the slightest. But it is still wild to see. Russian society is sick. There is nothing sacred for them. No empathy even for their own. No respect for the victims. Everything revolves around one goal: to justify their hatred and their crimes.

#watching videos of the shooting i realized i do not yet hate the russians as much as i'd like to #despite everything they are doing to us #despite my area being bombed the same night that happened #russian propaganda #war in ukraine #ukraine

And the world kept turning

He was lying on his back looking at the sky. Grey clouds drifted somewhere beyond the horizon, their edges murky and pulsing in time with the blue blood that flowed away from him. He could feel the snow on his neck, caught by the collar of his jacket as he fell, powerless, to the ground covered with a thin layer of white. The snow had already begun to melt, sticking his silver hair into strands and sending almost imperceptible blue waves across his exosuit. The warmth was leaving him.

One by one he turned off the danger alerts, turned off the beacon. Turned off the comms. The red spots of warnings in front of his eyes disappeared, grayness flooded his entire field of vision. Slowly he took his hand away from his pierced side, letting it fall beside him. The bleeding was easing.

Something small and cold touched his cheek. He closed his eyes for a second and didn't open them for a minute.

Two minutes.

Then he looked up.

Snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky.

There was no one around. Just the sky, the snow, and him, soon to be just as cold. It did not bother him.

Snowflakes had already stuck to his eyelashes, small drops were running down his face, tangled in the fur on his jacket. He couldn't see it, but the snow beneath him had turned blue. Warm. Cerulean streaks widened, penetrating deeper into the ground, small rivers stubbornly making their way between the transparent crystals. Running away from him.

A crack passed through his face with a quiet crunch. It didn't hurt anymore - his whole body was numb, unable to sustain life any longer. He accepted it, lazily watching the clouds as they began to blur. Something other than melt water ran down his cheeks.

He was alone

He didn't care.

just saw a tiktok comment about how "putin isnt causing a genocide, he wants to have ukraine back, not gone" and i got so angry i almost blacked out

#i started an actual argument on tiktok. worst day of my life #what would you call the systematic slaughter and replacement of ukrainians #bombing and killing civilians #taking away ukranian children and enforcing ukranians to speak russian or die #already sending russians to live in razed ukranian territories #what is that? summer camp? #tbd i think

“America first” indeed.

Bad when America does it, ❤️ when Russia does it.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to do a quick double take to see if it was a tankie or a rightwing Republican talking. If you examine it and listen closely, it’s really amazing how much their rhetoric overlaps. Sometimes the Venn diagram is just a big ole circle, which isn’t surprising because both parties care about the suffering of others ONLY if they like the people being harmed. Otherwise it’s cool indifference or worse, because they’re good with authoritarianism, imperialism and colonialism, because “communism” ☭ or some such bullshit. Completely morally and intellectually inconsistent with the beliefs they espouse.

Indistinguishable from conservative rhetoric.

#politics #ukraine #russia #tankies #authoritarians #russian imperialism #russia is a terrorist state #russian invasion of ukraine #russian colonialism #authoritarianism #russian fascism ☭ #i would say its horseshoe therory #except tankies arent actually in the real left #they are just ‘adults’ whose political growth was stunted at ☭ #if somehow there was a resolution to bomb israel watch how fast the logic would change #they would tell americans to starve to death until afterwards #and this isnt me defending the terrorist state of israel #im just pointing out the hypocrisy

🔞Tonight (02/03/2024) in Odesa🇺🇦, russian fascists, inhumans, barbarians, terrorists, with the help of drones sent from Iran, killed 7 people, including a mother and her 3 a three-year-old boy.🤬

russians, burn in hell!!

The drone attack in russia is getting more attention in the news than the attack of the russians on Odesa in Ukraine 🙃.

Attacks by the russians are becoming less "newsworthy" to the Western media. The attention to the horrible things that are happening in Ukraine every day is slowly slipping away.

#this is mostly about dutch news but I am sure something similar is happening in some other countries #attacks on russian soil is seen as something newsworthy #but attacks on Ukrainian cities are being seen in the West as “just another bombing” #it's being normalized almost? if that's the right word for it? #but it never should be #we shouldn't forget how horrible those bombings by the russians are #we shouldn't forget the suffering #Ukraine #russia #war #russian invasion #russia is a terrorist state

I've been thinking about this while making sandwiches for the last like 10 minutes and i feel like i should just get it out somewhere

(*please* tell me if this needs trigger warnings)

i just played buckshot roulette a little while ago and first off, great game, another one of those rare games that come in randomly and create a conversation a hundred times bigger than the game itself, and in this case, deservedly so! i especially liked the tension of pulling the trigger of a shotgun on yourself *point blank*, it is immense, as it should be, and the best part is that it never gets any easier no matter how many times you end up shooting yourself. but that's not really my point with this post.

the point i wanna make is the response I've seen only once but that worried me a lot nevertheless.

mike klubnika, the creator of buckshot roulette (and a few other great games) is russian. and i am ukrainian. now, i personally dont have a problem with mike just because of that, i know better than to blindly hate people because they're 'the other', plus his games outside of roulette almost universally have themes of resisting authority, and somehow i feel that was not born out of nowhere. which is to say i dont think he's a fan of the Current World Event going on between our countries. (needless to say, i'm also having a fucking terrible time living in war, and am not a huge fan of being invaded by russia. i'm only adding this because this is the No Reading Comprehension website.)

despite that, not too long ago, in a ukrainian art server i joined i saw an offhand comment from one user on someone else's piece of buckshot roulette fanart that worried me instantly, (and that was before i ever really bothered to play BR or look into mike's previous games, so it worries me even more now that i know more about the dev!). the comment went something like 'wow i love the game a lot, but the creator is RUSSIAN >:(' which, yeah that is, again, an offhand comment which didnt have much thought put into it, so why am i getting so worked up about it? because it is kind of indicative of the fact that said person only really hates the creator *because he's THE OTHER.* if they bothered to look into just his itch io page and think about any of the games which are not BR, they might have found that hey, they seem to universally have a message i agree with and one of the games just straight up all but screams 'WAR BAD.'

all that to say, i feel like recently, nationalism has been on a steady rise in ukraine. obviously there is a good reason to be upset, very much so, but going down the road of blind hate is terrible, and only leads to where russia is today - a country ruled over by a senile old man, who blindly hates the country neighboring his own, and who successfully tricked most of his own people into doing the same. that tiny little offhand comment isnt the only one that i've seen that showcases this kind of nationalism but it might be one of the most blind and stupid cases.

tldr: nationalism is on the rise in ukraine and i'm afraid

#kris rambling #buckshot roulette #now to add onto this: there is very much a conversation to be had about how a lot of people in ukraine consume russian media #which generates profit for russia which they then send over to us in the form of bombs. #however. #an indie gamedev who asks a measly 1 dollar 20 cents for his game is not the problem here. #the real problem is giant media corporations that produce the vast majority of said profit.

#oh the feeling when you come back from your neighbor's funeral #who was killed by russians on the front line with a phosphorus bomb which are prohibited to be used in the whole world #and then you go on the internet and see westerners saying how PRIVILEGED you are #that what is happening in Ukraine isn't a genocide #apparently because slavs are mostly white huh? #even though russians said countless times they're ready to kill millions of ukrainians #westerners' commentary about how the mass graves and torture chambers on photos aren't real #that russian soldiers don't rape ukrainian women #that oRdinArY rUssiAnS that laugh at photos of ukrainian children's corpses are not guilty #because it's just “putin's war” #and that Ukraine should just blow up so the west could enjoy Dostoevsky and Tolstoy in peace #i always try to be strong and rational #but more and more often i feel like i can't do this anymore

[youcouldstartacult]

this is crazy

#taylor had a huge year no one can deny that #but it’s wild how the russian invasion of ukraine is so easily comprehended #while the israeli genocide on palestine is so ‘complex’ and so many people ‘don’t understand it’ #palestinians have been single handedly saving their families lives and rebuilding their population #standing in the face of bombs and poison!!!!!!! #how are they not immortalized the same way

[gurorori]

haha oh no im definitely not at all disturbed by the prevalence of leftists on all platforms who are loudly 'anti-genocide' when it comes to the palestinian cause (and a couple others at best :3c) yet the only time ukraine [ʊkrɐˈjinɐ] leaves their mouths is in critique, in stark comparison to the former or in complaint about their (american) government sending aid.

at first what i saw often was pointing out the differences in western media framing [ukraine vs palestine], and that's fair (until the words and the agenda of western journalists are used to paint, as a whole, ukrainians who have been actively going through genocide as some kind of white supremacists hogging the blanket of global attention when they kinda just want to live and have the rights to their own land, culture, names and families)

but no one is even caring to do that anymore, today bitches just invent metaphorical scenarios and people to get mad at and to throw an entire ethnos away because wahhhh i decided that you care for X but not for Y!!!.... all while doing the exact thing they are condemning. the exact absolute same and they don't even hide it but do lack the self-awareness to realise

#'ohh i saw white people still go out to rally for ukraine' yeah have you considered they are ukrainian or have ukrainian loved ones or uh #simply have humanity in their heart to care about several humanitarian tragedies in the world? #this is both aimed at a post i saw on here and at SEVERAL. MANY. twitterians with a thousand palestine flags all over their accounts spewing #misinformation hate and sometimes straight up russian propaganda tactics because they're this fucking insane #i don't care about sounding nice anymore by the way. i know my heart lies in the right place and i have the capacity to care about more than #one ongoing genocide of indigenous peoples #removed incidents of bad actors having a ukrainian flag on their backpack doing hateful shit does not somehow okay dismissing a genocide you #so vehemently claim to oppose. they are not ukrainians who are getting bombed on the daily for years #i saw a very lovely 🍉🕊️ lady denying holodomor and using literal russian talking points while patting herself on the back for being such #a good person. i saw one of the most popular leftie accs on twitter be actively anti-ukraine and using slurs. luckily we mass reported them #and they're gone #i'm no longer being careful with my words because i don't want to be misconstrued. i know my values go beyond twitter and tumblr #if i catch you in any way undermining the genocide of ukrainians or only bringing it up to point fingers and bitch i am blocking you forever #don't care how far this post might go cuz of ppls questionable use of the search function. and i didn't care to censor anything #like. masks off. just block me if this is your rhetoric

The bestselling author of “Eat, Pray, Love” is pulling her forthcoming book from publication after facing online backlash, which is baffling the literary community. Elizabeth Gilbert said Monday that she has removed her upcoming release “The Snow Forest” from its publication schedule indefinitely out of respect for victims of the ongoing war in Ukraine. “Last week I announced the upcoming publication of my most recent book called ‘The Snow Forest,’” she began the video posted to social media on Monday. Gilbert set the novel in mid-20th century Siberia and it followed a group of people who removed themselves from society to resist the Soviet government and industrialization. “But over the course of this weekend, I have received an enormous, massive outpouring of reactions and responses from my Ukrainian readers expressing anger, sorrow, disappointment and pain about the fact that I would choose to release a book into the world right now — any book, no matter what the subject of it is — that is set in Russia,” Gilbert continued.

what the fuck?
