You know how we like to jokingly talk about future historians studying memes to learn about major historical events? SUCHO (Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online) is collecting, cataloguing and archiving websites from/about Ukraine as well as memes about the war against Ukraine.

I learned about this because one of the biggest libraries in Germany, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, is working with them on this.

So yeah, that's happening.

This is one of the main links I donated to in help for Ukraine. (It accepts transfers with Paypal as well) It's horrible what's happening right now.

I’m very tired. you probably heard that Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to slow Ukraine’s counter offensive. here’s something I didn’t quite realize: since this February, the Russians operated the dam in juuuuust the right way so that as much water would build up as possible when the snow melted and spring showers started. and then they blew the whole thing up.

40,000 people may need to be evacuated. I don’t really have the energy to say anything else right now.

Hospitallers Medical Battalion: actual angels can confirm. they’re combat-zone medical services - you know how humanitarian groups like MFS and Red Cross have to pause operations due to the Russians fucking shooting at humanitarian zones? yeah, these guys don’t pause for bullets, they fucking walk into them and they bring out anyone they can.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation: you can choose from a number of various fundraiser projects here, if you’re feeling particularly picky. for those of you who balk at the idea of supporting anything military just please remember that things like vehicles and drones aren’t just for military use, they’re also for evacuation and finding the wounded and they’re fucking vital.

KSE Foundation: similar to the above, KSE has multiple projects you can choose from to donate to. looking at it right now, one of the projects with the lowest amounts of money raised thus far - despite being started in April - is Seeds for Ukraine, which will help Ukraine recover from the ecological devastation Russia has been wreaking (and with Ukraine, the countries that rely on Ukraine’s grain exports that Russia keeps trying to steal).

Come Back Alive: do these guys even need the introduction? they’re Come Back Alive. I’m kissing all of them.

United24: Zelenskyy’s brain child, and the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. Mark Hamill recommends the fundraisers for drones in particular.

UAnimals: Nova Kakhovka’s zoo got… pretty much completely swept away. all zoo residents except the birds have drowned. UAnimals has tried throughout the occupation to keep the animals safe, and they’ve been reporting on the status of the zoo. I don’t really know what to say except that I hope they’re able to save the pets and strays in the towns along the river.

You can find NGOs specific to evacuation efforts in this post; please signal boost it as well. I’ve listed them but am leaving the links for the op post.

Maybe a Ukrainian should do this, if they thought it was a good idea, but I do want to help in some way...

Is there like a central place for Ukrianians to share their stories? Like a wall for you to share photos, art, writing-- fiction and nonfiction, journals, etc. It can be shared on social media to show the world individual human stories, but primarily for you for therapy and connection

Perhaps a place for ppl to connect privately

Way to share info about emergencies

Ways for people in trouble to get help, anonymously if needed

[support4ukraine]

I can make a tumblr blog for this, but that's as far as my tech skills go. I would just moderate but Ukrainian would submit things

Problem is, it will only reach the people on tumblr (can be shared...)

Also is there a way to find out if someone really is from Ukraine?

"Ukrainians do not want a diplomatic solution", bla-bla-bla in replies. Imagine that a maniac came to your house, destroyed everything, beat and raped your family members, and now calls them by his last name and keeps them in the basement with a gag in their mouths. And wants to do the same with you, but can't reach. Indeed, why "Ukrainians do not want a diplomatic solution"? There is little room for diplomacy when someone want to wipe you off the face of the earth along with your identity. Pacifism is a privilege. Grow up, guys, or show your sources of income. I have a few guesses about this.

My hometown was occupied by russians for 8.5 months. Then the russians shelled it every day for 7 more months. Today they flooded it. Whole houses are floating in the river, the others are uninhebitable. They left the animals to drown in cages and on the streets. Fucking terrorists.

Ukrainian Symbols: Not From Nazism, But From Ancestral Viking Ukraine

Yes, Ukraine is originally a Viking state, and much more so than Kremlin’s Rus. Much has been made of Ukrainian symbols also used by the Nazis, to claim Ulrainians are Nazis. This is beyond idiotic, as Ukraine suffered enormously at the hands of Nazi policies and even the Nazis themselves, if they were back, would certainly not apply those policies. So when a symbol appears that the Nazis also…
