The world is fucked up

I don't get it either. Why my people must die when Russia has so much support? Because on its own there's no way Russians have numerous drones (Iran) and ballistic missiles which they shelled Odesa today. Where is justice? Make Russia pay!  Please keep spreading our voices and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org and u24.gov.ua).

hi! i really like and enjoy your blog, but this question just keeps popping up for me whenever i see some of your posts recently, which feel like youre kind of romanticising life in russia… and i know that people can choose to be apolitical etc etc, im not trying to be mean, but i was wondering what you stance is towards ukraine or just the general situation in russia (i know its also not easy there rn with the repercussions for standing up against the regime and for queer people for example…) ?

i just wanted to know if you support russia politically or if youre just choosing to show your life in there and embrace the soviet aesthetic?

i will unfollow if youre pro-putin (as is the right of anyone using any social media site) but wanted to ask first and give the benefit of the doubt since i really like some of your content and have been following for a really long time.

Hi! I'm not apolitical in real life and the current situation in the country nauseates me. However, I originally started this blog (years ago) as a safe haven and a way to look at the good things in the past that happened despite the regime and all the horrible things (that also happened). Perhaps you're right and I'm romanticizing it, but perhaps it's different for me because I know more of the context.

It was difficult for me to keep going after February 24, and for months I wasn't posting anything except an occasional ask. Eventually I started missing my safe haven and slowly started posting again. I got a lot of support messages--much more than hate or disgust--it helped me stay afloat, not only in the blog but also in life. I'm very thankful to everyone who reached out or left supportive comments.

I do love old pictures very much and the atmosphere and old things and clothes and toys, and black and white pets and animals, and random shots of a tree or a piece of bread someone thought to take 70 years ago. It connects me to previous generations--seeing that they did and loved the same things we do and love today.

"why don't we hate israelis as much as we hated russians when they invaded ukraine" - first of all, who is "we". It was (primarily) Eastern Europeans who carried the russophobia on their backs, I'm not letting you appropriate their contribution. And second of all, when were you stabbing russian immigrants abroad for the sin of being russian and vandalising their neighbourhoods with swasticas? Because all I remember is russian men harrassing & beating up ukrainian refugee women and children, and setting their houses on fire, while westerners were observing this with "omg brotherly nation forced into war by politicians. make peace not war #deep"

Russian realtors lead potential buyers through destroyed apartments in Mariupol, where the owners were either forced to flee, or were killed by Russian bombs. Realtors recommend to invest in “razrushka” (a mockingly derisive word, derived from "razrukha,” or ruins), and joke that the previous owners had to leave in a hurry. These are incredibly disgusting vultures.

Russian realtors and speculators are buying and selling Ukrainian homes in the cities devastated by Putin. I don’t ever want to hear from tankies about how this Russian invasion was ever about “freeing” Russian speakers 🙄 or “de-nazifying” Ukraine. It’s Russian imperialism + colonialism. It’s ruthless, cold blooded land theft.

When Russia isn’t busy kidnapping Ukrainian children, they’re stealing Ukrainian land and homes.

This night I woke up from explosions. Sound in a way similar to the thunder. Only you know it's not a thunder. It's a war. This morning I saw in the news this photos. Nearly the center of Dnipro city was bombed by russians. As I said, I receive similar news everyday. And yes. People died during this attack. Children died. I don't understand this politic dances around the Aid for Ukraine. I don't understand this "let's not provoke russia". Imagine you're in one room with a maniac who intend to kill you in the most perverted and painful way. You managed to contact your friends. But instead of helping you out or calling the police they typed you back something like: "Maybe you should talk to the maniac? Try to understand their motives?". Will you try to talk? Or fight for your life instead?
