Reposted by Ann MackayYaroslava @strategywoman.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Do you also care about what future generations will think of us? Of what we did or didn’t do? Our actions now shape the lives they’ll have. We are stuck on what’s best for us. And it’s our biggest failure. 2735763
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 18hWe've been wilfully blind to the effect our desires for a 'good' life have on our planet & have ignored the dangers that we are storing up for the future. We each need to take whatever actions we can to use less of the Earth's resources, repair the harms to nature, & work to give hope to the future. 000
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 19hMorning Yara. I hope the sunshine makes you feel good...I'm about to go out in the sun here to work in my garden, always makes me feel happier. Sending you some sunny yellow flowers and a big hug 🤗 150
Reposted by Ann MackayYaroslava @strategywoman.bsky.social · 21hSunday morning in Kyiv. Emergency power outages again after russian strikes. The window is open, bringing in the sound of generators. Covering myself in a blanket of autumn sun and sipping a warcoffee, I’m going to write a letter about what it was like to live in Kyiv this week. 3443782

Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Hmm...I actually meant to say 'become' calm...wish these evil attacks on you would stop! 000

But by buying russian diesel now, Americans will be helping fund the murder of Ukrainian children in their beds. Congratulations, folks. 15423200

Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I fell asleep in front of the TV and woke to read the news of trump's traitorous deal with putin. I wondered if I was still half asleep, was I dreaming, was this real? But shockingly true...to stoop to such a low act! Confirmation that trump is on russia's side. 🤬🤬🤬I hate him. (Brilliant sculpture!) 030
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'm glad that you found such beauty today...it takes positivity and resilience to notice it when things may be feeling bleak. I hope that everyone in Kyiv will be well-prepared for whatever vile russia tries to inflict on you this winter. (May russia fail utterly at whatever it does try!) 🤗💛💙 040

Homes, warehouses, a children’s education center, a shopping store. People killed. Children injured. Someone still trapped under rubble. 55918
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 08/10/2026These figures stand very upright and very strong, and I think, watchful too. They look as if they are prepared for whatever action may be necessary to resist the russians. 💛💙 010

Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's tragic that this is how life has become...so much suffering at the hands of evil russia. But there is kindness too, in how Ukrainians behave towards one another and help each other. 010
Reposted by Ann MackayYaroslava @strategywoman.bsky.social · 07/10/2026A few minutes in Kyiv. Drones and a power outage not on the schedule. Someone is stuck in the elevator. My upstairs neighbour is going to look after her mum (97) in Sumy, closer to the frontline. A woman on the street asks where the nearest shelter is. I see her fear and take her to a safe place. 35536128

Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I've read the news...horrific. I hope you have a good workout. There needs to be some positives in such a day. 💔 040
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ugh, that is cruel. I hope that the winter will be less severe this year and that the repair engineers can keep up with the work. (It must get exhausting for them, heroes that they are.) 😔 000
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm glad that you still have the freedom to cross the river, even if there are restrictions. Hope you have a good and calm day, with plenty of good reading and good coffee! 🤗💛💙 040

Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That is really good to hear and I hope it stays that way for a long time. It must feel wonderful and very strange too. Someday calm will be normal again...I hope it is soon! 🤗💛💙 010

Reposted by Ann MackayYaroslava @strategywoman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Kyiv. Early Sunday evening. I went to have warcoffee at my favourite place. Drones? Frequent uninvited ‘guests’ during the day. One of the bridges was hit earlier. People are out, doing the same as I do: living their lives. 2456698
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We've seen how strong you all were through last winter and we know that Ukrainians are not ones to panic, so I believe russia will fail in its attempts to frighten you. (Oh, I would so love to see russia fail utterly and QUICKLY too...) 020
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is a very lovely walk, especially in the sunshine. I'm glad you've had this bit of joy today...Kyiv has so much beauty to bless you with. 🤗💛💙 010

Reposted by Ann MackayYaroslava @strategywoman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Evening in Kyiv. I’ve lost count of how many air raid alerts we’ve had today. Another one has just ended. A russian drone hit the bridge I mentioned earlier. Again. 3629959
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My thoughts on the russian terrorist are not such that they can be said here without getting me thrown of the site...but you will easily guess. 🤬🤬🤬 Stay safe, dear Yaroslava, and may you and yours all come through this time without harm. 💛💙 010
Ann Mackay @annmackay.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Horrifying to think what might have happened if they'd hit anything crossing the bridge with passengers aboard. My disgust with russia only grows, more and more! 000
