So this Thursday started off with a huge missile attack throughout the entire country, my apartment hasn’t had electricity since 6 AM and I am just having my first cup of coffee of the day at 13:15. Still no power but I did carry my kid down ten flights of stairs to get coffee in a local cafe.

Power outages all over Kyiv so today’s workout was dragging a toddler up ten flights of stairs after our morning walk.

So the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has issued a statement saying it has ‘received specific information of a potential significant air attack on Nov 20’ and has closed for the day. I’m choosing to believe they’re just really hyped about Stalker 2 and are all staying home to play it.

Well, Monday morning starts with schedules power outages in Kyiv because Russians have been attacking our power grid so viciously over the weekend. Here’s my schedule for today!

If you came here expecting reasonable and measured commentary, you're in the wrong place. You're going to comical and bordering on irrational hatred for every authoritarian and dictator alive or in the ground but especially the Russian Federation or whatever costume it happens to be wearing

Greetings new arrivals. I'm Sam and for the most part I am but a humble shitposter. I have a background in studying Nazi Germany, the late Russian Empire and the early USSR which I thought would be a neat party trick but then Timothy Snyder started appearing on MSNBC and now I hate everything

Disappointed by the severe lack of thirsty tweets— sorry, posts about Nosferatu on this app. On the other hand, though, there also seem to be zero thirsty posts about the bald russian actor from Anora so I guess… you win some you loose some?

We're going to have a Christmas tree in downtown Kyiv again, yay! Not as grandiose as what we had before 2022 and hopefully funded by volunteering businesses instead of city budget... but kids (and not only kids) need to feel the Christmas miracle even in the time of war.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

I’m sorry, these people had the sheer audacity to call Ukraine a Reddit country and now they voted in a dude who filled his cabinet with edgelords and nazis and conspiracy theorists? I am going to personally harass everyone who ever dared make fun of the pro-Ukrainian memes and videos. Everyone.

Ayo so I guess I’m back here while I wait for Twitter to go down in flames? I’ll still be mostly posting over there because I do enjoy watching a horrifying shitshow unravel, though, but it is good to have a backup.

My two moods are, apparently, feeling rationally on edge when there’s an air raid alert over Kyiv, and feeling kinda irrationally on edge when there haven’t been any air raid alerts over Kyiv for a few days. Is this how my brain’s going to be from now on?

Being Ukrainian means going to see the new Paw Patrol movie with your kid and hearing a random child in the audience yell out ‘air raid alert! air raid alert!’ during the scene where meteors are falling down on Adventure City and the protagonists are trying to get everyone to take cover.

There are a lot of impersonation accounts but there are also a lot of orgs that created accounts and don't really post here. I don't see a Bluesky link on savelife.in.ua so I'd be wary without official confirmation.

Alright, I’ve been out of the loop recently on this app, so this might’ve been discussed already, but what’s the deal with this? Is it a fake account? A real one? Is bluesky acting up or something?

As fun as retweeting the Elon Musk thread over and over again has been, watching a platform you’ve loved for over a decade just fall apart at the hands of a cartoonishly vile vatnik techbro is just shitty. Especially since it’s falling apart and getting drowned in propaganda at a such a bad time.

So this came in the mail a few days ago! It’s a book of anime-inspired recipes that I got to translate into Ukrainian, and lemme tell you, it’s a really cool deep dive into the history of Japanese food, anime, and just pop culture in general.

Honestly, I’m not even as worried about the radiation as much as I am worried about losing brain cells reading all the inevitable statements from concerned international organisations. You just know those spineless assholes are going to avoid offending russia even after it blows up a nuclear plant.

So, quick question: is the font on bluesky supposed to be so big? Because I feel like a grandma whenever I open the app, the letters are just so… huge and readable? Is it just me?

So what’s the plan, are we going to nervously shitpost and share silly memes during nighttime air raids from now on, or are we still doing that on Twitter?

It’s mighty demoralizing to see how the recent stream of news of Russian war crimes has been overall met with tepid responses, rather than commitments to game-changing improvements in military aid. Each day, the war takes precious lives, leaves little time to mourn but more anxiety for the next day.

Cooking is still the only thing that lets me temporarily forget about everything happening around me and just calmly breathe instead of existing in a state of unending anger and sadness. So today it’s homemade lime-coconut lemonade and a spring roll salad with Bourdain’s fake-ass spicy peanut sauce.

welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.

Well, so far using bluesky kind of feels like the 2010 version of Twitter (the one that would send you text notifications when you’d get a reply, remember those days?). It’s laggy, slow as fuck, kind of ugly and filled with a tiny number of cool mutuals who are way ahead of the crowd.
