A leisurely morning in #Kyiv was ruined with sounds like this and people scuttling unexpectedly for shelters - the alarm raised AFTER the first blasts.
Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko confirms a number of explosions - an attack on infrastructure.

Sunday 25 September, Day 214 of #Russia's war of choice. Imagine a leader choosing to send over 50,000 of his countrymen to death and calling up another million, against a peaceful nation which never fired on, nor invaded anyone!

It's believed #Ukraine has killed another collaborator in #Kherson.
Former Deputy of National Affairs Oleksiy Zhuravko is one of the victims after missiles destroyed this hotel populated by Russians. He was twice an MP in Ukraine before moving to Russia in 2014.

Yesterday, Putin announced partial mobilisation of his population to fight in #Ukraine. In this thread, I'll be collecting all the Twitter proof that points to the disproportionate mobilisation of indigenous populations colonised by #russia, which is racist & colonial AF🧵
Let's kick off with this viral video from #Dagestan, located in North Caucasus and colonised by russia. Indigenous populations being sent to their death thanks to #RussianColonialism, again.
And straight to #Buryatia, where male students are taken straight out of classes. This indigenous nation tried to leave #RussianColonialism in 20th c. but russians came and slaughtered tens of thousands of people (source on this always @maksymeristavi.)
#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.
It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).

French / Luxembourghish sign:
#Hydronym and #hydronomastics both derive from Ancient #Greek ὕδωρ / húdōr (water) + ὄνομα / ónoma (name).
#Hydronyms tend to outlast other #toponyms, even when new #languages and cultures displace earlier ones.
#England, #EastAnglia, #Essex, and #Sussex are named for the #Angles and #Saxons; but #Trent, #Ouse, #Thames, #Severn, and #Avon are older #Celtic and #RomanoBritish names.
