you can always support my work as well. war takes heavy financial toll on our families. some family members are already displaced, some are about to. most have lost incomes. you support is not a charity, you get quality shit in return, too

show your solidarity to @KyivPride fam, too, the largest pride org in ukraine. despite some donors delaying funding right before the war and the team becoming war-displaced, they keep working 24/7 to support queer communities and our #PrideBrigade

today we mark the Roma Resistance Day. the history of Ukrainian Roma fighting back against the colonial invaders, whether in 1945 or 2024, is integral to this story. however, it is also one of the least known. Image
my latest essay for russian colonialism 101. the newsletter Image
The Ukrainian resistance against fascism and colonialism, both its Western and russian forms, dates back generations. Romani-Ukrainians are integral part of this history Image

Misha Biketov was a young artist writing electronic music for my favorite Ukrainian label @dnipropop. then russia came to his home and instead of art, he had to defend his family from genocide. Misha became a great drone operator instead. but russians still took him away from us Image
Misha was just 24.

His label and frontline unit are fundraising to support his family in these trying times.

blood-chilling account of russia-facilitated famine in Ukraine in 1921-1923. moscow starved up to 2.5 million Ukrainians or approximately 7-8% of the nation — it still remains largely unknown and poorly-studied chapters of #RussianColonialism Image
"There were many cases of suicide. Mothers threw their children into wells and rivers, killing themselves afterward. Hunger tormenting people so much that they became crazed." Image
the 1921 famine in the Soviet Union started as a weather- and war-provoked crisis. but while russia mobilized unprecedented international aid for regions closer to Moscow, the same catastrophe in newly recolonized Ukraine and Crimea-Qirim was kept as a secret and ignored Image

“you better believe me, we still are going to win. we had two days of this terrible bombing and still passersby smiling at me. we won’t give up”

Nadiya Romaniv, a municipal worker from Kharkiv is your best reminder that you shouldn’t feel sorry for Ukrainians. feel proud of them
Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, their dignity, their right to live and love. Ukrainians are the pride of the free world.

And they are going to win with the help of your solidarity ✊🏼💙💛

Our arts and culture have always served Ukrainians as an anchor to fall back on during the darkest hours Image
Empires, which tried to break and erase Ukraine. They come and go. But the Ukrainian spirit, values and resistance live on — often encapsulated in the Ukrainian art and culture

“Russian Colonialism 101” guidebook is as much about storytelling as it is about art. I’d like you to meet seven Ukrainian artists who empowered this book with their talent.

a 1989 work by a Ukrainian artist Maria Shnyder-Senyuk. titled "The 1930’s in Ukraine" it depicts the russia-made Holodomor genocide in Ukraine. russians stole the painting from a museum in Kherson in 2022 while their country and the society still deny genocide even happened Image
systemic erasure of any evidence of russia-committed genocides is part of the #RussianColonialism toolbox of covering up for mass murders russians commit. throughout centuries it allowed russian society to evade any accountability for imperial violence committed in its name
this serial behavior of erasing/stealing historic artifacts of the colonized communities allows the empire to rewrite or reinterpret history with ease. that’s why 90 years later the Holodomor genocide that took away almost as many lives as Holocaust is still barely known globally
