if this war is lost, most queer ukrainians will end up in mass graves. showing your solidarity with queer ukrainians is to donate to ukrainian army

there’s a simple reason why genocide in ukraine also turbo-charged public acceptance of queer ukrainians. equality and diversity are quintessentially ukrianian and anti-colonial values

before sending this edition out, i chatted with a passionate western volunteer helping out ukrainians. the person was frustrated how their family wouldn’t share the enthusiasm. and how finding support within ‘the chosen family’ of ukrainians is lifting them up
as a queer ukrainian, i cannot relate more to the ‘chosen family’ experience. but it is remarkable how it also became part of the anti-colonial solidarity around ukraine. it is not a coincidence, though
i keep telling everyone that it was easier for me to come out as queer than as ukrainian. but after i did both, only then did the queerness of being ukrainian become so apparent for me

бажаєш смерті москалю? тоді їбаш його в собі.
як це називається коли одночасно мурахи по шкірі та сльози?

i am so sick and tired of googling stuff in ukrainian and constantly getting results in russian, @Google
sick digital colonialism. googling the word “ukraine” in ukrainian — getting zero results in ukrainian, but plenty of russian propaganda websites instead
and yes, russian is specifically excluded in my search results settings.

вінниця була рівно тиждень тому.
а відчуття водночас наче рік тому або вчора. йобнутися від такого плину часу.
one week after russian terrorist attack on downtown vinnytsia. 26th victim died in a hospital today. meanwhile, ukrainians are cleaning up, rebuilding, mourning — defiant as ever. the future is ukraine.

when a window installer in odesa can explain you democracy better than any academic.

absolutely astonishing how ukrainian democracy not only survives through genocide but also thrives and even gets stronger.

another one for history books by @ngumenyuk
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
"in responding to putin’s invasion we have become more democratic, more decentralized, more liberal. his efforts are not merely failing in the narrow sense; they have highlighted how different we really are from russia, and are having the opposite effect from what he intended"
"russian occupiers in Ukraine do not understand that local authorities here do not follow orders from the president or security service but represent communities. unable to comprehend this freedom of thought they torture officials demanding to know who is orchestrating protests"

folks, i need your help amplifying it.

this is our friend and our icon and our inspiration.

maksym butkevych is the most prominent human rights defender in ukraine.

he is kidnapped by russia.

#FreeMaksymButkevych
maksym is quintessential ukraine. soft-spoken, quite, kind man, but with a resolute and valor that radiates off him. he spent his life tirelessly defending human rights in ukraine — for anyone, including migrants. there wasn't a single call he hasn't answered. 24/7.
when the genocide started i wasn't surprised maksym was one of the first to enlist to defend us on the frontline. as other of our finest, brightest, most brilliant ukrainians, he instantly knew the stakes — we are defending not just our territory, but our civilization, our values
