most of ukrainian accounts i follow stopped being searchable on twitter. i need to type almost full handle for them to appear. the majority disappeared from my timeline. this kind of censorship has to be illegal at least by eu laws. right, @vestager?
devaluing, dehumanizing, dismissing as “trolls/bots” indigenous voices with lived experiences from lands you claim “expertise” about is not “hitting the nerve” - it is called “western colonial arrogance” and there should be no place in western academia for this kind of attitude
not familiar with the work of the person attacked (nor the attacker) but it is more of a principle for me, i hear the same westsplaining shit in other situations every day and i am done tolerating it.
just think about it: there’s an entire class of western intellectual elites that have build their careers and “expertise” on normalizing russian fascism and russian colonial propaganda
#VolyaHub is already working on several projects, uniting dozens of journalists and storytellers from four countries — and this list is growing. watch the space.
thanks @KSergatskova and @zaborona_media for helping to make sure it is a thriving success and finding the energy and the space to contribute despite the horrors of genocide surrounding you and your families every day. this is the definition of ukrainian resistance
my 93yo grandma just had a stroke, spent most of day without lights amid sub-zero temperatures. more ukrainians will die in genocide before today is over.
imagine if russian 'oppositionists' + their western bitches cared at least a second about that instead of their tv station
the audacity of prominent russians in exile blaming ukrainians for closing down their law-breaking tv station in latvia is in no way surprising.
не хочу аби ви всі повиздихали. але хочу аби до скону ваші життя були жалюгідні та повні злиднів. і шоб не було місця на землі де були б вам раді. і щоб будь-де коли говоритимете "я росіянин" вас гнали мокрою ганчіркою чи дивились на вас на як помиї. бо карма.
