Cute puppy being adorably fed from a bottle until...
Only father is alive from this family. The rest of them were killed in today's russian missile attack.
"Liberated Bucha" (Звільнена Буча) by Anton Logov
i need a fic where they go to therapy together
now, numbers explained⬇️
! This is hugely simplified and by no means am I saying the situation was the same or anything; no it wasn‘t, but it‘s interesting to see the paralelles !
1 - referring to years of English/British rule over Ireland and Russian rule over Ukraine.
2 - in both cases native language/culture was heavily disadvantaged in favour of the coloniser’s language/culture. What a surprise.
3 - he’s talking about the Great Famine of 1845-51, exacerbated by Britain’s lack of reaction and continued exports of provision from Ireland. Popular attitude being that „God has sent famine to punish the Irish”.
4 - she’s talking about 1933 Holodomor famine, a man-made famine where the soviet version of the Russian empire deliberately took grain and other stuff from peasants forcibly as a part of „state grain requisition“ and also forbid emigration so peasants were trapped to starve. Duh.
5 - Irish rebellions against the British rule, notably in 1798, 1803, 1820s O’Connel movement, 1848, 1867 etccc
6 - Ukrainian rebellions under Russian rule, for example Mazepa in early 1700s, Koliivschyna 1768, Haydamaky early 1800s etc
7 - the first Universal of the Ukrainian Central Council in 1917 proclaimed autonomy, not a full separation from Russia.
8 - similarly, Ireland aimed to get home rule first, which also kinda means staying within the empire but having their own parliament. But the developments pushes both nations to a fight for independence eventually.
9 - Thus we get Irish war of independence 1919-21 and Ukrainian liberational struggle 1917-22.
10 - Ireland ended up in a civil war following the signing of the Anglo-Irish treaty in 1922-23; In Ukraine…ugh, it was a mess, but to cut the long story short, there was UPR in bitter rivalry with the Hetmanate, there were communists, anarchists, the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic with different struggles from the rest of the Ukrainian People’s republic, there were local leaders…yes. I mean. Mad shit.
11. Unlike Ukraine, that got de-facto occupied by USSR, Ireland, except for 6 counties, became almost independent following the 1920s struggles.
12. „Almost” because it emerged as a British dominion, a free state rather than the republic; all the way until 1949. And the tensions over those six counties imploded again in 1970s.
13. And Ukraine is still. Fighting for her life against Russia as I’m typing this. Friendly reminder.
I could go on for ages about this; the economic impact, the nature of independence movements – but I’ll spare you for now. Ukrainians, have a meme I made in 2023
I just don't want my country to be forgotten.
I don't want people to forget that Ukraine, as well as Belarus, never wanted to be with russia, NEVER, and never will. russia is destroying everything dear to me.
I wish to see the days when Ukraine is free, with all the territories, with no russian language, no occupiers, nothing russian. I wish to see the days when people start saying Kyivan Rus and Volodymyr the Great. I wish to see Belarus with their REAL flag and official language and without ANYTHING russian. I wish to see people posting Belaruthian writers and artists and call them Belaruthian, not russian. We are not russian. We will never be russian. But we pay a huge price for that.
I want people in this fandom to understand my hatred, to understand what I feel when I read about, for example, russian occupation of Lithuania and Latvia.
I want people to understand what I feel when I search for articles about anything in Belaruthian, and I find NOTHING. Everything is in russian. I want people to understand what I feel when I hear my former classmate telling me that a russian rocket killed her neighbour.
If my land is gonna be forgotten, it means my family is gonna be forgotten, and I am gonna be forgotten. I don't want to be forgotten.
If you think "it's just politics, you shouldn't bring politics" - you are a very fucking cruel and heartless person.

Life in Ukraine:
– Hearing the explosions while wife gives birth is the next level of fucked up

Love these quick sketches of simple designs
They all trans and gay
this artwork is dedicated to my killed, robbed, and colonized Ukrainian ancestors.
Following the declaration of independence on this day 33 years ago, the All-Ukrainian referendum on Ukraine's independence took place in December 1991. To be independent is a conscious choice of the Ukrainian people. Happy Independence Day! Glory to Ukraine!
