19 innocent people 9 of whom were children (on the playground)—that is how ruzzians call a so-called meeting place of (military) commanders and instructors that was bombed succesfully.

that is how ruzzian peace looks like. occupation, murders, gaslighting, and bloodlust.

he is literally PICKLED.

I somehow missed the interview on Cracker Island album (well, I was to busy to even drink water in 2022 and 2023, so...), my bad. however, Murdoc did not changed that radically, I am glad.

um... wanna some bingo?

cmon, I tried my best to make it!!!

there is never enough Murdoc!

oh, and I am sorry for having no fixed style, I try to find my own in the case of Gorillaz.

There is no cure for pro-r*ussian or so-called "polite influences" on social media.

I have recently been scrolling my YouTube and found a brand new video about food overconsumption. I read a few comments and, after putting a dislike, closed the video.

There was r*ssian coment, and of course, it was liked by an author. The message of the comment was that Americans eat the worst military food, bless the monarch of r*ssian empire, food should be nutritional, and so on.

First, as a Ukrainian, I saw many vids about r*ssian military food (made by r*ussians) where they were (so ironically) vomiting and telling this is just fat and porridge... It was the time I laughed.

Second, I am impressed how stupid the author is cause she liked it (btw she had a British accent, THE FOOK YER DOING A CHARAID?). Just because a terrorist loves flowers like you do it does not mean you have to support terrorism.

Third...Actually, it is not the first time I see how people like and are really impressed by comments like "as a r*ssian, I...", "I am from r*ssia and we...". You have never spoke to them, never seen the real r*ssia and you fucking forget there is the war in Ukraine — WHAAAATEVER, why not to like it, it is just a comment?

Because it is a lie and all the r*ssian users are just a piece of huge 150 million (less, I guess, whatever) shit making fun of you, pretending to be a better state. Instead of being ofenced and tell em to go to fuck themselves people are eating shit and are comfortable with a self-abasement.

Overconsumption is not the reason the USA is worse than an error state with no normal roads, houses, medicine, psychological health, but with huge half imperial half soviet ambitions, and so on.

And I do not even want to listen to your "bwbwbbababab r*ssians deserve for better lives you cannot be so mean, blah blah blah". They don't. They simply don't. Never deserved. Tell all the Georgians, Baltic countries, the Finnish, Polish people, Romanians, Moldovans (etc) r*ussians are good, and you will get your mouth stuffed with nails and crap.

аж полегшало, кулєги, ширте мої думки, поки я живий.

кулєги, ширте, Хеталія жива в Україні!

aye aye!

sorry, fellas, no fanart this year, I have got this fucking chickenpox.

yes, I am over 20 and never had it before.

no fever, no pain, nothing, but the rash that I cannot stand.

ні, серйозно, мене так кошмарили нею...типу, я точно подохну од неї у дорослому віці.

та я відчуваю, що подихати я буду від свербіння.

як я її пілхопили? а все дуже елементарно — я ж працюю в закладі освіти!

yo, I am back!

Do Europeans (and do Ukrainians) criticize for low foreign language skills?

Today, I found a post of a non-European who complained about how the Spanish criticized foreigners for nor speaking Spanish. It reminds me of posts about how Europeans hate when Americans are not bilingual or are not speaking their mother tongue.

As an Eastern European, specifically, as a Ukrainian, I personally give no sheesh whether you speak Ukrainian or not. However...

First, not all Ukrainians speak English/Spanish/French/German etc.

You cannot simply come here and expect us to speak English fluently. Elder generations speak English badly, my generation (um...actually, I am not gen Z according to our generation theory...I am Y...uummmm...however!) also refuses to speak (but learns), the youngest gen Alpha cannot speak English yet. Why? Because we cannot practice it, we have no extra money to travel all around the world (even before the war, ye know), and as an English language teacher, I have to say the methods of teaching English in Ukraine are...particularly ineffective. Same situations with less spreaded languages.

Second, we want you to speak Ukrainian.

It is a common situation (especially before the war) when a foreigner surely learns French or German but thinks English will be enough in Ukraine. You may say that is because Slavic languages are hard to (at least) speak, but many of you choose russian to learn. Moreover, there are absolutely brainless and somehow pragmatic people (yeah, Chinese, I am speaking about you) thinking it is enough to speak russian in Ukraine, the mother language of Ukrainians does not matter.

We want you to speak Ukrainian. We do not really care how bad you speak. We will surely (try to) understand you and correct if it is necessary. Our language is unique, and we want not only all the Ukrainians to speak it but also foreigners to learn.

btw how did I learn English...? well...I am a philologist of English and Chinese languages, and I have a bachelor degree (yet).

теє-то, кулєги, поширюйте допис, я пітнів і без перекладача писав, як справжній профі!

first pic was not made by me, btw...it was a club owner.🫣💀

.happy halloween 🎃

I will improve the wig I swear.

yay, I have recently got the green lenses and the wig (人´∀`)♪

feeling so BEERtish.

the last point in my cosplay to-do list is to make the proper hairstyle (wigs normally come with longer hair, and well, it makes sense).

ah, and the costume set needs to be collected, I cannot find the proper uniform, I am not a 40 kilo fella.

peace!

attention!

I am not telling all the USA and Canada are like that.

I am only asking you to touch the grass if you keep thinking we are stealing yer money and do nothing after the migration.

peace!

That is what ruzzians did with my house recently.

8th of July, 2024. ruzzian terrorists bombed many buildings of Kyiv, including Okhmatdyt hospital. however, let me show you what they did to my house that very day (the hospital is kinda close to us). I survived the first wave of rockets on my floor, I also monitored the next one, but sadly did not have time to get to a safe place in the elevator. in front of my eyes, under extremely powerful explosions, the neighbour's door flew off its hinges, the ceiling crumbled (did not fall), and the entire floor was covered in a fog of dust. speaking nervously, most likely delusional, I went down (it was also dangerous to do, NEVER DO THAT, PLEASE). I picked up a neighbor’s girl (a teenager) on the floors below, whom I thought I left in the house where the door was broken (I was afraid, I аm sorry, I was afraid to come closer, I was only thinking about myself); well...everything went well: the girl managed to go down the stairs before the rocket detonated. the neighbors were scared, a few of them were crying, we had an injured child (of preschool age, her temple was covered in blood), I filmed a little of what was on the street. my hands were shaking, I could not call anyone, I just mumbled something. my relatives came as fast as they could (I live with one of them), they even dared to go up to the apartment, clean it up a bit, and then we left the house and now live in another one.

it is temporary, of course. yesterday, I went to clean the house (as you can see in the video), it is almost clean of glass and pieces of walls. we are going to fix the windows ourselves, because it will be 100 years before the state does them. however, this bittersweet memory of how I almost died at home (it was a cruise rocket...the ballistics would have buried us all alive) would never allow my already shaky mental state to recover.

I have been trying to shout at people for a long time about two things: ruzzia must be destroyed; Ukraine must receive comprehensive assistance. I don't care how many kidneys I will later sell to the USA, Britain or Germany to thank for the fact that my country will live in peace, I am ready for anything, as long as children stop dying in front of my eyes. I heard the moaning of people under the rubble, I regretted that I was living instead of the dead. we are not a third world country. we deserve to exist, and fucking ruzzians are not allowed to decide our fate.

that is how I (haha, let us say NORMALLY, though the war must not be a part of daily routine), again, NORMALLY live, and honestly, it is nothing comparing to the eastern part of Ukraine.

I just want you to know ruzzians try to kill us while yer tolerating em all year by year.

цю частину тексту я пишу лише для українців: тримайтеся, тримайтеся далі, тримайтеся, як на початку, щоб побачити кінець геноциду української держави.

Guter Musikant aber schlechter Mensch.

the origin of this reversed title is further: it first appeared in „Ponce de Leon“ by Brentanos Lustspiel (Guter Mensch aber schlechter Musikant); then E. T. A. Hoffmann, the representative of late German Romanticism, made a "theory" of "good men" and "musicians".

the main point was...let us say that the "good men" (also known as philisters) are regular (normally precious and insidious) people who adhere to the norms and morals of their society; the "musicians" are artists whose nature (romantic) is different (often immoral), but this does not mean they are unsurpassed in their "craft". in case of this character, I was deeply impressed seeing how cruel Kanjuro behaves but how professionally he acts. however, a question of whether he was a friend of Kin'emon's is rhetorical: I've been researching Japanese culture and literature for a long time, I've been reading manga and watching anime, and now I know that the Japanese like to fill their works with riddles, puns, confusion, and so on. nevertheless, I like certain characters; they are not so primitive, although it seems so.

beauty of Ukrainian movie 🍿🎥

краса українського кіно 💗💗💗

шедевр, на мою скромну думку. я ще не раз до нього повернусь, там так круто розкриваються персонажі і переплітаються життєві історії героїв, я тааак плакала на деяких моментах 🥺

Buy Me A Coffee sanctioned Ukraine and banned Ukrainian creators from their platform.

The cited reason appears to be "because Russia occupies 20% of your country"

they destroyed the Tavrian Chersonesus and took artifacts to Russian museums I'm gonna be sick. This is 1600 years older than Notre Dame, THIS IS A UNESCO HERITAGE MONUMENT

i don't know how to say this but if you see something get called russian culture maybe double check. many people online have no fucking clue how many things they claim as theirs that are simply not. this cultural erasing is a tool of genocide, because when you have no culture, you have no language, you have no nation. please fucking use your brain. i bet you a million dollars you've seen borshch (also spelled borscht) as a russian dish but it is literally one of our national dishes. look up the ems ukaz. the erasure of our culture isn't new so think for a second. did you know dostoyevskyy was ethnically ukrainian? what about gogol? what about ryepin? aivazovskyy was ukrainian with armenian roots. and yet they are all pillars of "russian art". do you get it yet? they ruined our lands, made the best education all russian, gave you rights and respect if you lived as a russian and they succeeded in it. these people are russian to history now, our culture is being erased and only we care

it's always 'ukraine was being invaded', not 'russian-ukrainian war'. always. it always was, as if russians didn't bomb one of europe's largest printing houses in kharkiv last week and the invasion ended after 2 months. it's always invasion, as if russians don't bomb the whole ukrainian territory every single day - civil infrastructure, residential quarters, schools and printing houses. you're against terrorism, violence and war crimes until you're uncomfortable. because for some reason, the world is absolutely comfortable with russia killing thousands of ukrainians. of course, it's not comfortable to live in a world with a literal war in europe. but how comfortable is it to live in a warring country that is being destroyed every day? how comfortable are children to go to school only to spend half the day in a shelter? how comfortable are people waking up without knowing if they will even wake up tomorrow? or if their close ones will wake up tomorrow?

you're either with a terrorist state, or with ukraine. there is nothing outside of politics. you are politics. people's lives are also politics. being neutral is the same support for russia. choose a side.

I'm writing this post because I don't want people in other countries to imagine an ever-present warzone when they think of Ukraine.

Think of your ordinary life. You go to work, go out with friends, build plans for a summer holiday. You have neighbours, maybe you don't know all of them well but they live next to you and you say hello when you see them. You live in a good apartment, with all amenities, modern appliances and stylish furniture. You pay bills for heating, water and electricity. Maybe you're renting out or it's your own place. You are a part of a globalized world although you don't think about it on such a scale.

And then one day there are explosions in your city. At first it seems shocking and unusual. But you hope it'll end soon. But they don't stop. They become more frequent. You witness your hometown get demolished. The places where you spent your free time or ran errands - the windows get shattered and the walls begin to crumble. It looks weird in the middle of a modern city.

Soon the explosions happen so often that you have to go and live in the basement. You, a person, who has a modern home, must move to a basement, with other people like you, where you don't get enough light or fresh air, let alone enough tap water or a decent place to sleep.

And then you witness death. In fact, many deaths, not just one. You get the news of people you knew, maybe your neighbours or relatives, getting killed. They are just gone. At some point you become so desensitized, the news of a dead body lying outside doesn't shock you. Sometimes you have to go outside and help other people dig out the bodies from under debris or bury them. Sometimes you see other apartments being on fire and you can't do anything. Nobody can and there's no point.

The shops are closed and you become so desparate that you start hunting pigeons for food. You share tiny portions with other people because, even though the conditions are terrible, you remain a human.

You lose everything that you owned and cherished. And it all happens in three months. You basically lose any sense of belonging to a modern society in three fucking months. That's what happened in Mariupol. When you see the photos and videos of people in dirty ragged clothes, looking like they came straight from the middle ages, in front of a ruined street - it's easy to think of them only like this. But they never lived like that before. They lived just like you. They had everything you had - TVs, computers, cars, internet, medical care, shops with stylish clothes. And then just in three months russia made them turn into dejected shadows of themselves who forgot what normal life feels like. That's a real tragedy and that's what russians have done and are still doing to us. They are ruining our normal life which isn't much different from your normal life.

Перша книга в 2018-му році - Дмитро Корчинський ‘Сяючий шлях’. Я є давнім фанатом творчості Дмитра Олександровича тому не дивно що я в дикому захопленні від його нового роману. Як на мене Корчинський взагалі є одним з найбільш недооцінених літераторів сьогодення, не розумію чого так. Можливо надто багато людей сприймають його творчість занадто буквально і беруть все шо він говорить дуже близко до серця - але не варто так робити. Це шкідливо для психіки і фізичного здоров’я. Я думаю його треба сприймати як потік чистого мистецтва, водночас трохи критично та іронічно. 

Отже в романі ви побачите все те саме що Корчинський говорив завжди, але вустами головних героїв гостросюжетного бойовика. Це українське “Кримінальне чтиво”, “Відчайдушний”, “Великий куш” - тобто все найкраще що є у Квентіна Тарантіно, Гая Річі, Роберта Родріґеса, але помножене на українську революційну філософію. На жаль не знаю більше прикладів такої творчості в літературі, навіть зарубіжній, бо бойовик Корчинського - глибоко філософський і інтелектуальний. Це не детектив і не пригодницький роман, а філософські роздуми про Бога, сенс життя, гроші, Україну і все таке. 

Отже раджу почитати цей роман всім тим хто цікавиться хорошою і якісною інтелектуальною літературою, а також українськими суспільно-політичними рухами 90-х і 2000-х років. Без глибокого знання контексту сприймати його буде досить складно. Можливо все ж ознайомлюватися з творчістю треба з моєю улюбленою “Війна у натовпі”.
