People (literally no one) asked me, “why don’t you take a picture of your book with Derzhprom, the main Kharkiv’s jewel?” So I did it for my favourite subscribers😁. (thanks to the great activist Ksenia Levadna for that).

By the way, the photo is kindly provided by @snailwayyy

This Kharkiv cat has exactly the character for a successful Monday.

For some reason, it is never the representative of the attacked who wants to plaster together victims and perpetrators, and see how those could live with one another peacefully as the crime is in full swing.

Photos of a friend’s Kyiv Art studio hit by a russian drone. Then, a young talented poet Serhii Naumenko, resident of my first art residency killed on the Zaporizzhia front. We all met in 2022 by Chetemosh river, made art and ate pizza by the water, wrote. Talked about future. 👇

This Kharkiv cat is your Friday deadlines administrator.

A burnt book of poetry at the Kharkiv’s civil enterprise hit by Russian Shaheed drones in central Kharkiv yesterday. 20 residential buildings were damaged.

It’s the historical centre under attack, 18-19th century architecture. But human life is more important now.

In the morning russian military again are hitting Kharkiv with a swarm of Shaheed drones. Earlier the electricity and heating was destroyed.

A fascinating talk on futurism, writing, translating and Ukraine with @Ukrostap, Martin-Oleksandr Kislyi and Myroslav Laiuk at @univofstandrews @StAModLangs @vsdonovan @emilyfiner

I watched clouds of black smoke rise above the alley where I biked every day to the lake on summers. Grandpa was so proud to have built this town and its power plant. At nights the plant roared. My grandpa’s town has been recently attacked by the russian military again.

November. In Kharkiv no heating, no electricity, metro stopped. The russian state systematically administers urbicidal strategy, while European states continue to fund this. Don’t be silent, killing Ukrainians and their cities is not the end goal.

Scrolling pages of independent russian media makers is a curious practice. You will never see war there, as if Ukrainians already don’t exist. There will be disputes over songs, fears russian diaspora might forget the feel of homeland, fundraisers for themselves. And never war.

How I signed an email as a Ukrainian: 🫠

This distinguished Odesan gentlemen wish all a quiet Friday.

This Kharkiv cat is a spirit of autumn and a great yoga instructor.

This Kharkiv cat has all the energy you need for the day.

These Kharkiv cats are autumn witches.

Part of this area is still a russian base to this day.
