2 years ago I lived on the 16th floor of a high rise building in Dnipro, Ukraine. 2 years ago today, I woke up at around 6am and opened my twitter account to find out Russia had invaded Ukraine. (1)

1. If you have an epidural right after you give birth you might be very itchy - this is a symptom of some of the medications used in epidurals. I remember feeling so itchy I could rip my skin off. Let your care provider know there is a medication they can give you to counter it.

Whats frustrating about that Channel 4 report is Ukraine had so many black, Asian and Middle Eastern people already. The issue isn’t integration the issue is racism. The people complaining the U.K. is “multicultural” are racist but the report is framing it as an integration issue
