The quotes featured in these slides represent some of the last words spoken by Ukrainian defenders.

seagull day

A little Child carries a white flag as he flees with his dad and sister from Israeli bombardment in gaza. The father asks him why are you holding it? The kid replies with: I don't know!!

Translation for their conversation:

- Where are you going? Are you scared?

= No!

- Why are you carrying a white flag?

= I don't know!!

- We're moving cause we're under attack

= yeah

- Are you scared?

= No!

- what about you Soma (the little girl)?

= Yes. (Little soma is scared).

- The tank is behind us, hurry up.

Soma runs and calls "baba" and he says: Don't be scared sweetie. Don't! Alhamdulilah we were able to get them out.

This is how displaced people woke up today, trying to gather their family to get away from the bombs. In what world is it obligatory for a child to hold a white flag? Shouldn't the fact that he's a child be a white flag in itself?

2 years since Mariupol defenders started to leave Azovstal in Mariupol and were captured by russians. Around 2000 Mariupol defenders are still in russian captivity.

Maybe the war made me a cynical and bitter person but all of the Eurovision discourse this year makes me laugh. No, for real

First of all, all the comparisons to Russian case are ridiculous. Russia wasn’t banned in 2008 after invasion of Georgia. Russia wasn’t banned in 2014 after invasion of Ukraine. Russia wasn’t banned in 2015 after intervention in Syria. “bUt wE bAnNEd ruSsIa in 2022.” Dude, you all missed a fucking decade.

Secondly, Ukrainians have been trying to uphold their contestants to some standards for years. But I DO remember the annoyance of Eurovision fans about Maruv and Alina Pash being cancelled. “Music is out of politics.” “Why these fucking Ukrainians making everything so political.” The phrase “Crimea is Ukraine” was turned into a meme. Yeah, why do Ukrainians care so much about annexed territories and ongoing war.

And this year somehow became the year of politics. Two-faced morons

The most difficult thing was to choose which exactly spiders to draw.🫠

russia commits ecocide in Ukraine

some people don't realize that it's not a "show", it's not just some news stories, it's the reality we, Ukrainians, live in every single day. Imagine you are being attacked and not allowed to even speak about it because it's "too depressing and inappropriate".

right fucking now, at this second, there are russian drones flying over my country, maybe over my region, maybe one of them will kill me or someone else like me. just for mere existence.

how can you be so deprived of empathy?

our suffering is just too damn inconvenient :(
