Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Today marks three years of Ruzzia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine and I’m reminded of the Ukrainian toast “budmo” - “let us be.” It’s said to have originated from the times of the Cossacks - leave us alone. Stop trying to take over our land and kill our people. #fuckrussia #russiaisaterroriststate

A piece I wrote a year and a half ago and I still feel the main gist of it stands. Outside of the reality that it is no longer "Putin's War," the importance of history and avoiding the instrumentalization of certain history only has become more and more important. activehistory.ca/blog/2022/03...

A sex scene, the characters based on my grandparents. Arguably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.

5 Stalks of Grain is a harrowing read and a small piece of the brutality of the Holodomor. And my writing wouldn't be improving if it wasn't for Adrian's critical eye.
Hi! Allow me to introduce myself. I write historical fiction. Five Stalks of Grain, a graphic novel I wrote (illustrated by the incredibly talented Ivanka Galadza) about the Holodomor, the terror-famine that claimed millions of lives in Soviet Ukraine was published by University of Calgary Press.
