American non-combat volunteer in Kharkiv, Ukraine
This moron doesn't understand anything about the WW2 history of Ukraine.

This is not a haven of Nazis nor Nazi sympathizers.

A good friend here in Ukraine provided me with two 3kg spools of khaki (Ukrainian definition - for Americans, it would be olive drab or military green) filament.

Thank you so much - and thanks to all of my other friends and sponsors!

Posted a year ago, these are pictures taken of Kharkiv that show the horror caused by the Ruzzian attackers.

Yet, we remain in the city - a city that continues to rebound and breathe.

Glory to Ukraine
Glory to the volunteers.
Glory to the heroes.

You've met Jackson... now here's Marsik. Marsik is a bit older than Jackson and is very shy. It's taken me about 2 months to get him to sit with me, and then only for a few moments at a time.

For those of you that haven't been around sphinx cats, you are missing out.

I was walking in {redacted} the other day and saw this little fellow.

He ran over to me and asked for some food, but, unfortunately, I had nothing.

Having gotten on the metro going the wrong direction here in Kharkiv once, I decided to take it to the end....

The metro is free and my time is, at times, of little perceived value.

I enjoyed the ride.The relaxation was worth the time spent.

It's amazing being with a partner that is also working on a language with Duolingo.

We can sit at opposite ends of a room and language (rather poorly) at each other.

Lyuda is learning my language and I am learning hers.

We share both our enjoyment and our frustrations...

Cleaning out a lot of things and one of them is the saved WiFi connections on my laptop.

Multiple days last week, Kharkiv civilian infrastructure was attacked by Ruzzian drones. The power at my apartment was out for about 2 hours after one of these attacks.

Yeah, I still have a temperature/humidity sensor in my freezer.

I've been at Hell's Kitchen now for well over a year - I arrived in July of 2023 and it's now January of 2025.

If you want to know more about what I'm doing, please follow me on Facebook or LinkedIn. I need more characters than BlueSky offers me.

Recently, I was at the "Antiques Market" and came across a large stack of LP albums.

I think that was what it was... Or maybe medical records. 😂👏🤣

There's a collection of destroyed Ruzzian armor and a display of spent munitions on the outskirts of Kharkiv. I take volunteers from Hell's Kitchen out there if they are interested - most are.

Here's the VIN from one of the husks.

As a foreigner, the capabilities of the telephone system here in Ukraine amaze me.

I have been a subscriber to Kyivstar since I arrived. Ukrainians will know that the price continues to creep up, but the robustness of the network in the face of physical and cyber attacks is very much appreciated.

Amazing to see MiG-29 and F-16 fighters flying in the same airforce.

Yes, I'm guessing that there are other "combined forces" with strange bedmates, but to know that these are in the skies above me is incredible.

You may be getting tired of hearing about the syringe delivery, but I thought I'd add one more little bit. There were several boxes/crates that were sent to organizations via Nova Poshta.

Thanks to one of our British volunteers, I was able to get some Canadian Maple Syrup. My previous bottle of syrup ran out and was replaced with some much higher quality product. -)

Thanks, Thomas!

Amazing work carried out under less than ideal circumstances.

Here's a bit of audio that I recorded from my patio a while back...

We don't post any information on social media while an attack is ongoing, waiting for the authorities to post before we do. No reason to help the enemy with battle damage assessment.

Photos or video of air defense is a big no-no.
