If you think 'giving up territory' to Russia is a neutral compromise, meet one of the ordinary people who would be given up along with it. annabowles.substack.com/p/the-heart-...

I collect 2nd hand laptops, phones & tablets to send to #Ukraine where my friends recondition them, mostly for use by internally displaced people. If you have devices in UK/Europe, DM me & we'll get them to Ukraine. We helped Natalia continue her education when her family fled from the east to Lviv.

My writing isn't just about kids in need, but WHAT they need. It's not adult jigsaws, or even games. They live in a hostel with a playroom that opens once a week. What they need is more attention, which is best supplied by Ukrainian-run programmes. Better the West fund those than send more clutter.

'in ukrainian kitchens' is - unfortunately - a collection of conversations I have had with foreign and local friends while in Ukraine, mostly in kitchens. Everyone in the country has them regularly. As published in Magma 90. #ukraine #poetsonbluesky
