They say the war will be long.
We must gather all our strength to fight and survive.

This is my weekly reminder
that I write letters about Ukraine — its war, history, and culture — so the world never forgets.

In my latest Sunday Letter
I wrote about the Holy Week in Ukraine,
adding some Easter childhood memories.

And video... it helps to understand
what Easter is like in Ukraine
now.

Posts with links work very poorly
(even here, on Bluesky).

So, I will stop posting links to the posts
with info about new letters.

For your convenience,
I have added a Linktree to my bio.
You can always find the links to the latest letters there 😘

Donald Trump sparked outrage worldwide with his shocking display of bullying at Friday's Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 145,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Recorded three years ago on a sunny February day....

Episode 109 - Here at the river's edge (33 mins)

On a quiet day at an empty spot.
A crescent of beach on the River Crouch in Essex.
Blue skies. The call of curlew on the wind. Lapping waves.

Episode 62 - A mistle thrush sings amongst wind hushing conifers (28 mins)

Down on the forest floor it's quiet. Just the fleeting voices of children playing somewhere else deeper in the wood. A bumble bee comes, then goes. A blackbird sings.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

If you need a break from the festivities, we can give you an escape to somewhere else. Take five minutes or longer by the sea, under the trees or somewhere else quiet. 🎧

Morning from Kyiv!
The night was calm here;
one short air raid alert only.
No power.
So I’m patiently (no) waiting for it.
It will be back soon.
Of course, I want a #warcoffee

The latest Sunday Letter.
Key news from Ukraine for the last week
and a very inconvenient topic.
Abortions in the Soviet Union.
Minus one paid member,
people avoid discussing this topic.

Please read, share and don't be silent.

I began writing threads on Twitter in 2022. The full-scale invasion of 🇺🇦 by 🇷🇺 forced a reckoning that I had avoided until my 40s. My threads were often uncomfortably personal. But they helped organize my thoughts and, unexpectedly, fostered meaningful connections with people across the globe. 🧵

Morning from Kyiv!
The night was calm here.
I slept.
The morning greeted us with thick grey colours.
I wonder if November has others.
Let me brighten it a bit.

It was a bit emotional day.
But after an uneasy morning
with attacks
it is usually like that.

Anyway, I visited an absolutely
amazing exhibition today.
One of my favorite Ukrainian artists.
It is just a teaser.
I have no mood, no anything
to edit photos or videos.
Later-later.
