Just heading to work this morning, listening to POTUS channel on SIRIUSXM when @jaredgoyette.bsky.social was talking. I knew you had moved on from doing stuff in the Twin Cities - good to hear you moving up and doing some good work in Ukraine.

Reading about Trump’s plan to bleed a devastated post-war Ukraine dry with colonial “agreements” forced down Ukrainians’ throats while I huddle in the bathroom of my Kyiv apt, listening to one distant explosion after another. Ru drone attack. Ukraine has always been caught between imperial empires.

Trump doesn't care one way or the other about Ukraine, but he does want to come out of negotiations as the "victor," delivering on a campaign promise and getting whatever accolades follow. If Trump views Putin as the main obstacle, he will start progressively taking stronger actions against him.

My first piece to 🇧🇷 media in @folha.com with Marina Slhessarenko Barreto.
I highlighted how critical reporting of the war management has increased in Ukraine, pointing to work by UA journalists. I try to spotlight 🇺🇦 civil society and efforts to resist Ru and push for internal accountability.

It's telling when writers like Anatol Lieven talk about "constitutional amendments guaranteeing the linguistic and cultural rights of Russians and Russian-speakers in Ukraine" while saying nothing about the linguistic and cultural rights of Ukrainain speakers in Russia or the territory it occupies.

Today, I am editing a 🔥 Oksana Zabuzhko speech as translated by Hanna Leliv! Such a good combo. I just try to stay out of the way and make helpful suggestions and small tweaks where needed. Looking forward to seeing it published.
If you are a Ukraine supporter and don't know Zabuzhko, fix that!

I spoke with Ukrainian soldier, writer, and activist Artem Chapey about the new English translation of his book "The Ukraine" and its aim to portray a humanistic, nuanced picture of Ukraine and Ukrainians — showing the good and the bad, "but with love."

Artem Chapeye on the search for authentic Ukraine: ‘It doesn't have to be a ‘propaganda’ story’

Thinking about Maksym Kryvtsov, the Ukrainian solider-poet just killed at the front. I'm new to Ukrainian. Speak it like a toddler. But I was so captivated by the film adaption of his poem "He moved to Bucha," last year. I watched it for hours. Line by line, with a dictionary.

COVID thoughts: I have bursts of energy when the mental fog lifts and and I feel like I can tackle so much — the daily work I'm behind in, the emails and messages I need to respond to, and then maybe those creative projects I've neglected.
Alas, these moments only last about 40 mins. Then nap.

“When the war began, he picked up a machine gun for the first time... and this enables the international community to understand that the people fighting for Ukraine are ordinary civilian men and women who decided to fight for their right to live in a peaceful country."
Ukrainian novelist, programmer, and professor Maksym Petrenko, missing since last summer while serving in the Armed Forces, is confirmed deceased.
He joins a long list of literary and cultural figures to fall victim to Russia’s full-scale invasion.

I went to a medical clinic in Kyiv to see a doctor for a swollen lymph node. They gave me a blood test and an ultrasound and charged me $50. Total. As an American, I'm very confused.

I wondered who goes to the metro during air raids in Kyiv now. Many of my Ukrainian friends have stopped going, preferring instead to follow the "2 wall" rule, or keeping 2 walls between you and the window. But the metro was still pretty full last night, with lots of families with small children.

At least in Minneapolis you know when the weekly tornado siren is going to go off. In Kyiv it just seems to happen randomly.

Ukrainian poet Kateryna Kalytko's at the Frankfurt Book Fair:.
"Ukrainian voices that are now heard globally, in fact, overcome the silence and the 'Ukrainian fatigue' which has naturally begun to rise, and this speaking is also a great act of love for each other."

Twitter has never been about traffic for journalists.
I wrote a few threads over on Mastodon months ago about why I thought journalists were staying on Twitter. I'll summarise them here.
My thesis is that Twitter is a 'sticky' activity for journalists, but not for the reasons people observing from outside thought.
