Heading back 🇺🇦
Mission #1 #Odesa
where I'm super super proud to be working with @longtstanding.bsky.social's amazing book #StrongAsUs 1 _ teaching kids #resilience against Orc missiles ✊😉
After this - #Kharkiv 🫡

See you on the other side
Glory to Ukraine 💙💛

-5 in my village this morning 🇬🇧🥶
Bird feast of seeds_ chopped sultanas_ cheese bits & lard 😇👍
ALWAYS IMPORTANT _ a water supply in iced up conditions as well - don't forget 😉

& thinking this time next week
I'll be working in much less than -5! 🇺🇦 🥶🥶

(ALWAYS chop sultanas btw or birds can't digest)

Let's all be absolutely clear on this hard fact :
In #Venezuela it is #Americans who will be the #insurgents

#Stryi (L'viv raion) #Ukraine - Christmas Eve
a feast is set at an empty table

not for those who lost their lives
but for those whose Fate is still unknown
for their families who cannot celebrate
but only wait for news...

If or when we do not / cannot pray
We give Strength & Hope 💙💛🙏

#Ukraine has issued a postage stamp
honouring Karel Kučera _ a #Czech volunteer who fought against #Putin's invasion

He was killed in battle close to #Bakhmut in 2023 🇨🇿 🇺🇦 🫡

I won't ever forget #Bakhmut or how the people there were trying to survive _ That place broke my fukin heart 💔🥺😠

This is what #courage looks like

John Le Carre quote ✍️

"He died from a surfeit of opinions" 😄

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
speaks to #Ukrainian people
on the Day of Dignity & Freedom

He warns this winter will be the hardest
and the possibility of losing a strategic partner

& he tells us that in this hardest of times
we must stick together

Words we needed to hear & should listen to 🇺🇦🙏🫡

George Orwell's #NineteenEightyFour had 3 competing global powers
Oceania - Eurasia - Eastasia
All constantly allying or de-friending each other

Controlling public attitudes meant brain-washing resident 'proles' which power was this week's enemy

Does any of this sound familiar? 🤔
