Ukrainians want peace more than anyone else in the world. We are just afraid that this new plan will lead to an even greater escalation of the war. I don't want women in Poland and Estonia to have to fight on the front lines too. Help us protect Europe.

Ukrainian defenders are the same civil people as you and me. They took arms both voluntarily and forcibly at the same time: because it was their response to russian aggression.

You touch me.
Especially when you laugh. There’s a tiny hook right in the middle of my chest. And I catch onto you with that little hook. It holds.
I touch you. I say: I only need sex from you, nothing else. You laugh. And when you laugh, you touch me even more.
I touch your hair. It’s soft.⬇️

I’m watching in real time as ballistic missiles fly toward Kyiv.
The monitoring channel says there are three targets, they’re about to hit.
My family at home is in the hallway. I need to wait a minute, the missiles will land, and they will text: “wow, that was a hit!”
So the hallway still exists.

Because of you, I trim my cuticles, dye my grey roots (every month!) and buy a new bra. Not as a set with panties, but don’t push it. The panties are fine. Because of you, I smear blue serum and do cheek-lifting exercises in an app, from bottom to top.

I will love you forever.
Not the kind of forever people usually imagine —
not some miserable five hundred years in a crappy little house on top of a mountain.
No. A real forever.
The kind of forever that feels like a bus ride —
route eighteen, across the bridge from the right bank to the left,
