Tyumen (!!!) oil refinery, deep cleaning plant for diesel fuel is hit by Ukrainian drones. FYI, Tyumen is in Asia. So, these drones are transcontinental :)

This is the most symbolic view that I saw in the last four years, I guess. Moscow is under heavy drone attack this morning; this burning sign says: “Domodedovo” - that’s the place hosting one of Moscow’s largest International Airports. The last time I left Russia, in January 2022, I left via that airport.

I suggest that the entire parade should be held in electronic format. It gives endless opportunities.

Today I ran into a condition that everyone here is probably familiar with: what I call a brain melt (“poplava”). No point beating around the bush – my mental health has been on a roller coaster, albeit well within the boundaries of psychiatry, since 2015, when I lost my first pregnancy. I developed a full-blown clinical depression, and for years I stubbornly refused to treat it with medication because, well, wasn’t I supposed to be strong enough to handle it on my own? By the time I finally agreed to antidepressants, I was in terrible shape. I’d gone through a second pregnancy loss, then had a baby, started supporting the whole family with a full-time job when my son was only three months old, and then COVID lockdowns hit. In hindsight, I’m incredibly lucky I was already on antidepressants when the full-scale invasion began. During the first two years of the war, I burned through every reserve I’d built up over the previous years – mental, physical, and financial. Then, in 2024, I simply hit a wall. I became deeply immersed in the reality of what was happening on the front line, in the occupied territories, and in the filtration camps. A criminal case was opened against me in Russia, my bank accounts and PayPal were shut down, and the Russians even identified my home in Belgium. It was… eventful. That’s when I had my first real, proper poplava. For the first time in my life, I developed severe headaches, obsessive thoughts that went round and round in circles, and, simply because the state itself became unbearable, suicidal thoughts. Thankfully, I seem to have been blessed with a fundamentally resilient mind. I recognized what was happening, went to my doctor and psychologist, and together we figured out what to do next. I know my level of stress isn’t comparable to that of people who live under constant shelling. But because of the work I do, it’s still rather a lot. It is just a different kind of stress – highly unpredictable. You never know where the next blow is going to come from. I’ve never used any hard medication, thankfully, so my mind has always been clear. I drink alcohol very rarely, I don’t smoke, I don’t use drugs, I stay physically active, and I try to get enough sleep. All of that helps. Over the past year, I’ve managed to get my mental state back to something close to what it was before the war and, in many ways, I’ve finally found a sense of inner peace. That said, these days almost any stressful event still triggers the same pattern: looping thoughts and headaches. I know the signs now, so after something stressful happens, I gently start checking in with myself. “Hang on… how many times have you thought this exact thought already? How many times have you sent that message? Are you getting unnecessarily combative in the comments? How’s your head? Maybe an ibuprofen? Maybe some passionflower?” Usually that’s enough, and I can get back to work. Still, I have a feeling that one day I’ll end up living in the woods, praying to a wagon wheel, with the internet permanently switched off. But only after the war is over. I guess I owe you all money for today’s therapy session.

Знатоки психологии котов, подскажите. Дано: кот, 12-14 лет. Супер-ласковый, но достался нам от явно непутевого хозяина. Приходит гладиться и мурчит, но при попытке взять его на диван или кровать – паникует и убегает. На руки тоже не особо жаждет. Мужчин с бородой боится.

I would note again that Ukrainians abroad are not burning down Russian cultural centers or Russian schools worldwide. Even though they certainly have plenty of reasons to do so. But “anti-Zionists” (sic!) burning ambulances in London just because they have a Star of David on it – that’s always on the table. That’s why I don’t believe in any “anti-Zionism.” It’s simply antisemitism that has once again become acceptable. I myself, to put it mildly, am not thrilled with Israel’s policies in recent times. And many people aren’t thrilled with U.S. policies either. So what – are people burning anything American in Europe? Not really.

Valuysky District, Belgorod Region. A woman decided to drive around the destroyed bridge by cutting across the fields. I have a lot of questions for her. For example, why isn’t the child wearing a seatbelt? Or why is she behind the wheel after having tea with cognac – and then casually admits it on video for the whole internet to hear. Or what they’re still doing in that area in the first place. But, of course, those are all rhetorical questions. I’ll say it again: the funniest song in history has to be Sting’s “I Hope the Russians Love Their Children Too.”

Journalist: Does NATO have a backup plan in case the negotiations fail and the supply of American weapons to Ukraine stops? Rutte: I don’t have one. I don’t think we should be thinking about a Plan B. “I don’t think we should be thinking about a Plan B” – just the kind of phrase you want to hear from the head of an organization that’s supposed to be in charge of, damn it, security. Obviously, Plan B is that the Ukrainians will somehow manage on their own, maybe the Scandinavians will help too This looks BAD.

I have come across this video from Kherson, and translated it for you. There is nothing violent, nothing horrible. Just a Kherson citizen going through the empty streets in the city center, once vivid and crowded, for 4 minutes, and thinking out loud. He meets no people in these 4 minutes.

If every police officer in the world were like this one in Zaporizhzhia who carried an injured child to the hospital in his arms, then ACAB would stand for “All Cops Are Buddies.” As for those Russians who chose to support this war, even with just a single word – I wish them to experience physically what they caused to this boy. P.S. Little Sasha is going to be okay.

A Russian FPV, apparently, tried to strike a flying stork, but the stork was no fool and performed a break and dive. At first, I thought it was AI, because I didn’t even realize storks were capable of that. But after a very long analysis of stork behavior and other birds’ flight patterns (with the same AI 😅), I eventually concluded that it was real footage. Although storks have almost no natural aerial predators, most birds have an instinctive response to the situation “there is a predator above me,” and it can manifest as an emergency dive to escape danger.

I can’t help it: the song «Поколение дворников» (Generation of Janitors) starts playing in my head every time I see these images from Russian Tuapse. I had to take it out of my head and sync it. (Translation) …They stand like steps, While the burning oil Pours from floor to floor, And somewhere they seem to hear singing. And who am I to tell them That it’s a mirage? We kept silent like puppies, While everything that could be sold Was being traded, Including our children. And the poisoned rain Falls into a rotting bay. And we still stare at the screen, And we’re still waiting for the news. And our fathers will never lie to us. They don’t know how to lie, Like a wolf doesn’t know how to eat meat, Like a bird doesn’t know how to fly. (Aquarium, 1987)
