    I am finding it harder and harder to cope. My home town Kakhovka is being pummeled. I can’t explain how much it hurts to see the destruction. Have been floored for a few days now.

    Replying to @elonmusk
    I am from Kherson oblast, about 70% of the people from my home town Kakhovka had to flee due to repressions, torture, etc. So do fuck off with your ignorant musings, Elon.

    In an airport now, and a russian woman made a really nasty comment about my autistic son, obv. didnt realise I’d understand the language. I told her how I felt about her comment. She and her companion just laughed at me. Wtf is wrong with these people?

    Today feels extra surreal, my kid is ill and I feel drained. Forced β€˜referendum’ in my home town today. They will pay for it all. НСнавидТу.

    My mum just now β€œWe are happy because we are at home and we are alive. You have two children and they need you, so stop worrying about us.” The most heart-breaking thing she’s ever said to me.

    This is settler colonialism, happening right now. During a war of aggression and atrocity Russians come to Ukraine and claim property on illegally-occupied lands (here Mariupol).
