#antiwar
Today I went to the anti-war protest with this poster (I’m not in Russia, so I’m ok)
I usually don’t explain meaning of my art, but imo it’s necessary here
The Sun means peace and pairs of arms trying to catch it show how badly people want it. The growths of bloody wings is a symbol of sufferings and martyrdom, and bloody tears are a symbol of loss. I think I don’t have to explain what flying buildings’ pieces and usage of red mean.
Did you know that Jojo Rabbit was banned from release in Russia? Now it makes so much sense.
One of my favourite movies ever.
Also this quote from Rainer Maria Rilke
“Let everything happen to you:
beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final.”
Today, May 15th 2022, is the 74th Nakba Day. It is a day for rememberance, mourning, and resistance for Palestinians
Non Palestinians, please use this day to be loud about your solidarity with us. Today more than other days please use your platforms and your voices to amplify the voices of Palestinians and condemn Israel on every platform you can… Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
Seek out Palestinian journalists and activists who are talking about Israel’s crimes. People like Mohammed El Kurd and Muna El Kurd, Eye On Palestine, Abier Khatib, Mariam Barghouti…
Supporting Palestinian journalists and activists is especially vital in the wake of Shireen Abu Akleh’s assassination at the hands of the occupation forces just days earlier.
Please check out the BDS website for resources. There are webinars and online rallies and ways you can protest online from your own home. And try to learn more about the different kinds and of boycotts you can take part in, as well as how and why these boycotts are important. The site also has lists of things you can easily boycott including action plans.

DecolonizePalestine is another amazing resource. If you don’t know much about the crisis in Palestine, please educate yourself so you can educate others.
If you’re able to protest in person, this post wonderfully put together by @soullsword also has information on Nakba Day protests all around the world.
And donate if you can! To organisations like:
- Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), which provides emergency medical services for Palestinian children.
- United Palestine Appeal (UPA) - an organization supporting Palestinian socio-economic development
If any Palestinians have anything to add, please feel free
My friends from all countries.
About a your ago I created the post, where I described two of my worst nightmares. And now in our progressive and tolerant society we facing one of them. I’m not in the middle of this chaos, but my relatives do.
I want to get into vacuum and not to hear, not to see, I can’t believe it. I can represent my current state of mind by the words from my fav song: “Please, God, wake me (us)”
Just try to believe that IT will end soon, that people won’t die from bullets, hunger and inflation. Please, dear Americans, Europeans, Africans and Australians: don’t hate Russians. We have lots of friends and relatives in Ukraine and very scared too. We’re not the same as our f***ing government.
