Can't wait for mine!
Ukrainian artisans are stitching, carving and creating through air raids and freezing power outages. Buying their work isnβt just shopping, itβs a lifeline through a brutal winter and war. Support @Ukrainian_dolls
Mind-boggling how you can juggle all the artistic intent and physical operations that result in your beautiful pieces! π«
JusThe been stopped by a neighbour- βdo you call it work? Itβs enjoyable?β Yes it bloody is! Hard, physical precarious work full of worry, long hours and 7 days a week. Sad inditement of work being penance or suffering, an excuse to treat and pay folk badly. π€

Thank you for your good energy, @OckersM xoxox
Wise words indeed. @oleg_veretskiy
For every one of us who supports Ukraine, in whatever way you can. This is a message that I want you all to feel and understand.
You make a difference xx
I thought immediately of Tales of the Wandering Mists!

A massive starling murmuration was captured flowing dynamically against a purple twilight sky. This mesmerizing phenomenon occurs because each individual bird constantly mirrors the speed and direction of its seven closest neighbors, allowing the flock to react instantly and move as a single, fluid entity.
I'm trying to find the name of the documentary that somebody posted yesterday, maybe you? I think it's about the reality of Russian society and economy in the outlying regions.
@AdrianP_doc
Search found these:
Several documentaries and investigative features that focus on the economy and everyday life across Russia's outlying provinces:
* WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS: The Russia They Don't Show on TV (NO.Media / Novaya Gazeta Europe): An in-depth investigative documentary exploring everyday reality in provincial Russia away from Moscow and St. Petersburg, focusing on poverty, deteriorating infrastructure, and how rural working-class communities navigate economic strain and the domestic fallout of the war.
* Russiaβs Most Isolated Economy: Frontier Capitalism (Moconomy): Examines the remote Kamchatka region and the Russian Far East, focusing on how isolated provincial economies survived Soviet collapse and cope with modern federal neglect through resource harvesting and frontier commerce.
* Generation Z in Russia (Arte): Explores how young people living outside Russia's major metropolitan bubbles navigate regional stagnation, military mobilization, and state propaganda.
* Why the Richest Land on Earth Still Heats With Wood (True Russia / independent web release): Focuses on the paradox of resource-rich outlying regions (such as Chita in Eastern Siberia), examining why vast natural energy reserves fail to translate into basic domestic utilities and heating for local residents.
* Life in Russia's Harshest and Loneliest Land (Independent / Global Explorer series): Documents subsistence life, seasonal labor, and survival in extreme regions like Yakutia and Oymyakon, focusing on how provincial logistics and local supply chains function under severe isolation.
* The Russia That Remains (Current Time TV / Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty): A recurring series investigating life across mono-towns (monogoroda), tracing how small industrial hubs in the Urals and Siberia are hollowed out by inflation, sanctions, and demographic drain.

Didn't do it for the rewards ofc x
There has been so much destruction of Ukrainian literature and art and it's important to support creation over destruction.
I love that beautiful things can be made with the help of friends.
