@strategywoman I check in every morning to see how your night has been. First hand accounts are so important. So much more real than newspaper reports

4:17 pm in #Kyiv Son tells me not to worry about it. I am not. Just an interesting observation for you. For some reason, every time I write: - Ok, we have an air raid alert, a few people unfollow. Sorry. Some of you might tired of them. But it's my air raid alert reality. Thank you to those who are here (when air raid alerts are on and off). I'm still waiting for the off sound. Hope these MIGs will go home soon.

This is a photo of the dog from the video I posted earlier. The dog is from the Kherson region. The board he was on washed ashore near Hryhorivka (Odesa) 140 km away from Kherson. Perhaps someone will recognize the poor pup so he can be reunited with his owner. The pup is currently being treated in the Odessa clinic, Animal SOS Odessa. #dogrescue #Kakhovka #Kherson #KhersonRegion #Odesa

Hi everyone, I don't know how many of my followers are real people who care about Ukraine and how many are bots. I would like to address the real people who choose to stand with Ukraine in these dark times. Could you please try retweeting as many of my posts about the Kherson region as you feel comfortable with? The world needs to see what is taking place there! The world needs to see the devastation Russia has inflicted on these poor people, their pets, and the wildlife in the region. Please help spread the word! Many thanks in advance! Thank you for your support! Natalka 💙💛

@strategywoman Your tweets change me. I can't ignore your very personal experiences of living in Ukraike right now. You make it real. Please keep posting.

11:57 am in #Kyiv I do know (know) that my tweets won't change anything. I'm not Elon Musk, whose dots got tens of thousands of shares. I'm an ordinary woman from Ukraine whose country suffers daily from russian aggression. I cannot read without tears that people are evacuated from their homes because the russians blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam. That people are asked not to leave their pets and save them from drowning in floodwaters... Please don't ask me to stay strong. I will do it anyway. We need to stop this ru madness.

@Donna_ashworth I needed to read that. Thank you.

From ‘loss’ my love to all having one of those days xxxx

@AuschwitzMuseum God bless you Ewa. I'm sorry this happened to you.

@ElenaShostak1 Beautiful

The Independence Monument is a victory column located on Maydan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) #inKyiv, commemorating the Independence of Ukraine in 1991. Rebellious Maydan, all our revolutions were here.

@AuschwitzMuseum God bless her. She looks so sad. I'm sorry this happened to you.

@ElenaShostak1 Beautiful. I'll visit someday

Here are some moments from an ordinary day without a rad air alert. #inKyiv

@BeesInTheBonnet I dont like patterns printed in columns so sometimes you have to read 3 or 4 lines for one row. One printed line per knitting row then I can use a ruler on the page to keep track

Hey knitters, I'd love to know: what are your pet peeves about patterns (other than mistakes)? I'm thinking about how I write mine and ways to make them better, and I'd love to know what makes patterns harder to use or less accessible for you.

@UnwantedGuest3 Trying nattokinase for the first time here. Feeling hopeful, fool that I am.

I get fed up with myself for trying new #longcovid “cures”. I hate how I swivel when there is the slightest suggestion of a new miracle. My bathroom cabinet is full of useless, ££ “cures”. I hate how desperate I have become. That said I’m going to give nicotine patches a go. 🤦‍♂️

@OleksandraZubal Happy birthday 🎂. Are there any Interesting Ukrainian birthday traditions, what will you be doing today?

Good morning, I’m from Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Emi turns 7 today. She truly lives in historical times. She is Ukrainian and is strong as we all are. Love you, my dear daughter, be brave ❤️

@AuschwitzMuseum Same age as I am. Bless you Hertha

1 March 1897 | A German Jewish woman, Hertha Rabinowitz, was born in Berlin. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 4 March 1943 in a transport of 1,750 Jews deported from Berlin. She did not survive.

@verba_nastya How exciting

I have so cool news! But I need some time to put my thoughts together and breath 😁 then I’ll tell you my wonderful people 💔

@strategywoman Still here, still listening

7:53 pm in #Kyiv A lot of talks and fears about next week. Big war anniversary. I don’t know what to expect. So I’m living each moment. Now going to write. Oh, dear world. Hope you’re still listening. Ukraine needs you.

@verba_nastya Happy birthday. I hope you get your drone. Or maybe more than one?

It’s my birthday 🥳 I’m turning 30 today! I guess this is a perfect age since you still look good but had enough time to make all stupid mistakes in your life😄 Please, congratulate me by donating to drone Mavic 3! secure.wayforpay.com/donate/nastyav… 1/

@strategywoman I wish you a restful day

10:46 am in #Kyiv Cloudy morning from Ukraine! So yesterday 71 missiles & 20 drones were launched to our country. 61 missiles & all the drones were shot down. My plans for today? No plans. I just want to rest & have tons of #warcoffee.

@SumakovaPolina Good morning. I hope you have a peaceful day

Good morning my dear friend☕️ I wish you a good day🇺🇦❤️💪SLAVA UKRAINE ❤️

@SumakovaPolina Lovely cat. She must find the noise so confusing. Animals don't understand the noise and disruption of war. (Most humans don't understand war either)

I have bad news🥺 because of the explosions, my cat feels bad. She is already 10 years old. I will go with her to the veterinarian
