@MargoGontar Thank you - good to hear from you again. And wishing you a quick recovery. I'm curious about your plans for trying another platform. Please DM me when you announce your next steps.

Thanks you all guys who joined our quick swearing session today ! so cool to see everyone ✨ sorry it’s a quick one - still recovering so taking it slow ❤️‍🩹

@aliciaandrz Mom reflexes - a well-honed set of skills, useful in a lot of circumstances. Nice work.

amazing story: my family & I were at a petting zoo & a goat escaped. instinct took over & I ran after him, caught him, & brought him back to his pen. don’t ever tell me people with PhDs are useless. I’m basically a farmer now.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.

Rescue workers have recovered the body of a 3-year-old boy from under the rubble of a destroyed building. Emergency and search-and-rescue operations are still ongoing at the site of the strike. According to preliminary reports, 31 people were injured. In total, 12 people have been rescued.

"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy." Thomas Merton (Jan. 31, 1915 - Dec. 10, 1968)

Donetsk is Ukraine. Luhansk is Ukraine. Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine. Kherson is Ukraine. Crimea is Ukraine.

Today’s prevailing mentality tends to value existence if it produces wealth or success, forgetting that the human being is always a limited creature with needs. We therefore hide or remove the fragility of the #Elderly. Yet, growing old is part of the marvel of creation. If we have the courage to acknowledge it, embrace it, and care for it, this fragility is a bridge towards heaven.

Her name was Angelina. The balloon behind her back says “Daddy’s and Mommy’s little beauty”. And still, many people here babble about “purely military targets” in Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine

russian attacks on ukraine have doubled since trump took office.

Ukrainian children are being displayed online like products. This must stop! The Russian occupation administration has launched a chilling online catalog of Ukrainian orphans, displayed openly on the web. These children are presented like products in an e-commerce store, sortable by age, gender, eye and hair color, health status, and even personality traits. Their faces are shown in clear, uncovered photos, with no evidence that consent was obtained from legal guardians to share this sensitive information. This isn’t a new tactic. Since 2014, Ukrainian children have appeared in Russian adoption databases. However, since 2022, the practice has become widespread and systematic. Initially, Russian authorities tried to cover their tracks—shutting down registries and erasing references. Now, the pretense is gone. The official website of the so-called "ministry" of the Luhansk occupation administration brazenly displays this data for all to see. These children are not “war orphans.” They had names, families, and Ukrainian citizenship. Many lost their parents to shelling. Others were forcibly taken and re-registered with new documents. Now, they’re being matched with Russian families, treated like animals in a pet adoption database. Let’s be clear: This is not adoption. This is not care. This is digital child trafficking, masked as bureaucracy. President putin shows no willingness to return these children—but he’s eager to exploit them for "trading". He has streamlined the adoption process so drastically that a Ukrainian child can now be effectively “ordered” online. With a single click, a child is stripped of their identity, issued a russian passport, and subjected to ideological control. Worse still, this platform exposes children to grave dangers, including: - Sexual and labor exploitation - Human trafficking - Illegal adoption - Forced changes to their name, citizenship, language, and cultural identity - Lifelong psychological trauma - Potential trafficking for organ harvesting We have archived the website and secured the full database. We are working tirelessly to identify every child listed, and we won’t stop until they are brought home. At @SaveukraineUs , we’ve rescued over 750 children. We’ve seen their faces, witnessed their fear, and heard their heartbreaking words: “I thought no one would come for me.” But this crisis is bigger than any single organization. It’s a challenge to the entire world. We urgently call on: ❗️ Governments to pressure russia to return these children and bring them home. ❗️ International organizations to recognize these acts as crimes against humanity. ❗️ Media to expose the grim reality of “adoption” under occupation. ❗️ Individuals to speak out and refuse to look away. No child should be reduced to a clickable profile. No child should be stolen, renamed, or raised to forget their identity. Join us in bringing them home. Help us safeguard their future.

“These children are not ‘war orphans.’ They had names, families, and Ukrainian citizenship,” said @MykolaKuleba. “Now, they’re being matched with Russian families, treated like animals in a pet adoption database. This is a digital child trafficking.”

The death toll in Kyiv rises to 15 by the evening, more than 100 people were injured, dozens of them children. A new air alert has just been declared all over Ukraine

⚡️Update: 16 killed, 159 injured in mass Russian strike on Kyiv. "Unfortunately, the worst predictions regarding the number of people who may be trapped under the rubble have been confirmed," head of the city's military administration said. kyivindependent.com/massive-fires-…

Last night, a residential building was destroyed in my district in Kyiv. At the same time, one of the buildings of my university, Kyiv School of Economics, was heavily damaged. Death is walking around us very closely, and every night can be the last one for every Ukrainian.

Some ruminations on the research process, particularly finding a space/building on exiting research and contextualizing your research questions- from @raulpacheco

My next blog post will be on strategies to "find the gap in the literature", or like I've started to assert in my teaching and my writing, "creating/finding a space". Early ruminations of this issue in this blog post: raulpacheco.org/2025/06/gap-sp…

When Victoria Amelina found the diary of V. Vakulenko (executed by russian soldiers during the occupation of Kharkiv region) she spoke of a new "Executed Renaissance", again russia, like in the 30s, kills Ukrainian artists. More than 200 have been killed by russia since 2022.

💔 TIME magazine’s latest cover spotlights the story of Ukrainian children forcibly taken to Russia.

Thank you, @SenatorWicker. Ukrainian children are non-negotiable — they must be returned and reunited with their families. The U.S. must increase pressure on Russia to make this happen. Read: time.com/7302345/ukrain…
