President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Going from smiling with his soldiers during a meal a few weeks ago, to the emotion of absolute devastation when visiting the horrific war crime that is Bucha. Slava Ukraïni 🇺🇦🌻
And my next post in support of Ukraine. I really love ancient history, so this site is a little extra special to me.
Next site, the National Historic and Archaeological Reserve “Olvia” in Mykolaiv Oblast. It’s located in the south of Ukraine on the Black Sea, and it is the remains of a Polis (a Greek city state) that was founded in the 6th century BC. The city was very important for trade & also as a cultural center & as a military site. The reserve was established in 1927 to preserve the ancient structures and the archaeological heritage of the site.

And another post in support of Ukraine.
Next site, the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve in Odesa Oblast. It’s almost 194 square miles of territory. The delta also covers part of Romania. The reserve is believed to be the largest swampland reserve in Europe. Part of the reserve is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. There’s hundreds of different species of rare plants, animals, and fish in the reserve. The main animal inhabitants are birds, but there’s also over 40 species of mammals, 100 different kinds of fish, & reptiles & insect life.

And another post in support of Ukraine.
We haven’t visited a city in a while, so tonight we’re visiting Izmail in Odesa Oblast. It dates from the 12th century when the fortress of Izmail was built by Genoese merchants (it was known as Licovrissi, then) on the Danube River. It passed to several different rulers over the centuries, but in 1484, the area was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. Its current name comes from the name of an Ottoman Grand Vizier. By the 16th century, it had become the main fortress of the Ottoman Empire in the area. Eventually, it was taken by muscovy a few times and also ended up being part of Moldavia and Romania. After WWII, it ended up being part of muscovy again. The monument to Alexander Suvorov, who was the “russian” commander who captured the fortress in Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1792, was taken down in November 2022 & has been placed in storage until officials decide where to put it permanently. Maybe it should stay in storage.

Actaeon, in the process of transforming into a deer, is set upon by his hounds. Apulian red-figure skyphos, artist unknown; ca. 400-350 BCE. Now in the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe, Germany. Photo credit: Carole Raddato.
Here’s another post in support of Ukraine.
Next site, Government House in Lviv, Lviv Oblast. It is an architectural monument of national significance and was built in the 1870s. The address it is located at has changed a few times over the years. During the Austro-Hungarian period, when the building was built, the street was called Governor’s Valley Street. Later, during the interwar period, it was called Charnetsky Street. During Nazi occupation, it was District Strasse. Under the soviets it was called soviet Street. Its current address is 18 Vynnychenka Street. It was also used by each group as a government building. Today, it houses the Lviv Regional Council and the Lviv Regional State Administration.

I also add quotes of President Zelenskyy to my Twitter thread. This is the one I added to today’s post.
I finished my book, The Zelenskyy Effect, today. So here’s another Volodymyr Zelenskyy quote from this book, which I highly recommend.

And my next post in support of Ukraine.
Next site, Antoniyevi Pechery (St. Anthony’s Caves) in Chernihiv Oblast. The caves are about 40 feet deep & and there are four levels. Antony of Kyiv established a monastery in the caves during Kyivan Rus times. He also helped establish the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv that the priests affiliated with the Moscow Patriarchate were recently removed from. In 1239, the spiritual development of the Chernihiv monastery stopped due to a Mongol-Tatar invasion. In 1649, a reconstruction project started to restore the cave monastery. The caves are now part of the Chernihiv Ancient Historical and Cultural Reserve.

You know you are just a hypocrite so what they believe that shit … how does that affect you …. You are a fan of someone else that will never meet you or care for your opinion as much as you feel they would… you are one in a thousand and if they should lose you as a fan you think they’ll stay awake looking for you.
So yeah that shit is crazy cooky shit….. ignore it
Judgmental much
Like who are you to talk and before you say it’s an opinion

So can take it don’t dish it out

Saying you don’t think a couple looks happy is one thing. Saying that their relationship is fake, that it’s just PR, that the kids are fake, calling the woman a whore, etc. is not having an opinion. It’s called bullying.
When people start harassing the woman on social media, calling her names, falsely accusing her of crimes, it’s not an opinion.
When people refuse to accept reality because they can’t stand the fact that a stranger got a girlfriend or started a family, it’s not an opinion.
Tom, Ben, Chris and all the others are strangers. They’re not family members, they’re not friends. We don’t get to have an opinion about their private lives. They are grown adults and can do what they want. You don’t like it? Deal with it.
I know they don’t know me. I know I’ll probably never meet them. I know that being a fan of someone doesn’t mean I’m entitled to get a say on how they live their lives. I’m also pretty sure they much prefer fans like me than the ones hurling insults at their partner, that hope they stay single forever and criticize everything they do. Because that’s not how true fans behave.
All of this!!! ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
And now for my next post in support of Ukraine. (Again, this is from my Twitter account, which is why I reference the thread.)
Next site, the Museum of Bells in Lutsk in Volyn Oblast. It’s located in Lubart’s Castle, which we visited earlier in the thread. The museum has bells from the 17th to 20th centuries in it. In addition to church bells, the museum also has school, rail, post, and ship bells in its collection. There’s over 90 bells in the museum. The largest bells weigh more than half a ton, and the oldest bell dates from 1647. Bells from that long ago are rare in Ukraine as they were melted down to make bullets during the Cossack wars. The oldest bell in the collection is from the time of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, who I’ve talked about before. He was a Hetman of the Zaporizhzhian Sich. I love to share the pics of him & Zelenskyy holding the Bulova, which has become a symbol of the President of Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine

Looks like the "she's a famewhore but we never see her" is common across fandoms.
Zawe is not a famewhore, never has been. She barely posts things on social media anymore, we hardly ever see her, she doesn't give interviews unless she has something to promote and she never talks about her private life.
As for the baby, if you don't know the paps are there, you can't stop them from taking pictures. I'm sure neither of them were pleased about the Paris pictures, but they also know it's not something they can fully prevent. So far, they've done a great job of keeping their son's privacy.
That anon should also know that all buildings have secondary exits. You can't simply have one, it's against fire codes. Zawe could have left through the staff door, there's bound to be one.
I bet this racist moron was part of the tinhaters who said the baby's skin colour was too light for him to be Zawe's child when the Paris pap pics came out.
This troll should know not to try stating “as fact” something that can be easily disproven using Google Street View.
Since when have tinhats been good at research? You know how good they are at ignoring everything that doesn’t fit their narrative.
