1_I think about slow violence a lot,and this short piece for @IWM_Vienna is about it in many ways,as well as the very immediate violence too. Thinking about mushroom picking I think of what is not accessible, not possible, and what is now deadly dangerous. iwm.at/publication/iwmpost-a…

yet again @engelhardt_x looks at the heart of russian imperialism, taking apart its mechanisms, a must-read thefunambulist.net/magazine/…
My overview of Russian colonial warfare and militant techniques developed against it in @TheFunambulist_. From the invasion of Afghanistan to the occupation of Ichkeria and the ongoing war in Ukraine, I recall decolonial struggles successfully weaponising Russian army bottlenecks

While in St Andrews, I also visited the show 'Places We Love: Art and the Ukrainian East' @StABotanics. Incredible, thought-provoking work (including by @DaryaTsymbalyuk) and beautifully displayed in the botanic gardens. Don’t miss it if you’re nearby! bit.ly/3A6qZCJ

A body that lives through a war is an uncomfortable body. Some thoughts on what my body reminded me about academia and knowledge when on February 24th Russia escalated its long war on Ukraine @NatureHumBehav nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

and if you indeed would like to help Ukraine in this, we put together some points you can use to contact your government rep. every voice matters docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Just now — Zelensky says will go over leaders’ heads, appeal to ordinary folks 4 no-fly zone: “It’s needed to stop war … genocide. If world stands idly by it will lose itself. Forever. There are unconditional values. The same 4 everyone. [The value of] life first and foremost.”
hello, friends! this is my friend Nastia, whom I met during the revolution in Kyiv in 2014. Nastia is trying to raise 50 000 USD to order 100 life vests for fighters in Ukraine (1x500) (she secured a deal already). Could you please donate to her either in USD or in EUR?

1) A friend on the Polish border is purchasing things for the military which you can't buy in Ukraine and shipping everything across the border. This is a grassroots initiative which is often more efficient in providing for people on the ground directly. Please consider donating,
