This beautiful, personal essay by the writer @MaxKaliyev is a must read: "It is only now that I feel I have no choice but to create but in the only way I know how..." interintellect.com/writing-about-…
My hometown standing strong and beautiful!
Our beautiful Kyiv comes back to live. Subway is to run, restaurants to open, least important check-points are removed to make traffic easier. Mayors asks ppl not to come at least for a week, but they return. Border police confirms more ppl come back then leave Ukraine now
Heard a joke from someone living in Odesa, a city in Ukraine renowned for its unique sense of humor and currently preparing for a Russian assault and siege. "A country with a chicken on its national emblem can never defeat a country with a fork on it"
Nice touch by @tvrain. I remember vividly coming home from school in 1991 and Swan Lake being shown on TV on a loop, a sign that the Soviet Union was no more...

This is the window of an urban researcher Lev Shevchenko in #Kyiv. He barricaded himself with books to keep the glass from flying into the room during the bombardment. #StopRussia
Reading and hearing things everyday about life in my native city, with a pit in the stomach feeling
Kyiv is so silent now. Not a sound of life out there. As if it’s in vacuum. And this silence embraces the emptry streets. And it is very uncomfortable.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine remained the third largest nuclear power. The Budapest Memorandum of 1994 promised to ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and helped persuade Ukraine to give up it's nuclear arsenal. Russia, US and UK signed it. Now an invasion from the East...
Mostly Italian words come to mind. Passegiata instead of a walk. Farfalla much better than a butterfly. Gelsomino for jasmine. I love the word, sfiorare, as in barely touch, lightly brush or skim, and it has no English equivalent.
For Macron's meeting with Putin, Kremlin's chefs have prepared a menu of exquisite dishes, all to be washed down with...ahem, 2015 Russian chardonnay. Serving the French President Russian wine, really? Talk about disrespectful 😂🤔
Изысканное меню приготовили для Макрона в Кремле: моченые яблоки с лангустином, стейк из осетрины и российское вино
This is really the key, to change the mindset of, oh civics is just boring and useless and gov must be bureaucratic and corrupt, therefore best ignored. NYC Civics 101 can be so useful in getting people excited at how much progress can be made when they learn how.
One component of the ladder is an NYC Civics 101 class—that's the boring/working title anyway. Both self-paced and in-person (probably). Civics, like many other things first encountered in school, is actually far more vast and fascinating than you've been led to believe.
In this third part of her ongoing series @juliemosow will share everything she knows about writing, becoming the writer you’ve always hoped to be…and, most importantly, about finishing the work you start interintellect.com/salon/tell-me-…
interintellect.com/writing-about-… Musings on beginning to write and a moment of introspection which prompted it. Thanks @interintellect for publishing the essay.
Happy U.S. pub day to Olga Tokarczuk's wonderful historical novel THE BOOKS OF JACOB. For @lithub, I wrote about how I translated each sentence of my favorite passage, on God as omnisensitive oyster: lithub.com/the-order-of-t…

The weirdest book in the world — that no one can read — just turned 40. Italian artist Luigi Serafini gives @thisisinsider a look inside the 40th anniversary edition of his beautifully bizarre Codex Seraphinianus. ⬇️ insider.com/codex-seraphin…
