the sacred ukrainian sapphic experience of being a teenage girl and first learning that The Icons of ukrainian literature lesya ukrainka and olha kobylianska were lovers
they don’t use tumblr, so:
“This is schedule for how long I will have electricity tomorrow. White squares -
electricity on, grey squares - 50/50, but usually means no electricity, black ones - 100% no electricity. So only 4 hours for my home. And this is “Electrician”, 1915 by Oleksandr Bohomazov.”

trying to study, work, cook, do laundry and not die of heatstroke (a/cs overload the power systems) in 4 hours, frequently interrupted by air raids is a harsh reality here in Ukraine
please, consider supporting: back and alive, prytula foundation or hospitaliers, if you are financially capable (even like 1€ will matter a lot)
so…a few things about the statement in magp 22:
kinda curious about the patient. it’s said that he has a deformity in his skull (my best guess is either he was born with it or it’s an injury, esp considering ww1 ended not that long ago) but i doubt that matters at all
also, the occipital lobe “plays a crucial role in language and reading, storing memories, recognizing familiar places and faces, and much more” (okay Stranger)
real-life Hans Berger performed the first ever eeg (“reading brain waves”) in 1924
he became interested in neurology bc he believed in phychic powers and mind reading:
the part about him writing to dr. Canton seems completely legit, and he was married to Ursula, cool
unfortunately, he was affiliated with the nazi (and specifically supportive of eugenics), being on the comittee that decided which (of the ‘feeble-minded’ and the likes) would get sterilized
and he also died by suicide
none of which is probably going to be relevant later, but, hey, learning is fun
Listening to 3.02 and the exchange between “Mr. Dauphin” and Nova had me audibly chocking on air in a room full of people
Specifically this line:
i am a fool and the spiral would have my ass in a heartbeat (i’ve just looked for 15 minutes straight for the keys i’ve lost a few days ago somewhere in my room (they were in my pocket all along))
United 24 has various fundraisers dedicated to defense and drones, medical aid, rebuilding Ukraine, humanitarian demining, and science and education. You can pick which one you want to contribute to under their various projects.
Liberty Ukraine uses funds for humanitarian aid, medical supplies, protective gear and equipment, and rehabilitation therapy. You can choose which campaign of theirs to donate to.
Come Back Alive is a charitable foundation that supports Ukraine's military with competent assistance while also focusing on security and defense. They also have projects that use sports to help veterans rehabilitate. You can choose which campaign to donate to.
Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation works to help both civilians and Ukraine's army. You can choose to donate to an active project or any of their general campaigns. Civilian aid campaigns cover temporary housing, supporting crisis and emergency responses, schools, demining, and healthcare. Military aid campaigns cover drones, optics units, communications equipment, and support of air defense teams.
World Central Kitchen works with local partners wherever they are providing food aid. They make sure meals and meal kits are what the local population eats. Even though there is no separate fundraising campaign for Ukraine (that I can see), they still do great work.
Hachiko Foundation works to help displaced pets and strays in frontline areas. They help with veterinary care, outdoor shelters, setting up feeding stations, and rehoming animals..

i started malevolent fully sure it was finished (for some reason??) and, needless to say, the biggest plot twist of season 4 for me was, in fact, season 5
"The point is," said Crowley, "the point is. The point is." He tried to focus on Aziraphale. "The point is," he said, and tried to think of a point.

since we (used very sparingly) are dealing with multidimentional “twins” and right&left parts of the brain as different personalities, i’m holding out hope for a ‘there’s someone else in the mirror’ themed episode at some point in the future
