Today is difficult. I switched off from the news over the weekend. But now, tuning back in, seeing the reports and photos from Dnipro and also the videos from my Kakhovka is difficult. In Kakhovka they keep bombing from the direction of my grandmother’s village - this is an attempt to drive out the remaining locals, so they can start bringing the russians in and move them into our houses. How many times must we endure this? A residential building was hit. My teacher Marina who remains right in the centre where they bombed is ok, but it blew out all of the windows in her appartment. Also my dad is not feeling well. Today is a low day. Found a photo of this orb spider from mum’s garden last August. We used to walk by and talk to her every time with my eldest. Trying to keep it together but it’s really hard. Really hard not to feel debilitating hatred too. #russiaisaterroriststate #standwithukraine
