There are a lot of Ukrainian refugees living in my town, so a community centre was set-up so they could meet up, and the kids could have somewhere to play. I was just passing it today, and I guess the kids have been working hard on their crafts.



They decorated 3 trees like this - two had Ukrainian symbols and one has my town's name and some Irish symbols, including pint glasses and leprechaun hats :3:

I know the reason they are here is extremely unblessed, but I'm just glad to see that they are able to have fun doing normal kid stuff.

I literally just got back from a community event. Now, for context, I live in a tiny rear end village. Like literally 800 or so people, and due to the nature of the community (lot of specialized foster care and stuff) there's a super strong sense of community and helping people and charity and stuff which is awesome. So when the war started and the refugees started coming we fixed up the community center and made it a proper place to live, and now we've got like a 100 or so Ukrainians living here too. Aside from some really minor hiccups it's all gone extremely well.

So we had an event today with lots of live music, a lot of the kids performing, etc, and, as has been customary now, tons and tons of delicious Ukrainian food, all free of charge.

Oooo. That one is also awesome. I just like that a cat making weird noises can cause all these musicians (music nerds) to nerd out together and make fantastic art.

I wish there was a genre name for these as they can be a lot of fun. I really like this one cause you'd swear that cat was actually singing after a bit. Its fun to see the sounds get weaved into a song.

Yeah, it's been very heartening to see how keen my local community has been to help Ukrainians settle in and feel safe and welcome.
As always, there are some lovely people on social media, but the real-world results have been a flood of practical, material help and support. A local charity collecting toys and clothes for the children had to ask for a pause in donations because they got overwhelmed.

A small personal anecdote: my elderly father has a regular group he meets with at a coffee shop to talk over the latest news. Back when all this started, a small family, consisting of a young woman, her child and her mother started coming to the coffee shop. At first they were extremely shy and nervous, they never spoke to anyone, never even made eye contact.
Now, they are active, vocal members of the group, the old lady doesn't speak much English but that hasn't stopped her having many strong opinions on whatever is going on in the town/in the news :3:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Irish wolfhounds are incredibly gentle and loving dogs. They literally cannot be kept in outside kennels because they will die of sadness if they are kept away from their human families.
They are just insanely sweet and adorable dogs :3:

Ok

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

I don't have the room or space for one, but they have always been on my list of "dream dogs"

and might as well add the Scottish Deerhound, lol

This, but nothing but mastiffs, great danes, wolfhounds, deerhounds, and every other +150lb dog I can adopt.

and everyone can follow my beat up body as I'm dragged by 2000+lbs of dog. lol
