Have you ever seen Ukrainian Discworld books?
this time, I would like to show you what books Ukrainians read.
it was...2017 (?) when Pratchett's novels appeared in Ukrainian; in 2019, I met these books for the first time.
I am not going to comnent the design (though I love it so much, it is cute and have minor spoilers for the content), but the useful point OUGHT to be mentioned.
as you can see, at the end of the books (I think... starting in 2021, this thing appeared at the end, in 2019 it definitely didn't) there is an infographic (?) that shows the number of series of the Discworld, their sequence and not yet translated novels (they are white, although I have already seen "Small Gods"...mmm ok).
is the translation good, btw?
honestly, I was surprised it is; however, there are remarks that sometimes report the impossibility of direct translating certain Pratchett puns.
and the last...it normally costs 10 dollars (which is expensive, honestly...but buyworthy).
I will improve the wig I swear.
This is my dad. Volodymyr Torbynsky, who died on January 15, 2025. He was 55. He died defending Ukraine from russian invaders. russians killed him. Please, remember him. He is a hero.
Thank you all for your support, kind words and help. I really appreciate it.
p.s. Remember that the war is not over. Remember everyone, who fought for their country. Remember the price. The daily price of our freedom.
russia is a terrorist state.

I was suddenly inspired by Coleridge.

I somehow missed the interview on Cracker Island album (well, I was to busy to even drink water in 2022 and 2023, so...), my bad. however, Murdoc did not changed that radically, I am glad.
I frankly used someone's tiktok video to make this.
RIP yer ears.
At the beginning of the war, I migrated to Kyiv region from Kyiv city. There I heard (probably Chechens') weapons shooting every day and every night. If two important bridges were not destroyed by Ukrainian militarizes (it was necessary to NOT let r*ssian murderers move further), me and my family could be killed by those awful terrorists.
Behind my back, people had been dying until all the region and city were finally freed. I slept peacefully while innocent citizens from many regions of the country (including CHILDREN and TEENAGERS) died at the hands of these bastards.
I still can die in any moment. Everyone in Ukraine can die in a few minutes. I know Tumbler is full of American, Australian, British, European and Chinese users. Trust us and believe in us. We are people, who have been crying for help for centuries. We were wasted and almost yielded. We were r*ssified for generations and terrorized by communists from r*ssia, they kept and keep many countries under control and in fear. They threaten the Baltic countries, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Poland and even Finland. Remember what happened to Finland when the US and Britain refused to help them in the Finnish war: the Finns were forced to give a tenth of the country to a bastard named Stalin. Have a look at Moldova! The separatist region "Transnistria" was formed there. They eat p*tin's gas, BUT Moldova has to pay (so yeah, there is no separate state, it is just a scam and separatism). Northern Kazakhstan also causes unrest in the people due to the risk of separatism. Look what they did to Georgia! I have a Georgian neighbor, she suffered this with her family from monsters from r*ssia. r*ssians are directly involved in all eastern wars, crises in Africa, and enough separatist regions are caused by them.
Now, we will not be keeping silence and the terrorists cannot keep our mouths shut anymore. Do not let Ukraine yield. If Ukraine loses the war, r*ssian cattle will start wars in other European countries. Stop being polite, tolerant and respectful to those, who hate you. I understand r*ssian language very good, and I often see what kind of shit they spread about US, UK, Europe and even China. "Stupid capitalistic Americans who will be destroyed by their duce", "Anglo-Saxons" (YES, they call ye, my British pals, ANGLO-SAXONS), "ever freezing poor stinky Europe" and "ching cheng kan chi hahaha stupid Chinese" - that is what they think about ye all. But I still see pure idiots from these very states, which still tolerate "good brutal beautiful r*ssians".
I beg you, foreigners, come to your senses.
Wanna see how Russians hunted civilian cars in Kyiv region in March 2022?
Surreal now that it was all happening some 15 km from where I lived and I followed the local chats crying that "People, don't evacuate by the road leading to Zhytomyrska highway! Russians are hiding among trees off road there and shooting down civilian cars!!" in real time - and now I can actually see it happening on recovered footage from street cameras. Surreal.
