Preparations

This morning I wrote a lengthy article about preparations for the incoming shitstorm, but then I paused, reconsidered, and deleted the text. You see, if you waited untilĀ now to prepare, it’s too late. In theory, you might still manage to do something, like buying some food, cosmetic consumables, medications, filling up the car, stocking up on toilet paper in case you shit yourself, and so on, but things like that radiation dosimeter I bought – I don’t think you can buy it anymore, because it’s Russian, and Russia is blocked. I’m afraid that’s a sign of things to come – back ordered, not available in your country, not available at all, not accepting payment in your currency, not accepting crypto, website not accessible, website error, payment provider not working, bank closed due to excessive demand, bank not working because it fell below minimal legal requirement for reserves, and so on.

My message to Russians: your enemies hate you, but they hated you yesterday and the day before, and now at least you understand why your President and your government embarked on this course; don’t for a moment believe all this hatred and malice has anything to do with Ukraine, other than Ukraine being one of its minor instruments. It is now time to stay the course, and to pray.

One thought on “Preparations

  1. Since you posted this, I have been listening this Tchaikovsky piece and it’s incredible.
    Completely disconnected from everything “of this world” I instantly feel like I am radiating, I feel great power, but it is not mine, I am merely part of it, absorbed by it, integral part of it.
    I am drop in the ocean and the ocean itself in the same time.

    Funny thing is, I can not actively listen to this piece. It feels more like standing in the sunlight, feeling warmth on my face while my mind is focused on something inside me and sunlight and warmth are like catalysts.
