Starting a 🧵 with my favourite messages that I receive from Ukraine DAO contributors and friends, this stuff deserves to be seen.

@cryptodrftng @tiinakatariina @wowanyname4now "but the Ukrainian lady has a special weapon up her sleeve that the western men weren't expecting... she pounces back with logic and reason... they weren't expecting that... most of them flee but one or two are willing to die on this hill they have built for themselves..."

This quote was allegedly fact-checked by Noam Chomsky who has been writing about politics since before the Ice Age and still managed to say enough in the last few months for my friend from Palestine to start hating him.

Typical "whataboutism", comes up about Palestine a lot. Meanwhile, my friend who is actually from Palestine🇵🇸: https://t.co/OLhSgurDfj https://t.co/3PZaJMsi4G

Typical conversation with @garbanzo0813, Ukraine DAO Translation & Writing Lead - twitter.com/cryptodrftng/s…
 |

My student from #Kherson writes to me: “Dr Zarembo, I was cut off from internet but now I have connection, see in (virtual) class”. Never ever could I have imagined teaching IR to students in occupation. Admire their bravery - studying is an act of resistance, too.

My favourite accusation of Ukraine DAO 💖
❗️Spoiler alert: yes, it's better to donate to @Ukraine_DAO, here is why - twitter.com/cryptodrftng/s…
❌ If god forbid you want to donate to @ICRC, a beffer use of funds is to flush your money down the toilet 🚽

1/ Why donating money through Red Cross is a very bad idea?

Here's the article, BTW 😂 One of the first articles ever that was released mentioning me. Started from me saying to @JamesPurtill who called from 🇦🇺 "man, I haven't slept for 4 days but if you want to talk, that's fine, I just might not be making much sense, I'm sorry"
Alona Shevchenko hasn't slept in four days. But she's helped raise $4.1m in crypto for the Ukrainian army https://t.co/DvTGEhaUvb

@Ukraine_DAO currently only accepts and distributes crypto AKA magic made up funds 🪄🦄

@ndboulton: - I'm actually a PR-specialist!

@LvivNightingale explaining the difference between Telegram and Discord is my favourite thing ever 🤣

@ndboulton giving permission to publish the messages above is my second favourite thing ever

Once @ndboulton and I were listening to this Twitter Space when someone started crying there saying
"This is not a safe space!"
@ndboulton: "Safe space?! It's fucking TWITTER!"
@cryptodrftng There’s also a joke in here abt safe spaces, since Twitter ain’t safe & Spaces•used2•feature Alona rather regularly; @LvivNightingale probably already 4sees the joke, certainly the meme:

Maybe the caption reads: “here is my pet, named Safe…we like & patrol open spaces”

On the subject of Pussy Riot:

@cryptodrftng : "Instead of pussies we need balls."
Me: "We need a massive pair of wrecking balls"
@Cryptodrftng: "You know how some people only need a half? I am a pair"
@MuKappa is basically the Kazakh version of me.

Reminds me of the conversation I had with @MuKappa when I was asked in a Twitter Space about the first time I heard of issues with ruSSia. https://t.co/BnG2oSyWE8 https://t.co/JhPQpCG6zD

One of the contributors felt unwell today, so now we have a group chat called "@Ukraine_DAO ICU 🚑" with my physician friend @beardoesdrugs and they're having a heart to heart about vitamins 😂
Me: - Do you guys remember that 🇷🇺 idiot who was trying to fight with the door in Kherson?
@NanTyrus: - I bet someone made a meme Wiki page about it
@MuKappa and I: - YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT PAGE?!

One of my all time favourite #UKDEvents moments was @brokenpixelua joining the Zoom call where I was explaining @Ukraine_DAO to this respectable group of people, and asked the most important of questions - шо по русні?
2/ From @Ukraine_DAO team, I was joined today by the amazing @CECILIESTURICH, @djw155 and @NanTyrus ✨
— Link
Highlights the discussion:
✨ @brokenpixelua asked "шо по русні"? in the Q&A section and I duly anwered that "русні пизда" 💞
✨ @M0TRN whom I haven't spoken to before ...
And then @M0TRN added:
"Alona, I've never spoken to you before and I don't know what @Ukraine_DAO is, but I've actually been following you on Twitter for a while and now I hate russians too! Thank you so much!" 😹
3/ ✨... joined the discussion to tell everyone that after reading my Twitter he is now a "russophob" too and proud of it!
— Link
I don't think I've ever felt prouder in my life 😂 Thank you for speaking, @M0TRN !
@MuKappa wrote about russophobia the other day 👇 https://t.co/RJExCSaXTG
Excellent @navalny explainer, I'm going to frame this 👏
@Uliana_IN made this whole 🧵 irrelevant in 2 seconds

❌ Regular reminder - @navalny is not Ukraine's friend.

❗️Please don't whitewash another russian shauvinist just because he's in "opposition" (opposition doesn't exist in 🇷🇺, btw).
The only reason why Navalny doesn't like putin is because he's not in putin's seat. That's all. https://t.co/382qghCYbE

"Alona can't wake up? Whisper "but not all russians..." 🤣 #UKDQuotes
@Ukraine_DAO (🇺🇦,🇺🇦)
- Alona is a very deep sleeper, nothing can wake her up, not even the phone ringing right next to her.
