Episode Seven: Ukrainians of Colour Podcast Episode · Ukrainian Roots Podcast / Подкаст «Українське коріння» · 2026-01-29 · 55m

I've wanted to explore the world of Ukrainians of colour since the day I conceived of Ukrainian Roots Podcast / Подкаст «Українське коріння». I'm Ukrainian and Indian, so this episode was a lifetime in the making. Guest: Oleksiy Grynishyn (Kolo Choir). podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

This isn't a peace deal. It's a murder plot. They want Ukraine dead on the floor.

There are a lot of reasons why Ukrainians don’t talk about mental health, and one big reason why we must: mental health is health. When we don’t talk about it, we lose people.

❤️‍🩹 Rescuers pulled a Yorkshire terrier named Michelle from the rubble in Dnipro. She lived on the fifth floor and, luckily, wasn’t seriously hurt.

Michelle is now with her owners’ relatives.

Слава Україні. Героям слава. Все буде Україна.
Ukraine is. Ukraine was. Ukraine will always be.
Glory, glory, glory to our heroes.
Glory to beautiful Ukraine.

All eyes on Kyiv. 💔

If you're in Vancouver today (May 15), please join the Ukrainian community on the Burrard Bridge at 7pm where we'll wear our Vyshyvanky, wave our blue and yellow flags, and remind the world that Ukraine is, was, and will always be.

It's #VyshyvankaDay for Ukrainians around the world. Vyshyvanka is more than beautiful embroidery. It holds our stories. It connects us to the past, our ancestors, and each other. At a time when the russian terrorist state seeks to erase us, I wear my Vyshyvanky with extra pride.

If you love film and television made in Canada, now's the time to watch it, stream it, shout about it, and invest in it. #ElbowsUp for #BCFilm; elbows up for Hollywood North.

Trump’s ill-conceived tariffs on foreign-made films is either going to kill the Vancouver film and television industry or inject it with new purpose and fire.

First strikes, then AI, now tariffs: working in #BCFilm is just an endless parade of existential threats. We just want to make film and TV, gang.

Ah, yes: it’s Liberation Day in America. It’s the day when the United States liberates itself from being (*checks notes*) an economic force on the global stage and forces every other nation to work around it, thus rendering itself inconsequential. Papa Putin must be so proud.

Every time Trump says that the U.S. is being invaded by people from mental institutions, please remember that he's understanding "asylum seekers" to mean "people who've escaped or been released from mental asylums," and permit yourself a despondent laugh and a shake of the head.
