Here is a thing that you can do to help Ukraine

Most of the workers in the Mykolaiv Zoo have been evacuated or have gone to fight, and they're keeping a skeleton staff to keep the animals alive. They're asking people to buy e-tickets to financially support it. The zoo has been attacked but so far the animals are alive and the director is staying behind to help them.

Okay so ngl I'm in tears reading about this guy. Here's an article (in English, with photos). 

You can buy e-tickets here. If, like me, your Ukrainian is not very good*, Google translate works on it. My friend who does speak Ukrainian confirms that it's legit.

I feel helpless in general about Ukraine. I don't really have good solutions besides wishing Putin a very nice polonium tea, very quickly. But anyway. This is a thing people can do to help.


* That was sarcasm; I don't speak Ukrainian.
