Thank you for this conversation, it's so nice to see Brandon again. I can definitely see the change in him, and as someone with Complex PTSD, sadly it's a change I recognise. I can also relate to that feeling of not being able to tell "normal" people about some of my experiences, because it will upset them to the point that they don't want to be close to me anymore... though I must admit I agree with Starsky on that one, certain things need to be told, and we who support Ukraine from a distance need to learn to hear them, and carry on.
I share Brandon's passion for Ukrainian history and culture, and by now all my friends have heard about the Executed Renaissance and The House of the Word in Kharkiv, and what Stalin did to those artists and thinkers. Ukrainians are helping all of us understand these awful events by making art about them: about the Executed Renaissance in particular, look up МУР - Ти [Романтика] в кіно | Офіційний Трейлер. МУР - a group of musicians and performers who Stalin would have most definitely wanted dead - made a musical about it, inspired by Hamilton, and to say it's amazing is an understatement. The whole album is on YT too: МУР - Ти [Романтика] | Full Album
