Die-In For Life-In Gaza, 18th May 2024, Old Town in Warsaw, Poland
Organized by the collectives Wschód and Kefija, it was a die-in protest commemorating 76th anniversary of Nakba - the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the war in Palestine in 1948. Particularly significant in the context of on-going genocide in Gaza.

The third face of Nowa Huta in Kraków, perhaps the most surprising to me, is the "natural" one.
It takes about 50 metres of detour from the usual urban area to discover a huge grassy meadow, often frequented by locals to sunbathe and relax. It was so calm and silent my jaw dropped and I couldn't pick it up. The only thing that reminded me I was in one of most populous parts of Kraków was that thermal power plant in the horizon.
My peanut Warsaw brain keeps yapping: how come a housing estate hasn't been built here yet?
President Zelensky and Poland's Prime Minister Tusk agreed to immediately start preparing a security agreement.
The conversation focused on the situation in the Kharkiv region, where Russian forces have launched a new offensive, and Ukraine's air defense needs "to protect Kharkiv and other regions."
According to the president, he and the Polish prime minister also discussed the threat posed by Russia to gas infrastructure in western Ukraine and ways to counter it. #AureFreePress#Poland
Nowa Huta in Kraków (that industrial-ish one I guess)
The other face of Nowa Huta begins as soon as socrealism is abandoned and modernism gets to be all the rage (which is somewhere between late 1950s and 1970s I guess?). I'll be honest though: I know very little about architecture and I may have made factual errors in the previous sentence. All I know is that I'm attracted like a moth to lines, patterns and geometry.
Also, in a weird way that style evokes specific images in my head. I have some kind of synthwave-like nostalgic feelings about Poland as seen by my parents in 1970s and 1980s. All of which is of course fake because I'm not forgetting who ruled the country at that time.
