at the beginning of the invasion, I collected little news snippets I called 'gotta do something, I guess'
- Cancelling a talk about Yuri Gagarin? sure, gotta play your part!
- Town officially "untwins" itself from a Russian town? Sure! What else can you do?
- Glad you didn't read War and Peace or Crime and Punishment as a teen? Ok! That'll help!

I mean, I'm making fun of this, but only a bit. What can you do, really? Just watch, donate money maybe. At the beginning of the invasion I read Second Hand Time which gave me far more insight into modern Russia than any of the Russian classics I've read. But what did that achieve for Ukraine? Nothing, nothing at all. Hurt Vonnegut had a good line about the power of art to affect war -
“During the Vietnam War, which lasted longer than any war we've ever been in - and which we lost - every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”
But what else can one do? He didn't stop writing against the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, despite knowing this.
