In 2014, I decided to improve my English and took several courses in a college that I could reach on my electric bike from my new South Park home - in the downtown San Diego. This essay was one of the first I submitted for the Critical Thinking course by a visiting professor from UCSD. It is about the young generation and social media. The subject was assigned. Nowadays, I would have written it differently, less feisty and suggesting other forms of manipulation - I appreciate Frontline and disrespect Facebook! Though, we were asked to produce just a report-like critique piece. But that was a stage of my history in English language presented as found while I was clearing for good my Google drive, with a bit of formatting.

Если Вы русский, вам нужно посмотреть: Где вы были 8 лет? + Донбасс. Реальная история становления ДНР и ЛНР глазами очевидца. Или читайте Джонатана Литтелла. Я из Донецка. Он был уничтожен и заменен адом Российской Федерацией в 2014-м. Следите за твитером со мной. (my embedded twitter)
If you are Russian, or if you think that Russia retaliates for Russians in Donetsk, please auto-translate the videos above, they are titled Where have you been the last 8 years + Donbas. Real Story of DNR and LNR by the eye-witness. Or read Jonathan Littell.
I am from Donetsk, Ukraine - it was turned into hell by the previous special operation
by the Russian Federation in 2014. Please do not spread the propaganda that Russia is provoked, defends itself, or saves someone - this message is a weapon of war.

Dear friends, please seriously consider switching to a physical and emotional survival mode for a while: increase your own immune response ability and decrease danger to others.
Any exercise, breathing techniques, ventilating well, meditation, minimizing alcohol and smoking, sleeping enough, sunlight, herbs and teas like hibiscus, choosing fresh and simple foods over sugary grease, kindness over anger, appreciating beauty - all are good old things.
I am telling it to myself too, after a time of preparation to personal losses.
In addition to 2-yard distance and strict hygiene, cotton over your face can give some partial (~50%) protection from virus-loaded droplets in public. Loss of sense of smell or taste could be a symptom. SARS-2 (#COVID19) can leave us with holes in our lungs, and in some places you won't be even helped in a crisis.
Our health, attention, and energy are precious, you are a wonderful being, important to many others, and to me.
Stay well, free, and ready.
Love, virtual hugs, Lena
