A few things I've been meaning to share:
The guitarist who saved hundreds of people on a sinking cruise liner
The book that sank on the Titanic and burned in the Blitz
~~
Europe’s new Iron Lady: Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas
The Baltic leader has become the EU’s strongest advocate for an uncompromising response to Russia.
~~
Daily Dimash: Happy Birthday
Apparently it's exactly a year since I posted my first Dimash post, fittingly on his birthday. He's 28 today, and released a new song - О'кей (Okay). It's another Igor Krutoy composition/collaboration, and the original release day was 5th of March, when the premiere was supposed to have happened on the Russian TV channel NTV. There was a whole article on DimashNews, which included the fact that they had been shooting a video... which is also yet to be seen, since of course then the war began, and they cancelled their appearance (like many other artists) and delayed the release. I would share it, except so far it's only available to buy. When the video comes out, I'll post it. :)
Dimash has put a lovely video up on insta, showing all the flowers that the Dears have been sending him. And then I came across this adorable video from last year, of Dimash reacting to birthday messages from his Dears. Most wholesome star ever. <3 (It's so wonderful/necessary to have a place that is just full of positivity.)
ETA: From Dimash News: “Let charity become a tradition!” (On May 24, Dears from eight countries held a charity event to help mothers whose children are being treated at the National Scientific Center for Mothers and Children in Nur-Sultan.)
To add a song to this post also, I'll put a recent performance of SOS under the cut... However Dimash does a speech before singing. It's from the EMI GALA 2022 in Dubai, and he was being presented with an award - which he then dedicated to his grandmother, and did a speech before giving her the award. (Sidebar: he brought both his grandmothers with him to the gala, one on each arm as he walked up the red carpet. ♥)

Another side is that this is basically a story about a child prodigy who was nurtured and loved and allowed to flourish (and trained rigorously), and who is as a result a happy, dedicated and successful artist, with no trauma or issues. And just... how seldom does that happen?? Why isn't that the norm? /rhetorical question
