Selected Poems from Mykyta Ryzhykh

The naturalization of hatred
Every day, the giant boulders of the brain create little sons to atone for guilt
Are sons resurrected?
The magnolia outside the window blooms expressively quietly, as if guessing something

Anger-dictatorship
I pretend to be a god every morning over a cup of coffee

Stars-blindness
Castrated calm screams in the language of stones
Motherland of life
The taste of faith
Wrath service of the gun

Stone-ruin
Time to change clothes and pick up picks

~~

What do you see
The inner kitten will bring the devil’s slippers in his teeth in the morning in exchange for
living space with Wi-Fi

What do you see being blind
The sexual joy of a mouse pressed to the floor by a cat’s paw
hate pornography with guts out
sun bunnies devoured by air wolves

What do you see
The deceased son comes every night in a dream in tears and asks to be resurrected

~~

Kira Muratova

The film begins after the ending, when a balding virgin takes off her wig, like a fancy dress costume, and shoves the wig into a face on the other side of the screen.
Hungry rats need to be fed body parts.
Last but not least, feed with the brain, never with the heart.
In the last turn of people today – it is necessary to make your way. No need to push your way into people. It is better to try to become a butterfly.

~~

Religion is a hobby club for those who have never died

~~

The secret of the soul
Secretion of guilt
Who will kiss my neck and turn me into a vampire?

The dream of a soldier who will turn a gun into a sex shop toy

Who will kiss me?
Nobody

~~

Mosquitoes fly to the scent of blood
So are military pilots

~~

There are as many explosions as there are stars in the sky
Every night to underground storage and bunkers
An alarm siren sounds

Life is wonderful as if it started from an egg and not from a dead chicken

I tested the Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech, the Aion Mosquito Barrier, and the Tougher Than Tom Mosquito TNT in my Pennsylvania yard. tl/dr: they don't kill mosquitoes but plenty of Americans are still buying them. #mosquitoes #grifting #pesticides #nature #biology #insects #diptera #carbondioxide #co2 https://colinpurrington.com/2020/08/yeast-based-mosquito-control-devices/?nocache=1

I updated my page on mosquito-control tips to include Thermacells (I own 2), plus added a section on the Mosquito Magnet and Biogents Mosquitaire (neither of which I've tested but I have some thoughts). #mosquitoes https://colinpurrington.com/fighting-mosquitoes/

Why are some people #mosquito magnets? Clues are emerging
It's not a misconception -- mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others," Frederic Simard of France's Institute of Research for Development told AFP. "But we are not all magnets all the time," the medical #entomologist added.
A range of sensory cues can cause #mosquitoes to pick one human over another—mainly the smell and heat our bodies give off, and the carbon dioxide we exhale.

I'm trying out a new mosquito-control contraption made by Ortho. It features a landing pad laced with powderized, lethal fungus spores (Beauveria bassiana) that can be transferred via tarsi to standing water elsewhere in the yard or in your neighbors' yards. The water in the container also has an insecticide (pyriproxyfen) to kill any larvae that might develop from eggs left by females. It's the home version of the expensive In2Care trap that can only be purchased by licensed pest-control folks. #mosquitoes #ortho #in2care

The neighbors had their yard fogged yesterday. Every 2 to 3 weeks it will happen again. Drives me absolutely insane. #pesticides #mosquitoes #insects #nature

Mosquitoes are better known as bloodsuckers that spread malaria, dengue and other diseases, but at least some also play a little-known role as pollinators. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/05/13/wildlife/mosquitoes-blood-flower-lovers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #wildlife #mosquitoes #environment

Helpful tips for dealing with mosquitoes this summer. Not only is the article full of excellent suggestions from experts, it's noteworthy that spraying yards with pyrethroids is never mentioned. That's likely because experts view it as a waste of money. Originally published in the Washington Post but repeated in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
