Serhii Gromov, Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv: UN Peacekeeping History, and the Žepa Legacy Amid War
By Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Milana Olefirenko Bennett (Translator English-Ukrainian) Ukraine’s Peace Museum in Kyiv, founded by former UN peacekeeper Serhii Gromov, documents the country’s contributions to international peacekeeping missions since the early 1990s. Through personal archives, mission artifacts, flags, and correspondence, the museum highlights deployments in the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, and beyond. A central narrative focuses on the 1995 Žepa operation, which Ukrainian accounts credit with saving thousands of civilians. Operating during Russia’s ongoing invasion, the museum presents a paradox: a peace institution functioning in wartime. Its mission is both archival and aspirational, asserting Ukraine’s identity as a peace-contributing nation while enduring active conflict.

Are You Going to Hell for Being Gay?
If someone came up to me and asked, “Does being gay mean I’m going to hell?” I would not answer quickly. That question usually comes from fear. It comes from someone who is not trying to argue, but who is honestly worried about their soul.

The Forgotten Journal. AI-Generated.
Leena found the journal tucked away in the attic of her grandmother’s old house. Its leather cover was worn, corners frayed, and pages yellowed with age. She had been helping clean and organize, expecting to find old photographs or trinkets, but this small book caught her attention immediately. Something about it felt alive, as though it carried a story waiting to be remembered.

My First Tattoo Was a Mistake. My Sixth One Taught Me What San Antonio Ink Is Really About.
I got my first tattoo at nineteen. A tribal armband. In 2009. On Spring Break. Yeah. That one. It was the kind of decision you make after two margaritas on the River Walk, surrounded by friends who swear it looks sick. The artist didn't ask questions. I didn't have a reference image. Thirty minutes later I had a permanent souvenir of the worst aesthetic judgment of my life.

Architectural lighting design is more than just glow, it adjusts the space, influence how people act, and provide a unique look to a building.
