Fight disinformation by finding a Russian business on Google Maps and leaving a 5 star review with a message like:
"Your government is lying to you about Ukraine. Please find a way to get the truth from family, friends or news outside of Russia! Innocent people are being killed! Revolt!" (use Google translate for help)

Sister Selene's Entreating Intercession to Hekate, Nyx, and Baba Yaga for Ukraine:
To Goddess Hekate
of the winding ways
To Goddess Nyx whose veil of sleep
Ends the darkest days
To the Baba Yaga all-knowing crone of the woods
One Under this same sky unite us in sisterhood
Let the yellow glow of sun and starshine
Be as Hekate’s torch, providing guidance divine
May the blue of moonhue and dark navy night
Put to bed war, changing wrong into right
May the olde winding ways provide aid to Ukraine
The Baba’s blessing upon them, on their foes her bleak bane
In the Crones name bring peace to the land
Let the evils of war crumble like sand
So mote it be
