Beyond the televised spectacle, invisible landlords are measuring the ocean for curtains, drafting deeds for the tides, and preparing to charge the moon a modest illumination fee. Yet Gaia has already slipped through an ancient door, carrying a lamp no oligarch can switch off—and apparently she did not stop at the front desk for permission.

For police detective Ivan Dulkay, retribution for the butchering of his compatriots in Bucha, Ukraine, Russia’s worst war atrocity, comes not in the furnace of the battlefield, but through cold investigation and deduction.⁠
⁠
He wants to find out—and to prove: Who exactly killed more than 300 people in this Kyiv suburb right at the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022? And who ordered the killing spree?⁠
⁠
Russia has killed tens of thousands of civilians during nearly five years of war, increasingly by long-range strikes, as the front line is largely stuck. What makes Bucha stand out is that most of the killings were carried out at close range with bullets. When the Russians retreated from this leafy Kyiv suburb after one month of occupation, corpses lay in the streets and in mass graves.⁠
⁠
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for six senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, for war crimes including forced deportation of children and targeting of civilian facilities with missiles.⁠
⁠
Dulkay is working on a different plane. He is hunting the Russian triggermen and their immediate commanders, aiming to work his way up the chain of command.⁠
⁠
The 31-year-old is still relentlessly pursuing leads after four-and-a-half years. He and his team have created an interactive map showing where each of the victims was killed, interviewed hundreds of witnesses and exhumed bodies in the search for bullets to tie killers to victims.⁠
⁠
Russia denies any murders took place in Bucha, asserting that the massacre was faked by Ukraine. Dulkay aims for a forensic dismissal of Russia’s claims—and a measure of justice.⁠
⁠
Dulkay's work is paying off. He said his team has solved 86 of the killings and charged 32 Russian soldiers with murder and torturing civilians.⁠

The Morning Commute That Broke History

Somewhere in China, a gap in the Great Wall of China now doubles as a shortcut to work. Two aerial photos tell the whole story: a dirt road punched clean through one of the most recognized structures on the planet, and a red circle helpfully pointing out the crime as if anyone could miss it. The wall meant to define a civilization, repel nomadic invasions, and stand for two thousand years apparently did not survive the inconvenience of a morning commute.

Rome had a version of this too, just slower. As the Western Empire crumbled, locals dismantled aqueducts, forums, and temple facades brick by brick, not out of spite, but because the marble was right there and the new church needed a foundation. Spolia, the Romans called it: sacred infrastructure repurposed for immediate utility. The eternal city was quietly cannibalized by the very people it was built to protect.

The Ming Dynasty spent over a century reinforcing, extending, and manning this wall as a strategic military boundary against the steppe. Thousands died in its construction. It became the defining symbol of a civilization drawing a hard line between order and chaos. That lineage now has a dirt road through it, worn smooth by truck tires, because walking around added fifteen minutes to someone's day.

The prank is that every great monument is only one generation of inconvenience away from becoming a speed bump. Heritage survives empires, invasions, and centuries, until it meets a deadline.

It’s called the mental load for a reason, because it’s truly a load.

There is so much to think about and plan and organize when it comes to running a household and raising kids. No wonder moms are burning out when they are the ones carrying the majority of it.

I choose to believe that there are many men in relationships with women who genuinely think that asking for a list is a normal and logical thing to do.

But it’s not the answer.

Frankly, it just adds more work to the plate of their partners. It’s just another thing to do. It’s another thing to remember.

Let’s stop assuming that every part of managing the household is a woman’s responsibility to begin with, and start having open honest conversations early on about what mental parts of managing the household can be redivided.

What things can you redivide at home? Do you struggle to talk about the mental load?

Comment “Honest Motherhood” and I will send you the link to my memoir where I share my own journey with breaking from carrying too much in motherhood.
