i find lingvist to be a great language learning app - there is a paid option but of course that’s not something you have to do! it’s certainly not something i do, but there’s a 7 day free trial if you just wanna see what it is.

the languages available in english are; spanish (european), spanish (latin american), russian, french, german and portuguese (brazilian). it does have courses for other languages but there are too many to list.

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!

Please feel free to add more learning focused websites. 

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.

stop bullshit, stop queerphobia, stop violence!

LGBTQAI+ riots in Poland

cw: violence against trans women, violence against lgbtqai+ people, police violence, sexual abuse, institutionalised queerphobia, state violence, p*land

for my Dear Followers, and everybody who’d like to help the LGBTQA+ community in p*land, this hell of a country!

this is the “stop bzdurom” fb profile on which the activists post videos and texts. occasionally there are posts in English, but even if you don’t know a single polish word - you can still support the initiative with a like! it’s hugely appreciated! love and respect know no language boundaries!

their activist, Margot, has been literally kidnapped by the police in the middle of the capital city. other people who attended demonstrations are being arrested with no cause given. our basic human rights are being violated, but we will not give up. Solidarity with Margot, no matter what!

this is the official page of Campaign Against Homophobia, a very effective organisation that promotes free and safe access to sexual education, vows for equality for every human being, fights nationalism and xenophobia and helps lots of LGBTQAI+ people survive. with the police’s violence and provocations spreading, their actions are crucial. their aim is to eliminate the language of abuse from public discourse, boost knowledge about the noncishet society and provide safety for those who are likely to lack it now.

here’s their twitter - KPH_official

here’s their instagram - kph_official

you can also find them on fb

and they even have a youtube channel!

here you can donate for the “stop bullshit!” radical feminist queer collective. 

they need money for Margot’s and other LGBTQAI+ people’s cases, for organising decent education on our community and for defending themselves against the nationalist overflow of hate, abuse and violence. if you have a euro or a dollar to spare, please consider spending it on this fund. every “złotówka” counts as money against the religion-motivated conservative fundamentalism!

here you can sign a petition “free Margot, NOW!” - yes, petitions don’t work, but i’ve signed for Margot to see that she has a friend in me. she is being kept in prison for high rate offenders with male inmates, she has been molested and she really needs psychological support!

Interesting child abuse poster

A poster made by The Spanish organization ANAR Foundation (Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk). They started a new street poster campaign that uses the process of lenticular printing to secretly send a message to abused children without alerting their abusers, even if they’re walking together. 

Anyone over 4’5” sees this view, with a caption: “Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.”

Anyone shorter sees the beaten child version of the poster with another caption saying: “If somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you.”
