Help Niya & Charley get out of Georgia (country)

queer people are getting the short end of the stick again so we'd appreciate some help in our move 🙏

Hi! we're Niya and Charley, a bisexual Russian woman and lesbian American enby living in Batumi, Georgia, for the past two years. We've been in a loving relationship for 8 year now.

Our original plan was for Niya to get a fiancée Visa to move to the US, but that was placed on hold indefinitely due to the pandemic and a certain Russian territorial conflict making it difficult for Russians to obtain a visa through embassies. At the time, Georgia seemed like the best alternative, and, as charming as our stay has been for the most part, it is increasingly becoming unsafe for LGBT couples. A new bill was passed trying to make "LGBT propaganda" illegal, which in Niya's experience as a Russian, means "anything they don't like, they can claim is illegal". While Georgia's president does plan to veto this bill, it has been stirring up anger and unnecessary attention to queer people regardless and led to a spike in discriminatory violence already. Even before things got this bad, Charley has had rocks thrown at them, screamed at, and been refused entry to public places for wearing normal feminine clothes.

We are currently looking into moving to Mexico, as that is another place both of us have easy access to a half year visa. Moving countries has never been an easy decision, but we've done it before, and with your help, we can do it again, for the sake of our safety.

Thank you!

Okay actually. im still thinking about it.

posting a little list of things I do if a little kid asks me to battle because I also dont know how to interact with kids and some of you guys need to learn how to play nice and thats coming from ME

Make it a fair fight. Don't choose your pokemon that's going to have a type advantage against theirs, and don't immediately go with your strongest moves. Make it fun for the kid.

If the kid's open to it you can use the battle to kinda- i dunno, teach them a few tricks so they actually learn something from it besides "grown-ups are mean and always beat me"

Don't? Take their fucking money? I'm talking 4-7 year old kids here dont take their money if they even have any. In fact I think you should give them a little treat. Even if they lose (likely). It'll make them feel better and also make it more memorable. Give em a good experience or two yknow?

The first time I returned a book to the library, the librarian smiled and said:

"Welcome home."

I smiled too. "Do you greet all your books so warmly?"

"I wasn't only talking to the book."

Hi, everyone! My name is Haru, and I'm a concierge at the Pokémon Resort! My friends from back home told me I should make a rotomblr blog to talk about my experiences. So I did!

Here at the Pokémon Resort, we pride ourselves on being able to take care of any Pokémon's needs and ensure they have a good time. Our motto is, "I'm happy if you're happy!"

This is my pal, Psyduck! I met him at the resort. Isn't he a cutie?

I hope to have many more memorable days and to share them with you all!

-- Haru (she/her)

Sorry for the inactivity, folks! @swagtastic-bougie-pompadour's Porygon thought it would be a "funny" "prank" to lock us out of our account. But on the bright side, we're finally ready to share our list of ~*~DECEMBER ACTIVITIES~*~

First off, every night on Hannukah we will be joining forces with the Jewish Student Association to host a Hannukah party! We invite students of all faiths to enjoy our menorah lighting, dreidel games, fried food, and fun music!

On the 9th and 10th of December, we will be having a DECK The Halls trading card games get-together! Come play a pick-up game with friends or strangers, or enter one of our tournaments to win some fun holiday trinkets!

Also on the 9th, we will be having a Holiday Pokémon Talent Show!

Do you have an Ice-type with a special talent? Or does your Pokémon know a trick that's just perfect for the winter holidays? Then be sure to enter our talent show-- or you can just watch all the other amazing Pokémon! (For safety reasons, all performances must be approved by event staff beforehand.) All entrants will receive a special gift bag, and 1st and 2nd place for each age division (5 and under, 6 through 9, 10 through 13, 14 and up) will receive a special prize!

And also on the 10th, we will be having a winter cookie and cupcake decorating session!

On the 11th, Librarian Adam will once again be reading seasonal stories, this time relating to Christmas, Hannukah, and winter!

Every night from the 18th to the 22nd, at 7PM, we will be showing a holiday movie and selling concessions!

The library will have reduced staff on the 24th and 25th, but you are welcome to come hang out in the atrium for a hot drink and cookies, as well as some company.

And finally, on the 31st, we will be having a NEW YEAR'S EVE BASH! Come enjoy plenty of snacks, crafts, games, and stories! Plus, as midnight years, we'll be watching the broadcast from the Real Casa de Correos as the ball drops and the clocktower bells ring in the new year!

Our leading theory is that they're taking revenge on us for not letting them check out every single copy of Neuromancer at once so they can build a little Neuromancer fort.

Don't tell her she's right but I think she's found where I've hidden the Pokemon friendly Christmas candy canes.

Our lips are sealed ;)

*A picture of a Mimikyu surrounded by a piles of fabric (mostly green, some red and gold), thread and a couple of sewing needles).*

He wants to make himself into a Christmas tree for Christmas. He was a pumpkin for Halloween so as you can probably guess he likes doing special occasion costumes.

Aww, that's so cute!

We've got lots of books on sewing to help you guys get started, and Steven is also a pretty good needleworker if you need some advice!

Do you have any copies of that book where some scientists like revived and genetically modified a whole bunch of fossil Pokemon to have in like a theme park, bought in experts to evaluate it and and it all goes wrong and the fossil Pokemon start eating people? I've read it before but don't have my own copy and there's this really cool scene with a Tyrantrum and I want to read it again.

Yeah, Jurassic Park! We've got it in both Galarian and Paldean! Hope you enjoy!

A Fuecoco wanders over to the library assistance desk and gently bonks his head on it before starting to cry. His trainer rushes over to get him, picks him up and starts comforting the little guy while profusely apologising.

[A Chansey walks over to comfort the Fuecoco.]

"Chansey!"

[Meanwhile, Rebecca is comforting the Trainer]

"No worries, pal! My Lechonk is getting himself into all sorts of scrapes. Maybe Fuecoco would like a cup of water?"

A student is returning a book to a nearby shelf when music starts to play signifying an egg is hatching. The student pulls an egg out of his bag for it to hatch into a mint green purple eyed Sprigatito. He stifles a squeal before presenting his new Sprigatito with a Pokeball and offering to help you guys clean up the egg shards.

OMG, congrats!! It looks so cute!! We hope you have lots of fun with your shiny buddy!!
