#RUSSIAN CONCLUSION

[allgremlinart]

btw the reason you end up with a candidate like Biden that lacks sufficient sway within his own party, ignores constituents, and is unfit for his position is that all you have to do is bank on people's fear of their basic rights being revoked outweighing their faith in democracy. You can repeat this cycle ad nauseam and so long as your voter base keeps acquiescing to having their wishes and demands ignored, you can remain in power while ignoring them indefinitely. That's how two-party democracy crumbles and devolves into fascism.

reading scholarly articles about pathologic when its so obvious that the writer didn't even properly play the game and actually only played like the first half of 2 and then confidently putting their opinions out there like SHUT UP

I think I mentioned here an upcoming C1 level Russian exam? Well it's over! It was last Friday-Saturday and I have high hopes that I passed, though I'll only find out in about a month :')

Anyway special thanks to everyone on here who posts Russian resources or just study motivation stuff, y'all kept me going 💕

just had a long day of ballet class and rehearsals for a production of chekhov’s three sisters and found myself earnestly excited to knock back a glass of whiskey and read from the book of mykola hohol short stories i’ve been reading. what have i become

[valgeristik]

Through the anxious twilight, the cigarette smoke, The candle's nervous flame reflects in the mirror [...] I'm playing a game meant for strong men [...] You don't know what I am, for sure I am the energy of the explosion, I am the echo of the storm I'm not dangerous yet, but that's just for now

You don’t know yet How serious this will be

POV: youre a lost visiting noble who accidentally walked into the room of the younger Cousland heir and Man, There’s Something Wrong With Her,

(yes of course its fleur again) (Noel is a she/he legend)

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee noel i love how hes from a noble family i love that there has always been something Feral in there, but she has to keep up appearances, he has to be Normal, has to not be an embarrassment to the family, has to play a Role.

but that something is still There, so close to the surface, and it’s so easy to catch a glimpse of it when she lets her guard down, but its so hard to place your finger on what it is exactly you caught a glimpse of... and then she goes thru trauma and loses the restraint she had on herself and becomes a grey warden who is Absolutely Unhinged and youre like Ah. Thats What It Was

Really really don't get why so many people seem to have this burning hatred for Ukraine where they'll just... bring them up randomly purely to drag them through the mud and it's like... ok... but... do you actually know a single thing about Ukraine or what's been happening there?

Do you for instance remember when a major dam was destroyed by russia causing massive ecological damage?

Like I'm dead serious here, can you tell me a single thing that's happened in Ukraine in the last 2 years? Can you in any way demonstrate any basic understanding of the situation?

Cause if not... why do you think you should have an opinion on it, especially if your opinion is gonna be how awful people getting bombed are?

Just legit bothers me and... even more so bothers me the number of smart and caring people I see doing this. Basically I'm not even trying to be rude here, I'm trying to remind you to pay attention and remember that not everything you read on the internet is true, a tumblr post isn't a source unless they're giving you a reputable source

Cause like me? I can go track you down articles about the Nova Kakhovka dam being destroyed, and I can talk about all the reason why it's pretty clear that russia destroyed it

Can you do the same for me? Can you back up your claim about Ukraine with something concrete?

In many ways I'm not even asking you to support Ukraine, I get we have a limit to how much we can focus on, it's ok if you focus on your cause and I focus on mine and... both of us giving our undivided attention, maybe we both make some small impact on the world

What I'm asking is you don't be an asshole for no reason. You don't need to throw Ukraine under the bus. Don't you think your cause stands up on it's own two feet?

And again I'm not Ukrainian, I don't know as well as someone there, though... I spare you a lot of the stuff that crosses my dash because I don't want to burn people out with horrible stuff, but please understand it's worse than you probably think

So no, not Ukrainian, but I'll tell you why I'm still worth listening to: I've followed this every day since the invasion began. I keep my ear to the ground. I do know a fair bit and again can back what I have to say up

Anyway, my plea is to just not be a dick to people for no reason. The correct number of bombed civilians is zero, that's my stance

Spending today doing some review and trying to master the different Z sounds in Polish. This video is extremely helpful to compare and differentiate between them 🥰

been glancing at 2023's stuff for a moment, now wondering if it wasn't as bad as it seemed or was it

...did anything even happen at all? gotta try to take a look at bites

- have realised i have developed an ability to experience romantic interest or mb it was always there, failed to notice under layers of trauma and denial

- nearly every night i cried my eyes out about my ex friend in question (we broke up in the end of 2k22)... first weird exp or not, by now i know i should have known better and escape earlier. tbh it's been a struggle to move on fully, i still kinda miss that attention x ignoring combo and blunt wannabe guru "lessons", at least thanks to him i know what one shouldnt be doing if they wanna be a better friend

- i managed to make more friends and met one irl ... all just to fail later and avoid almost all interactions esp personal chats as apparently i am really scared of getting abandoned again, it's way easier for me to avoid and stay mostly alone... besides i still don't have enough energy to provide new ppl with anything more useful than basic enertainment

- despite stuff mentioned above, i figured out i love talking to ppl and i really wanna do good, i wanna love and be loved even even if it could be too much to wish for

- finally became a massagist!

- somehow nailed to help some ppl (wat)

- learned how to bake without setting everything on fire

- computer's video card died, so had to deal with a very laggy ol laptop

- fixed computer parts, switched from windows 7 to windows 10

- improved drawing skills, started to figure backgrounds out

- started to discover clip paint studio

- lots of rp madness was going on! felix and pals my beloved <3

- started to return back to actual writing

- spent most of summer in parks

- kinda started listening podcasts again ... this reminds i should resume woe dot begone, ty popping up in person when

- simon petrikov and elliot stardew valley taking the top spot on my list of comfort muses

About the Chornobyl tragedy: the main "cloud" of chemicals was flying to russia at first, but they shot it from hundreds of rifles, so it changed direction and rained on Belarus later. At that time, the government prepared to celebrate May 1st, so of course, no one made a single announcement about that horrible catastrophy. Hundreds of people went outside, under radioactive rain, not knowing anything. Hundreds were standing on the May 1st parade. My mom was 8 years old back then - and the only reason why her family didn't let her go outside for the next couple of months was their neighbour, who had relatives in Ukraine, and who told them about Chornobyl crash.

Actually I think that last reblog WAS derailing so imma delete but lemme make myself clear; the bias yall display when it comes to the black community is crystal clear to us even if YOU don’t recognize it and if the only interactions you have with us online is shit being blazed about the worst of us that does say something about you sorry.

tiktok has migrated away from only showing me content in french to giving me english interspersed with polish

[lilaabard]

the chelsea shitshow this season really is just a pessimistic and depressing version of ted lasso... the american owners arriving, not knowing what an offside is? them being more informed about another, typically american, sport (baseball)? the hiring of a new, relatively inexperienced coach that the fanbase immediately dislikes, to an unreasonable amount? the players having to google who the new coach is? that's all some ted lasso shit. the todd show, if you will

Ouija board to ask Dostoyevski if Razumijin and Raskolnikov explored each others bodies but he immediately starts screaming in agony and haunting my house forever
