Brief history of anti-LGBT legislations in Russia
Throughout 90s and 2000s there were no discriminatory laws in Russia. There were openly queer celebrities (whether they said they were for PR alone or not is a complicated subject. Nevertheless, there were people who gained popularity and presented queer)
In 2013 the first legislation passed. It was an "anti-propaganda" law to "protect children" from becoming gay. The way to work around it was putting +18 on any piece of media or an event that contained even a mention of the subject.
In 2022 anti-propaganda law stopped being for children only. LGBT was mentioned next to pedophilia, both in the same regard. The law was rushed (like many of the oppressive laws since the invasion in Ukraine) and it was not clear what exactly it meant. In practice it mostly affected movies, TV and internet publications.
Earlier this year, in june 2023, ban of transgender transitioning was put in place. Once again, very poorly worded. This one and the previous one had two main functions:
To censor opposition. Most of those, who disagree with the current state of politics in Russia, if not outright support LGBT, at least don't mind. This information can be dug up and used against said people.
To create an enemy. The war was supposed to be won quickly. They promoted their army to be the second greatest in the word, they promised to take Kyiv in 3 days. Nothing of that happened, but life for everyday people got worse. One of the ways to redirect that frustration is fight an enemy that doesn't exist.
The russian government does not care about queer people nor understands us. They preach to their electorate that they nurtured to hate any "other". They make russian believe that our neighbors are nazis, the whole world wants us dead and they take our children by making them gay. I believed this is where they would stop.
There is no "LGBT organisation" in Russia. Before that they tried to find any minute reason or make up a reason to silence the opposition. Now they don't even need the organisation to exist.
Once again, the words are very loose, so they can use the law in any way they see fit - a very popular practice. It is not yet active, the court decision does not specify that exactly. Some sources say it will be 10th of January, 2024.
Any display of "non traditional values" will be equated to terrorism.
#lgbtqia#lgbtq#lgbt#russia#legislation#homophobia#any correction is welcome#i didnt mention all of the homophobic laws#these ones are the once that affected public life the most#however sad that is#terrifying even#all of that is only one symptom of a very large problem#and i dont know if there is a solution#other than to wait for the system to fall under its own weight#i heard people comparing this to iran#where government censorship and sanctions are lasting decades now#political activists are being censored#eco-activists#teachers#i cant even feel sad anymore

i feel like. the more i like and care about something. the less i am capable of watching video essays about it. game i never heard of and don't intend to ever play? sure i'll watch 8hrs discussing it's flaws.
but thing i like? if you think you can point out flaws i'm not already aware of, you are dead wrong. none know better how much my interests suck than me.
and also. if you get one thing wrong about them i'll maul you. with things i like it means i've already seen every single piss on the poor take of it ever, and i'm much more polarized. i got emotional investment. i'm going to start biting people.
#feli speaks#i keep getting recommended video essays about fe fates#like. bro. bro i KNOW#i know the story is best enjoyed when you build a mind palace of headcanons#i know the supports vary wildly in quality#i know the localization discussions. i know the gameplay discussions and how the pair up system is peak#or worse yet. engage video essays. shut the fuck up. i already know everything#of course the solution is to just NOT watch them and i DONT#this is inspired by how i did click on one but clicked off 40seconds in because the moron just HAD to get the jab in at engage#you're trashing engage in a FATES VIDEO??? when being an engage defender is what made me give fates a shot in the first place??#like are you out of your mind. fates and engage are brothers in arms

i still think a lot about how technically, it's implied Anubis and Walt started dating each other before they asked out Sadie, and if Sadie had said she wasn't interested they would have gone "Entirely fair have a nice day" and proceed to just go continue to date each other.
Cause like, that was the entire thing. They decided that themselves. That things would work best if they were together (as in both physically sharing a body and also relationship-wise). The "asking Sadie about it" part was secondary. If she had said no, they would have stayed together, because among other things Walt would kind of die if they didn't. Walt and Anubis are technically the first gay couple in the Riordanverse. AND they're in a polyamorous relationship with Sadie. Why does no one talk about them ever.
#tkc#the kane chronicles#riordanverse#walt stone#anubis tkc#sadie kane#saltnubis#< great ship name btw#and for anyone who says ''i dont think Rick intended that'' mind you this book was released like#six months before HoH came out (and. subsequently also. Nico.)#like. Rick was not ignorant of queer stuff at that time. he was actively writing it into HoO/HoH while writing both simultaneously#if Sadie had said no they wouldn't have just gone ''okay Sadie pick one of us and the other will cease to exist on the mortal plane''#they would have gone ''okay well good luck we have a coffee date scheduled so we're gonna go do that''#saltnubis is still probably the most entertaining solution to a love triangle in middle grade media i have ever encountered#even some YA media. just ''yeah so we solved both our major problems by dating but like. we know you like both of us sooooo...?''#also hilarious that meanwhile Carter's romance arc is ''so turns out my first girlfriend was a clone made of pottery''#''and the actual girl has never met me and this is kinda awkward''

(X-Men #25)
#xmen#xmen comics#professor x#charles xavier#snap scans#snap chats#i solemnly swear not to abuse this information <- lying#like ya couldnt have built an elevator .... or a ramp ........ why do you do this to yourself this seems complicated dont you think#forced to ask the question how many other bits a bullshit like this exists in his house. i hope the answer is a lot#charles xavier has the right to turn his house into inspector gadget's cousin i think but how do you even come to this solution#'theres a very slim possibility i'll walk downstairs and fall how should i protect myself if the time comes. wall tentacles.'#like girlfriend. did you know i love you.#ok im finishing this issue than im working. im going to the comic shop with my friend later today so thatll be fun !!!!!#bye :)

mom come pick me up people related to my personal posts too much
#top 3 people on that post:#no 3: the people giving out advice even though i explicitly did not want it#no 2: people misunderstanding the post wholesale#the winner: the person who said I should try drugs#babygirls. all of you. listen its not that deep or dire#regardless of whatever the creative predictability of art is present or not in factual terms according to *your* subjectivity and perceptio#it doesnt change the fact that the author would still sometimes like to simply feel accomplished about what they have created#and yes one can train their creative muscles to make objectively and technically out there stuff but this here isnt about the factual truth#its about the subjective emotional experience of the author#and frankly? let the emotion come to you#digest it#let it go and go make more art#you don't have to claw at solutions you dont have to get defensive you dont have to yell at me to change#you dont know my approach to art. to the act of creation. to life.#you only know how i briefly felt on a tuesday night yesterday

The idea of Dale not feeding himself for possibly days on end is terrifying when you consider that might result in him not feeding the actual newborn baby he's in charge of for similar amounts of time.
Dale is absolutely not in charge of feeding Dev. Devs primary caretakers have been au-pairs.
Dales eating disorder is just about the only trauma he's made sure Not to pass on. Even if he denies it he is aware that his eating habits are fucked, he just cant bring himself to do anything about it. If there's one thing Dale always makes sure of its that Dev at least has access to food.
#Dales problem is that he finds the act of eating straight up revolting. He hates it. everything he tastes reminds him of the basement#He lives off of like the worlds blandest granola bars. If he didnt have the Au-pairs force feeding him snacks he would be dead I think#The thing about Dale to me is that he genuinely wants to make sure Dev has a better childhood than he did#Unfortunately 'not trapped in a lemon basement for 7 years' is an extremely low bar#The other problem is that Dale is straight up not good at empathy.#He knows that hes a bad father.that he cant love his son properly. So his solution to that is being as uninvolved with Devs life as possibl#He genuinely thinks its best for dev to be raised by robots#He was separated from his own dad for so long. And then his dad was so distant that-#-I genuinely dont think he realizes how important a parent love is supposed to be for a kid

WAIT SHUROS DAD SAID HE WANTED HIM TO BRING SOMETHING BACK INTERESTING.... AND WHO IS MORE INTERESTING THAN LAIOS....
#he also cited lack of flexibility in thinking. so surely the solution is shuro realising u can like men..........#wait... wait imagine. this wasnt the point of the post but everyone imagine with me#fake dating au but not on purpose shuro Does bring back the fucking king of the risen golden kingdom#but his dad takes it as him bringing his significant other back and says he wins#and laios goes But thats not-#and shuro claps his hand over his mouth like Wait a minute.#and when he gets back everyone agrees its the dumbest thing he could have done#im torn between chilchuck laughing or screaming at him. and kabru straight up murdering him#i dont know if itll be a recreation of the laios proximity disgust meter#or he comes back to a party popper exploding in his face with the banner Congrats on your marriage!#maybe both#god it is so difficult to come up with a ship name for them#but i need to. even if im just populating the tag with my screaming#laishuro????? maybe????#they dont have a lot of overlapping letters...#ok laishuro is free and also this is the only post that comes up if u search it here. weve done it lads#laishuro#dungeon meshi#will that even show up in the tags anymore. im a fool

#phrygian#palisade#friends at the table#fatt#rosa art#palisade 20#the worksheet. is also phrygian to be clear like i have to believe that a twilight mirage trained therapist would give out better material#than something i made in 10 minutes.#the branched....... the branched. branched concept of mental health care? who even knows. but it also has to be better.#and they definitly dont have worksheets. phrygian can make a bad one & then not really fill it out. it makes sense to me#i relistened to the therapy session to get the. timeframes saffron mentioned right and its like.wow this got even more depressing#in retrospect.#i tried really hard to make the worksheet look worse by scanning & printing & scanning it again but we JUST got a new printer at work#alas. it works too well.#btw can you tell im having fun with screentones? because i am.#its a nice solution for 'i dont want this in monotone but i ALSO dont want to color'#id in alt text#i hope its fine.#palisade spoilers#but from like 4 episodes ago.im just careful.#i havent listened to the new ep yet idk if ill get to it tomorrow?#MAN............... phrygian : (

As Tales of Symphonia was my first Tales game and the only game I've beaten like five times completely... it holds a special place in my heart. I really love the cast and I was a walking strategy guide for it back in the GameCube days.
I had all the unlockable outfits carried over into NG+ (gotta collect those swimsuits baby) and honestly. I just. Really like this game. I haven't played it in a while but I have it on PS3 and now I long to hook it up and play it (sorry to my many other Tales games I haven't beaten once on PS3......).
#tales of symphonia#colette brunel#martel yggdrasill#i love my dottr coletteeeeeeeeeeeeee#and also i love everyone but anyway here hi hello#this game really hit me as a kid and i dont know if id enjoy it as much now but i still wanna try again lol#my kiddos......#did i possibly print out the strategy guides from gamefaqs and then proceed to memorize all the solutions back in the day?#yes i did indeed print out SO MANY guides for various things for this game#but hey man i had a blast with learning everything#granted my memory is now fuzzy but its to be expected after so long

#1 thing i'm most afraid abt in the revival is the candace characterization actually bc we are in a paradox here
fact: candace's endless torment was part of the backbone of the show, one of the constants that kept the plot structure going. phineas and ferb must always do something new. candace and doofenshmirtz must always lose. any exceptions to these rules can't be permanent. status quo must be upheld.
fact: candace against the universe's character development seemed to finally be breaking this cycle. candace isn't alone anymore, she's letting go of her obsession to see the support that was always there for her and thus she's escaped her sisyphean cycle. to go back to the old status quo after this would be massively unsatisfying.
fact: the reboot is supposed to take place AFTER candace against the universe.
so what do we do now
#i almost deleted this it didnt super feel like i have a point to make but i went to the effort of typing it out so.#i mean the solution seems to be to have candace join in with her brothers in the reboot but im worried the show wont break that status quo#like that change would be really huge i just dont know if theyll do it#but if we backpedaled on the events of candace against the universe it would be a huge loss and just really tiring to go backwards#idk man. idk#phineas and ferb#candace flynn#pnf tag#harold.txt

i was gonna ask this on my main but I'll probably actually get answers on this blog
how does one clean a wool hat?
i obtained a wool hat through thrifting means, and every instruction, both on the hats tag and online, have told me to just lightly dab it to clean it, which is probably the correct way to do it. the issue is, again, the fact that i thrifted it, so i dont really trust that to clean it all the way
do i just gotta suck it up and accept the hat will never be entirely clean, or is there another way i could clean it?
#not crab posting#ive never had to hand wash clothes before idk what im doing#and this is apparently too specific of a scenario to look up the solution#because all the answers ive found have only been for new hats#which is not what i have#hand washing clothes isnt the issue actually its really not that hard. i know HOW to do it but just havent yet#wool is special though#and i dont wanna mess it up#well. apparently wool isnt actually that special for clothes#but like hats are different i think? and also just like. raw wool. i believe thats the word#idk ive never even TRIED cleaning wool before#um. help :(
