it genuinely pisses me off that ukraine has to resort to pointing at its civilian death count to garner sympathy and action from the world.
can you even imagine how many of our soldiers have laid down their lives to push russia back? for some reason, there is this belief that soldiers’ lives do not matter once they become combatants, yet before they took up the role they were ordinary civilians just like the rest of us. they were teachers, bakers, students. they had peaceful lives, they have families, and they just want ukraine to be safe and at peace so that they may return to those lives.
they matter, they count towards our death toll, yet people see news of our soldiers passing and dont even spare a second glance. they are ukrainians too, they matter. with every day that russia invades us, ukrainians are dying, whether they are civilians or not.

Can we talk about how CRAZY it is that the UN General secretary visited Russia? Start a brutal war against your neighbour and then escelate it eight years later! Commit ecoterrorism, threaten nuclear terrorism, and intentionally and actively target civilians! In fact, why not kidnap them AND their kids and "rehome" those kids with your own citizens and punish them for expressing their own culture while you're at it! Commit genocide- as a treat! These actions have minimal consequences and absolutely will not make you a pariah state!

Александровский пассаж – это изумительный архитектурный памятник построенный в духе модерна и барокко. Архитектором великого творения стал Генрих Руш.
В конце 19-го века один из богатейших казанских купцов Александр Александров решился на возведение грандиозного по тем временам торгового здания. Строительные работы шли на протяжении 4 лет и обошлись в баснословную по тем временам сумму – 800 тысяч рублей! В 1883 году глазам казанцев предстало уникальное строение, в честь своего основателя получившее название Александровский пассаж. Особенно выделялось стеклянное покрытие внутреннего двора, которое должно было покорить казанских жителей. Так же в здании было свое воздушное отопление и лифт, который в те времена были в диковинку.
Главный вход (на ул. Кремлёвскую) акцентирован на высоту 2 этажей портиком с двумя скульптурными фигурами кариатид. Фасады оформлены эклектичным архитектурным декором с преобладанием барочно-ренессансных элементов. Главный купол фасада украшен часами, спроектироваными выдающимся мастером Йоханом Войле. Башенные часы исправно работали до самой смерти Александрова и за это время останавливались только 2 раза – в день женитьбы и в день рождения дочери купца. После того, как сердце основателя пассажа перестало биться, стрелки часов замерли на одном месте и с тех пор никто не может запустить механизм Интерьеры здания украшены фигурами людей, изображениями масок лиц, лепными украшениями. Элементы декора, которые использовались при внешнем оформлении здания, неоднократно дублируются. Большинство принадлежит к масонским символам, так как главный архитектор пассажа Генрих Руш был членом этого тайного ордена. Лишь один из них не повторяется – так называемые «зубастые рыбки», которые находятся неподалеку от парадного входа.В середине центрального здания находится светильник — бронзовая статуя женщины, держащей за руку младенца.
После смерти Александрова его сестра передала пассаж Казани и попросила городские власти обустроить в нем публичный музей.  Однако для городского музея здание оказалось непригодным и здесь разместили меблированные комнаты и магазины. К концу советского периода здание оказалось в состоянии, близком к аварийному. В 1977 году произошло сильное обрушение, из-за ослабевших гру��тов произошло проседание его северного угла. Около 30 лет здание было закрыто на реконструкцию. С тех пор здание Пассажа постоянно покупают и продают, но какие-то ощутимые работы судя по всему внутри так и не ведутся.
The Aleksandrovsky Passage is an amazing architectural monument built in the spirit of Art Nouveau and Baroque. The architect of this great creation was Genrikh Rush.
At the end of the 19th century, one of the richest Kazan merchants, Aleksandr Aleksandrov, decided to build a grandiose commercial building at that time. The construction work lasted for 4 years and cost a fabulous sum at that time - 800 thousand rubles! In 1883, the eyes of Kazan residents appeared on a unique building, named Aleksandrovsky Passage in honor of its founder. The glass covering of the inner courtyard, which was supposed to conquer the Kazan residents, stood out especially. The building also had its own air heating and an elevator, which were a novelty at that time.
The main entrance (on Kremlevskaya Street) is accentuated by a portico with two sculptural figures of caryatids at a height of 2 floors. The facades are decorated with eclectic architectural decor with a predominance of Baroque and Renaissance elements. The main dome of the facade is decorated with a clock designed by the outstanding master Johan Voyle. The tower clock worked properly until Alexandrov's death and during this time it stopped only 2 times - on his wedding day and on the birthday of the merchant's daughter. After the heart of the founder of the passage stopped beating, the clock hands froze in one place and since then no one has been able to start the mechanism. The interiors of the building are decorated with figures of people, images of face masks, stucco decorations. The decorative elements that were used in the exterior design of the building are repeatedly duplicated. Most of them belong to Masonic symbols, since the main architect of the passage, Heinrich Rusch, was a member of this secret order. Only one of them is not repeated - the so-called "toothy fish", which are located near the main entrance. In the middle of the central building there is a lamp - a bronze statue of a woman holding a baby's hand. After Aleksandrov's death, his sister gave the Passage to Kazan and asked the city authorities to set up a public museum in it. However, the building turned out to be unsuitable for a city museum and furnished rooms and shops were placed there. By the end of the Soviet period, the building was in a state close to emergency. In 1977, a strong collapse occurred, due to weakened soils, its northern corner subsided. The building was closed for reconstruction for about 30 years. Since then, the Passage building has been constantly bought and sold, but apparently no significant work has been done inside.

(and to getting it back without someone else coming along with it)
bear with me. please keep an open mind. however if you don't want aimless details of this scenario feel free to ignore, there's really not much plot just context.
in this one ame botches a manic magic portal ritual and gets decapitated by accident, and his head disappears but his body is still somewhat sentiment? its not particularly intelligent but it still functions (comically). canada takes his body to england (arthur bc this isn't nationverse anymore) to open a proper portal and him and the body then head (haha) into the unknown dimension to retrieve his head.
meanwhile ame (just a head) is found by rus who is a kind of demon entity of that dimension... they have a "humans are lame" plan to find ame another body and make him an entity too, rus claims it's so he has a friend but ame would be more of a servant by magic system rules and would not be able to return home without the other (not that he knows. rus does though). cana plans to turn ame normal. 🤦‍♂️...
bottom line is, cana (and ame, independently from eachother) squealing like a girl because the demon world is scary, the inherent freakiness of whatever they have going on, iykyk iydyd, ame body walking into walls and ame head carried like a lantern by the scarf and talking to rus. i also like the idea of them somehow messing something up and all three ending up back in the human dimension, except ame is still in two pieces and whatever rus touches visually starts to spiral so they have to go back and fix something. a few more episodes should come after this. ill let you know when i settle on an ending. yay!

Discord is basically a spyware program with the NSA crawling through it so no shit Russia blocked it. If I were in conflict with the USA I'd block all the shit I possibly could
usa is shit, but don't you come to my DMs trying to defend russians gov
bc they are shit too, I'd say they are worse but honestly I don't think its productive to argue on which's government is crappier

Trump wouldn't answer when asked if it was in the USA's best interests for Ukraine to win.
I would like to show people why it is in America's best interests, anyone who isn't clear about it.
For one thing, to not be complicit in atrocities. There are other things, but for me it's on the top of the list. Siding with russia means being ok with war crimes. That's not the kind of America I want to live in.
Idk, maybe I'm in the minority and people are ok with torture and rape and people bombed apart if it is done to Ukrainians, by russians.

Thoughts on if the USA will pass Israel 'aid' separate from Ukraine 'aid'?
Think the Dems would much rather give concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than allow anything to impede either war, think GOP would rather force concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than to do anything more than huff and puff about Ukraine

Tell me about YOUR favourite historical figure and what it is you like about them the most 😄 (also any images are added bonus 🙏🙏)
Bullet points on why I love Felix Yusupov so much, because otherwise I'd be here all night:
Oddly enough not the "killing Rasputin" thing, though he did do that
His general incompetence over anything and everything.
He did drag and crossdressing when he was younger and did performances. His exact gender identity is unknown, mainly due to lack of terminology during the time, but he was gender-spicy for certain.
Raging bisexual and considerably open about it in his memoirs for the time period.
Loves his wife. Turns into a bumbling mess whenever he writes about her. She was a badass btw. I can't blame him.
Killed Rasputin WITH the help of his lover, Dmitri. Pretty sure those two shacked up afterwards.... but you know.
He actually planned to do a lot of charitable work with his family's money and estates, including opening museums and restoring wetlands and such, but the other nobles hated the fuck out of this idea and also the revolution kind of forced him out of the country before he could try.
Pathetic. Absolute fool.
According to his own accounts of the assasination, he passed out and fell down the stairs after killing rasputin. This is why he wasn't there when they disposed of the body. All adaptations omit this event.
His memoir Lost Splendor is marketed as "the amazing memoirs of the man who killed rasputin" but it is only 20% about rasputin and 80% random shit he pulled as a kid. Tom Sawyer type shit. This book is genuinely one of the most entertaining things I think I have ever read. One day I might make a comic adaptation.
Pretty sure this man had ADHD. The symptoms are all there...
The first time I kissed a girl was because I was having an autistic info-dumping session on this dude and she thought it was super hot 🔥
Some of my fav pics include:
This goofy cropped one (its one of our discord emojis lmao). His little squint is so funny to me ahshdhshhs
Tumblr media
This photo is just very charming. 10/10. My current computer background. Also a discord emoji.
Tumblr media
These two i just find to be cute ::3 I really love photos of him with his wife, Irina, because again she was a baddie. Also I'm such a sucker for photos of people working.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This last one I just really like because it's very fun and playful. The boy on right is Felix as a tot, and the other on the left is his brother, Nicholas (I really love Nicholas auuughhh).
The right photo is the original postcard scan, and the left is a version I did as photo restoration practice ::]

Someday I will write 90s Amerus fic. That day isn’t now (biggest writing block rn), but someday. Many of the 90s fics in the English fandom are too incorrect in my opinion when it comes to historical contexts — and I know why, but it is 😄 grating

Заброшенная больница судорабочих в Рыбинске.
Ансамбль деревянных зданий расположен на левом берегу Волги на Бурлацкой улице, и скромно стоит в тени лип. С дороги хорошо виден главный корпус с надписью «Больница». Улица не случайно называется Бурлацкая, а на набережной Рыбинска стоит памятник бурлаку. Когда-то Рыбинск был негласной столицей бурлаков, профессии тяжелой и теперь давно забытой. Каждый год тысячи бурлаков стекались в город в дореволюционные годы.
Больница появилась в 1880 году. Первый вклад сделал купец А.Ф. Фролов, отдав под больницу свою землю, за ним и другие горожане пожертвовали деньги на строительство лечебницы. Вскоре были построены первые здания. Весь ансамбль больницы построен в неорусском стиле. Исполнение вызывает уважение мастерством обращения с деревом. Обшивка доской выполнена поперек, вдоль и ёлочкой, красив деревянный, резной на просвет фриз, изящная обналичка, детали выноса крыши, сохранилась мелкая расстекловка окон, филенчатые двери.Вообще, удивительно, что все эти деревянные постройки сохранились до сих пор и на территории больницы не было не одного пожара.
Врачи здесь принимали больных только во время навигации, лечение было бесплатным.Бурлаки и другой рабочий люд могли получить медицинскую помощь, постель, еду и приличное одеяние. Профиль больница сохранила и в советские времена. Сюда обращались речники и жители левого берега Волги. В 90-е жизнь в больнице начала угасать. Закрылся хирургический корпус, уехали врачи. Двери пустующих зданий заколотили, охранять ветшающие памятники культурного наследия оставили старенького сторожа.В 1993 году все здания больницы судорабочих были признаны выявленными памятниками культурного наследия.
Следить за сохранностью имущества сейчас некому, всё активно разрушается и приходит в упадок.Здания производят удручающее впечатление. Стекла в окнах разбиты, крыши сломаны, двери выбиты. В помещениях разбросаны документы. Памятник культуры, построенный рыбинцами, пережил падение империи и 70 лет советской власти. Теперь старой больнице самой нужна забота и лечение, иначе уникальный памятник исчезнет навсегда.
An abandoned hospital for ship workers in Rybinsk.
The ensemble of wooden buildings is located on the left bank of the Volga on Burlatskaya Street, and stands modestly in the shade of lime trees. The main building with the inscription "Hospital" is clearly visible from the road. It is no coincidence that the street is called Burlatskaya, and there is a monument to a boatman on the Rybinsk embankment. Once Rybinsk was the unspoken capital of boatmen, a difficult profession and now long forgotten. Every year thousands of boatmen flocked to the city in the pre-revolutionary years.
The hospital appeared in 1880. The first contribution was made by the merchant A.F. Frolov, who gave his land for the hospital, followed by other townspeople who donated money for the construction of the hospital. Soon the first buildings were built. The entire ensemble of the hospital is built in the neo-Russian style. The execution is respected by the skill of handling wood. The board covering is made across, along and with a herringbone pattern, a beautiful wooden frieze carved into the lumen, elegant cashing, details of the roof removal, small glazing of windows, paneled doors have been preserved.In general, it is surprising that all these wooden buildings have survived to this day and there has not been more than one fire on the territory of the hospital.
Doctors here took patients only during navigation, treatment was free.Boatmen and other working people could receive medical care, a bed, food and decent clothing. The hospital maintained its profile even in Soviet times. Rivermen and residents of the left bank of the Volga applied here. In the 90s, life in the hospital began to fade. The surgical building was closed, the doctors left. The doors of empty buildings were boarded up, and an old watchman was left to guard the dilapidated monuments of cultural heritage.In 1993, all the buildings of the Shipbuilders Hospital were recognized as identified cultural heritage monuments.
There is no one to monitor the safety of property now, everything is actively being destroyed and falling into disrepair.The buildings make a depressing impression. The glass in the windows is broken, the roofs are broken, the doors are knocked out. Documents are scattered in the rooms. The cultural monument built by the Rybintsy survived the fall of the empire and 70 years of Soviet rule. Now the old hospital itself needs care and treatment, otherwise the unique monument will disappear forever.

this user watched "The Master and Margarita" (2024) and she hopes that whenever this movie gets a digital release, it also gets english subtitles, because honestly, this was the best movie I've watched in the past few years
