today I:

received the results of the second mock English exam.

studied biology and chemistry.

attempted to pass the quadratic function, but it turned out that I had to do it in front of the whole class, so I gave up ( I'm an introvert)

watched House MD 

,,A gentleman in Moscow" - Amor Towles

I saw your post about your gender feelings. Hang in there, bud.

If it helps, I was once told that no cis person ever questions "what they are", they just are. I get the imposter syndrome though, and the disconnect between your day to day and a small haven of peace where you can be yourself. I come from a conservative background, without any of the queer influences I enjoy today.

We're constantly growing, constantly learning new things about ourselves; I think that's part of the journey of being queer, rather than any indication you don't belong or aren't queer enough. You have a significant added challenge in exploring too and I hope one day they're gone. Much love and solidarity to queer Russians. 💜🤍💛💚

Already was on the brink of tears and now am crying, mate

Thank you, that thing about cis people not questioning kinda helped actually. I was told same about mental health issues (at least those can be confirmed with a paper and a stamp, huh). So i guess yeah. True. It's just the terf rhethoric about being confused and actually just seeking a way around patriarchy and all that bullshit that gets under my skin.

I'm happy you're free from those things in your past though, gonna live out my gay dreams through you and your art then, lol <3

I think another thing that is gnawing at me is that I am actually priviledged (and/or lucky). I had a lot of queer experiences that many other queer people here are absolutely robbed of. So it feels as if I'm kinda taking what they deserve more. Or that I can't be grateful enough for being able to have these things while others can't because I'm out here not even knowing what I am.

Anyway. Love wins. And we're here, proud and queer.

Love you 1969 times, thank you.

everyone is drawing hatsune miku as their culture but i think making her russian would not go over well or be a good idea so im sitting this one out lads

[mockva]

In Moscow, in one of the schools, in front of the teacher, an Armenian girl is being beaten while shouting “Russia for Russians.” During the beating, she was called a “hachiha.” The teacher didn't interfere

21st March 1985, INDIANS IN MOSCOW played Helter Skelter. 51 photos from that gig on my Substack today (free to subscribe) along with reviews of THE SHADOW MAJLIS' "The Departure" and Ultimate Spider-man #1 https://mickmercer.substack.com/

Also, today is my first HEMA training and I'm aaaaa so excited!!

Btw i don't know if Vikings Martial art considered a part of HEMA since the time period is off, but yet!! I'm gonna be the lady with the sword! Or an axe, or a spear! They can do both!!

“Shishkin read widely during those years, reflected on the meaning of art and came to the conclusion that the artist is duty-bound to study nature and reproduce it faithfully in his work”.

lmao the man was dead for seven years when this book came out and they’re still driving back and forth over his corpse

[official-chekov-enjoyer]

I have an Amazon Prime profile where I exclusively watch queer movies so all my suggestions are queer films. And also Top Gun: Maverick is in my suggested. So…

This Month In History - August

This is quite a month for landmark anniversaries, here's a few:

August 7, 2009: (500) Days of Summer opens

In August 2009, one of the great screen romances of the 00s was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2014. Happy 15 (500)DOS!

August 12-13, 1989: Moscow Music Peace Festival took place in Moscow

On the anniversary of Woodstock, a hard rock concert to benefit an addiction foundation took place in the Soviet Union in Aug. 1989. Here is my piece I wrote in 2014. Happy 35th Moscow Music Peace Festival!

August 13, 1999: Bowfinger opens

In August 1999, one of Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy's best movies was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 25th Bowfinger!

August 15, 1979: Apocalypse Now opens

In August 1979, one of the greatest war movies of all time opened. I don't know what was more epic and daring: the movie itself or Francis Ford Coppola making it as seen in the documentary Hearts of Darkness? It has been spoofed in other movies countless times, but you can't hold a candle to the original. Happy 45th AN!

August 16, 1989: Mother's Milk released

In August 1989, the 4th album from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was released. I was aware of the group prior to this album, but this is where I noticed and liked them. They also got some radio play with their cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground". It was also a transitional record in that it was the first album with Chad Smith and John Fusciante, the classic lineup! The next album Blood Sugar Sex Magik is where they really blew the roof off, but this is one of my favorite RHCP albums. Happy 35th MM!

August 18, 1969: Take the Money and Run opens

In August 1969, one of the funniest comedies ever was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 55 TTMAR!

August 18, 1989: Sex, Lives and Videotape and Casualties of War both open

In August 1989, two of my favorite movies from that year were released on the same day. Here is my piece I wrote in 2014. Happy 35th SLAV and COW!

August 19, 1994: Killing Zoe opens

In Aug. 1994, Roger Avery's best movie was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 30th KZ!

August 21, 2009: Inglorious Basterds opens

In August 2009, Quentin Tarantino's best movie of the 00s (and that's saying something) was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2014. Happy 15 IB!

August 23, 1994: Grace released

In August 1994, Jeff Buckley's only studio album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 30th Grace!

August 24, 1979: Rock 'n' Roll High School opens / Facts of Life premieres

In August 1979 both The Ramones' movie opened and one of the longest-running TV sitcoms premiered on the same day! Allan Arkush (a Roger Corman alum) directed the musical comedy movie that was reminiscent of 1950s rock-spoitation movies. In 2015, when I spoke with the film's star P.J. Soles at Rock and Shock, I asked what it was like making this movies and she said she said it was a blast working with The Ramones. I bet! Even though they were a punk band and the idea of movie about them seemed like a commercial move, this movie was nothing but fun! Here is the piece I wrote about Facts of Life in 2019. Happy 45 RNRHS and FOL!

August 25, 1994: My So-Called Life premieres

In August 1994, one of the greatest TV shows about being a teenager was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 30th MSCL!

August 30, 1994: Definitely, Maybe released

In August 1994 the debut album from Oasis was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Expect my album review of the upcoming anniversary release later this week. Happy 30th DM!
