Я пачуваюся спакаванай у вакуумную абалонку

Я пачуваюся як быццам у чэраве, скавана, кантралявана... Але следам заўсёды ідуць роды, новае жыццё

Мне патрэбна паветра, мне патрэбна мара, мне патрэбна мэта

--------

I feel like I'm wrapped in a vacuum shell

I feel like I'm in the womb, constrained, controlled... But then there is always childbirth, a new life

I need air, I need a dream, I need a goal

There was a protest on campus for #freepalestine last week or the other week. I didn't know there was one until hours after, and it was already evening. If I had knew then what I know now (I now know what I don't know?) in this present moment, I would join without my partner -- who calls that place home -- because he was unavailable that day but also didn't know, and I have a feeling if he did know, he would make every effort to clear plans for the protest.

I would join wearing my Naviband merch shirt, either one of my white version or black version, which reads across my chest in Belarusian, "Мы прачнемся іншымі," or "We will wake up different." The lyrics to a song released right before the 2020 anti-Lukashenko protests, which became one of the unofficial anthems of the protests. Perfect timing.

Right now, we repeat. We repeat history. We repeat living history. We repeat and repeat.

EDIT: update there was another and we went to see then got very nervous uncomfy then had to leave. praise to everybody else braver than us

There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.

My Runners-Up, A Third Part

At the end of last week, I gave you a ranking of the runners-up both in the contest and my personal rankings. And now, similar to my personal rankings, I will give you my ranking of my personal runners-up by order of release date.

I will note here that instead of all the asterisks, the date I provide will be the date it became a Eurovision song. If a song was released earlier as a National Final song, only the date it won the National Final will count. Let's get to it!

2017: "Story Of My Life" by NAVIBAND (Belarus) *January 20* 2020: "Universo" by Blas Cantó (Spain) *January 30* 2015: "Goodbye To Yesterday" by Elina Born & Stig Rästa (Estonia) *February 21* 2018: "Under The Ladder" by Mélovin (Ukraine) *February 24* 2022: "Not The Same" by Sheldon Riley (Australia) *February 26* 2024: "Ramonda" by Teya Dora (Serbia) *March 2* 2023: "Samo mi se spava" by Luke Black (Serbia) *March 4* 2021: "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin (Italy) *March 6* 2019: "Proud" by Tamara Todevska (North Macedonia) *March 8* 2016: "Sound of Silence" by Dami Im (Australia) *March 11*

Not a lot of conclusions that I could pull here. The only thing that I could pull is that all my runners-up from 2015 to now have qualified for the grand final...really wish I could say the same for my winners haha. This was a really interesting thing to look at, though!

[littlesistersti]

Nickname: Stine or Sti online, offline nicknames are [need to know]

Height: 155 cm and I will always refer to that because I gave up with the weird 5 ft or 5’1 or 5’2 (is American)

Last thing I googled: Automatic fill in? My car bill.

For real? what is difference between IPA: /ʂ/ and /ɕ/ and /ʃ/ ?

I still don't know

Song that sums me up: you think your local dumba-s is that much self-aware?

Followers: enough to count on my fingers

Sleep: less than healthy on school days then way too much on days off

Dream job: screenwright or author but an actual dream job would be a superhero or supervillain or magician/thaumaturge/mage or secret agent in a sci-fi world

Wearing: my hair in a twist using a hair stick and a Betsey Johnson pink ballerina pen, ran out of ink

Book/movie that summarize me: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (books) or

any children's movie that has that one scene that makes you ask either "wait, this is for kids?" or "this is my gay awakening/where my kink began/why the villains were right"

Fav song: it changed every year because Eurovision but if I have to list non-ESC:

Biažy - Naviband,

И​с​п​о​в​е​д​ь Л​о​к​и \ Ispoved' Loki (Loki's Confession) - AeternA,

The Night (1988 Deathrock ver) - Aurelio Voltaire,

some punk rock songs for the amv nostalgia like I Promise - Simple Plan or I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin

If I Die Young - The Band Perry and Dead Hearts - Stars and Runnin' by Adam Lambert counts for the amv nostalgia too

Kyounosuke Yashitate cover of Sebonzakura in Kanji (so it sounds Han-Japanese) or Bad Apple performed by the Wagaku band

Lemon <\3

Eh? Ah, Sou

you can already see a pattern of something rock or something not typisk modern pop

I definitely forgot lots more

æsthetic: fairycore academia ... autumn academia but instead of orange/brown, it's reds ... uh there is pastel pink ... once in awhile I break the pattern and go for punk or lesbian/bisexual fashion ... there's a pining for 18th c. fashion but it's out of my league sadly

Fav author: Hans Christian Andersen, Mary Pope Osbourne, Lewis Carrol, @itsthelass , @speedygal , I can refer to fanfic authors right?, @xiranjayzhao - yet to read them but love their Youtube channel

Random fact: nobody told me being a film major is secretly a psychology major because f-- you, Freud and your p-nis envy / castration anxiety

proceeds to apply Mulvey and Freud to explain misogyny in films

Belarus has some.....interesting....choices when it comes to the contest, like “Cheesecake”, or the aptly named “I love Belarus” 

Given their last choice, it’s an interesting choice to have, which is why I’ve chosen to go with this kind of folksy entry.
