#russian by non-russians

It's honestly frustrating that I've seen non-Russian queer people almost bragging about how they would be illegal in Russia, labeled an extremist or terrorist. Russian queers are in danger, their government has made it clear where it stands, and it's made this effort for the better part of a decade (even longer, perhaps). This will kill people, don't mistake this for a quirky little proclamation from a government, akin to somebody saying the sky is pink. Russian queer people were already expressing their fear, and the least we can do now is express our love for them, and advocate with them.

Russian queer people, I love you. I love you all so much. I am so sorry, I cannot begin to express the grief that I feel, and I hope that you are safe. Words cannot encapsulate how I feel as a non-Russian, and I cannot hope to comprehend how it feels to actually be in this situation.

If you're USamerican and feel very strongly about how people vote in this upcoming election, if you feel hopeless about how those around you aren't voting, here's some suggestions.

Sign up to be a poll worker or election worker in your county. You might need to call or email the local election office to find out how to do this.

Get very familiar with your local voting process and its bureaucracy. Know the important deadlines and remind people of them. (Being a poll worker helps a lot with this.)

Ask your friends and family if they're voting. Have progressive voting guides on hand if they don't know who or what to vote for. Offer to drive people or go with them to vote. Fill out your mail-in ballots together.

Organize and join get out the vote campaigns. Canvass. Table. Flyer. Call. Text.

Don't shame people for ambivalence, disinterest, or hostility to voting. Be curious. Provide practical advice and tangible support.

Upd: I have a feeling that some non-russian speaking folks would love to know wtf is going on the pic so I added a translation in the description to it.

Odesa.... 14 dead, among them first responders, because russians used their trademark double tap tactic: hit a populated area once and then again shortly later, just as the medics and rescuers arrived.

Russia literally directly opposes the very concept of humanity.

A post where a Westerner whines about people holding Russian culture accountable for their imperialism saying this is "dehumanising poor babushkas" or some bullshit bad-faith interpretation: 44'000 notes

Posts where Eastern Europeans detail, explain, tediously lay out the impact of imperialism on their lands and their discrimination in the West: 300 notes, mostly from other Eastern Europeans

Maybe it's that imperialist countries understand each other and would rather boost each other's voices :)

feeling unwell about timebomb again, did you know that in the russian league of legends localisation ekko's 'I had a crush' was turned into 'I almost fell in love with you!', why do I feel like it makes their situation even more heartbreaking???

Bonjour! Je voulais juste vous demander (et aussi demander vos abonnés) comment dire iel (où they) en allemand et en russe. Je suis en train d’apprendre les deux et comme j’utilise iel/they en français/anglais, je voulais vraiment savoir comment faire la même en allemand et en russe. Désolé si vous n’êtes pas qui je devais demander, je sais que c’est parfois très compliqué et parfois il y a beaucoup de réponses. Merci tellement!

Что такой “they” (местоимение) по русский? Я изучаю русский язык и я хочу знать. Это «они» или что-то другое? Спасибо!!

Ich möchte gern wissen wie sagt man „they“ auf Deutsch. Vielen Dank!

(ask from spyld 2023)

Nice question!! So I'm throwing it open to other languages too!

How to be gender neutral in x language??

I think all of my problem would be solved is I was a cartoon man. Specifically Victor Nikiforov.

Illyana Rasputin and the Russians in Ultimate Invasion #4

I know this is supposed to be a dystopia, but be honest—even aside from the fact that Illyana gets to rule, doesn’t it look like Omega Red is in a better place mentally than we’be ever seen him in any reality? I guess Illyana takes care of her people.

still so strange discovering my gender, so many times I think "that's what any women can like/do/prefer/feel too, you are not something different actually" but then getting back to "yes but no, I like it bc I feel like something different.. more than woman, more than man... it's neither, it's both, it's something third, its something i want to be but who i still havent found yet, but its there and its waiting to be born" and I still don't know what I mean by that

but its coming up to be someone cool, I hope
