I am so rarely serious here, I mainly post fandom stuff and on some ocassions weird day to day shit. However, a personal note today. Per my bio, I am Ukranian (from Kyiv).

As such a reminder: this war has been going on for ten years not two. Just because people in the West decided to remember that IDPs exist and Russia annaxed Crimea within the past two years, doesn't change the fact that Russia invaded Crimea ten years ago all of my paternal family is from Donetsk/Luhansk and have been internally displaced for years. I am privileged that my lived experience is that of IDPs, refugee registrations, destroyed property, and not lives lost. I am lucky to say I lost the city of Mariinka not specific people. R*ssians are delusional and genocidal. When ~80% of your country supports a war you cannot look at the victims and declare that they are Russaphobic for the very accurate assessment that the majority of R*ssians want Ukrainian's dead and do not believe in the sovereignty of a Ukranian state.

As such if you have the financial means, I leave a couple fundraiser links here, both for the armed forces and humanitarian aid. While humanitarian aid is greatly appreciate, I urge people to remember we save ten dollars on humanitarian aid for every dollar folks give directly to the armed forces. This is not about finances, but about the fact that humanitarian aid is vital but doesn't stop Russian forces. Drones and artillery shells and the bravery of Ukrainian armed forces does. We ask only for armament, we will do the rest ourselves.

Finally, while I acknowledge that we live in a finite attention economy, and I chose to spotlight Ukraine today (because the onus is on us as Ukranians, no one else will advocate for us) doesn't mean peopel shouldn't stand in solidarity and support other folks suffering from armed conflict. I personally stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine (I urge people to keep boycotting organizations funding genocide and to continue calling for a ceasfire), of Armenia, Myanmar, Sudan, Syria and the DRC. We arguably understand each other's experiences the most, and can achive lasting change only through collation. I also acknowledge the racist treatment of most of these wars. It is fundamentally unjust my family has an easier time with refugee registration because we are white.

I have to keep on believing this war will end and we will rebuild one day. Слава Україні і героєм Слава! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Eileen is improved Saltburn for the sapphics 🌈💗

putting myself on blast here for absolutely no reason, whatsoever. But trying to finish working through Rose Fangs and Wolf Thorns, iykyk, and I am at the million word mark and holy shit this fic is sooo long I have quite a bit left to go

Today I present Catanmunism, your leftist-friendly, improved alternative to Catan. My friend and I played it pooling resources and trying to ethically settle (a long debate before hand was had about whether Catan is settler-colonialism, consensus yes, and whether we can ethically interact with the native population re: the robber) the island. Build all the settlements you can till you run out of pieces, create a community resource fund, upgrade everything. A more fun time has not been had.

Blessed by the gods today with the realization that Cersei is a boy mom, particularly to Joffrey, to a lesser extent to Tommen. The Maggy the Frong, "a younger, more beautiful," prophecy makes the boy mom tendencies worse actually. No, I will not be elaborating.

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!

The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

Living for the return of Mike Trapp to the dome. So glad Siobhan Thompson gets to do a non-intrepid heroes season. But why, why, is Hank Green here?

Shouting out Ludwig Göransson today. Initially listening to the Oppenheimer soundtrack, remembering the audio mixing in Tenet, I was a bit hesitant. Very glad to announce the score slaps and someone (bless their soul) stopped Nolan from going full Nolan with the audio mixing.

Never felt more secure in my asexuality than watching Oppenheimer. Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh (who I consider some of the most beautiful people) going at it elicited noting but a vauge sense of damn I wish they would stop from me.

A Russian-affiliated group hacking Ao3 for a ransom was super not on my 2023 bingo card.

It's all about the 🌟 narrative parallels 🌟 for me

There's been some confusion, for you see, my roommate is...

I have been asking this question for the past 11 years 🥲

It's October 3rd! 💗 (Sadly, not a Wednesday 😔.)

God bless Interview with a Vampire trending- the good fruity content I want on my dash.

Can I just adress the people making ship edits of "I lost focus and had a consunsual workplace relationship." Yes, it's an objectively funny line and super tonally weird. Yes, some of your edits are funny. Yes, men ain't shit. But also;

W H Y????????

Go outside and touch some grass please.

Not to sound bitchy about Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3- because I absolutely am excited. However. Cannot stress enough how much this undoes all the hard work James Mangold put into Logan being a beautiful send off to Jackman's potrayl of the character. In my opinion this is a loss. Logan was a tonally resonant finale and Deadpool 3 is just going to... fuck it up.
