So This Is My Contribution To This Fandom .

September 13th, 8pm Eastern, something HUGE is coming.

another thought: imagine a biopic about russian novelist coming out and everyone going crazy over it to realize that's another goncharov

this post is devoted to the situation in Belarus

please read, it's important. I feel that everyone cared and cared about Black Lives Matter matter, not only people from the USA. it's fair but why doesn't anyone from my feed say anything about Belarus? do you think that there problems aren't related to your life? maybe, but pay attention to other people too

in a nutshel: unjust election in Belarus led to riots, meetings among citizens. these people doesn't have any weapons and just try to claim that they want justice, that they have their own choice. but they are killed anyway.

many people are dying. people who did nothing bad or wrong. they were just unlucky that someone shot them while they were in the streets.

all information about that is available. there are photos, videos. the problem is that it's mostly on Russian or Belarusian.

what's more (and scarier): Internet in Belarus isn't working. all networks, providers were blocked. people try to use VPN services, but not all of them are working and not everyone can even find the connection to download a VPN app. and what does mean? people can't talk with their friends, learn about what is happening right now. they are scared and alone. they afraid of leaving houses because they can be killed. even if they are just walking outside.

it isn't secret that I'm Russian. so I know many people from Belarus, I understand what is happening. but do you know what is shown on Russian TV? on TV they tell us that nothing bad is going on, the election was fair and people who protests against its results are ukranians and poles (because they do that to destroy Belarusian state system). yeah, it sounds like they are nuts but it's just a Russian propaganda

so, as I have said, pay attention to some "small" countries too. maybe they don't have anyone to help them

Yess girl slaaayyyyyy wait no stop don’t actually girl what are you doing what are you doing stop stop stop oh my god god no no he’s dead no no no oh my god girl what have you done

PROTECT RUSSIAN TRANS LIVES!

I couldn't find any posts about it here so I've decided to write one myself and I just hope that someone sees it (and understands).

Recently we had this «referendum» about new changes in our constitution. There are many reasons why they are horrible (Putin now got the right to be on his post endlessly, for example), but I want to draw your attention at one specific provision that defines marriage as «a union between a man and a woman». On July the 14th, two weeks after these changes were admitted by people (read as «government faked our votes as usual») and a week after Putin told us that there's no discrimination in Russia, seven senators submitted a draft bill to amend our Family Code.

“The bill ends the practice of marriage between persons of the same sex, including those who changed genders”

senator Yelena Mizulina said.

So they're going to legally ban same-sex marriages and adoptions, including by transgender people. MOREOVER:

our birth certificates will have «assigned gender at birth» field

legal gender change will become forbidden, since it'll be impossible to change your birth certificate (and probably an ID card too)

trans people will be forced to change their replaced birth certificates (and ID cards) back to their birth gender if they've changed them before

“The bill must be adopted due to changes in public life, including the public demand to preserve traditional family values and strengthen and protect family institutions”

Great. You're trying to protect families by ruining other families and people's lives. You say that you care about children — but, in fact, you hurt many kids by taking them away from loving parents. And still, you're pretending that everything is going well while your people are suffering.
