STEPHEN FRY JUST DID THIS OH MY GOD

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

Friendly reminder that Belarus still has death sentence, so you totally can push Lukashenko into a cannon and yeet him off to Russia.

Also, keep an eye on the news - Lithuanians will be recreating the Baltic Way in support of Belarus and it's pissing Sasha off ;)

hello yes hi sebastian flyte art okay take it

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.

We are preparing for a Carulia Week event this time. The intention is to enjoy it among fandom people before season 3. This is not a competition.

When: It will probably start after the end of June. It’s going to be 3-4 weeks in total. A new topic comes out every week.

How: The type of topic hasn’t been decided yet. We going to listen to people’s opinions and decide. The event is held Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram. You have to have a hashtag when you participate.

- We will open a Tumblr so that we can collect and view the works of the people who participate in the event at once in a while.

- It’s okay if you didn’t participate in the event period. Even if you’re late for the event, we’ll update Tumblr.

※ Can you spread this publicity? Please let me know if you have any topics you want to try.
