and i will continue to make fucking noise about the fact our representation is disappearing rapidly during a key moment in history!!
Yeah it was me, I made the Cool S sword.
Sword is a cool s-word
ppl will post butch positivity with like 5 allusions to transmasculitity (binding, t, top surgery, etc) and 0 mentions of transfem butches
i love you butches on estrogen! i love you butches who feel caught between expressing yourself as a woman and as a butch because of transmisogyny! i love you butches who want/have bottom surgery! i love you butches who don’t! i love you butches who feel like butch is your gender and i love you butches who feel like butch is your sexuality!
i love you transfem butches! i love you trans women butches! i love you butches!
For those with covid conspiracies, they said Ukraine had secret biolabs. To those obsessed with Trump, they made a whole Hunter Biden extended universe. To those who are anti-nazi, Ukraine is full of Nazis. To those who are Nazis, Ukraine is full of Jews. To those who are anti-LGBT, Ukraine is depraved rainbow orgies and secret sex tunnels. To those who are pro-LGBT, Ukraine is full of homophobia and hate crimes. To those who are pro-NATO, Ukraine is too hopelessly corrupt and backward, to those who are anti-NATO, its ranks are filled with NATO mercenaries, gender-neutral toilets and furry conventions.
Hence the logical conclusion, if all of this is true, is that Ukraine is a hellscape of genetically-modified, CIA-armed, Satanic Nazi transgender Jewish furries slithering forth from sex tunnel biolabs to serve Emperor Biden.
For the Westerners & other people who don't/can't follow russian news and the russian speaking online space:
This is not satire! They do talk like this. They spread this kind of stuff as 'information'.
The only satirical part here is to put it all together in one sentence, but if you split it up into its components, you'll find each of these, broadly pushed and not just one single mention on someone's obscure blog or something, as russian propaganda. It's mind boggling really how that actually works on people but it does!
Ukrainians, do you remember the genetically engineered mosquitoes, that transmit deadly diseases, but only sting people with russian blood (and they do passport and ideology checks too I guess)? Let's look at it this way: According to Russia we're pretty much geniuses, with all the secret weapons and other technologies we've developed by now, in less than two years even, that lie beyond the world's collective scientific knowledge and capabilities. And we're having orgies whenever we're not currently working or plotting. And at least half of us are world class, armed to the teeth secrets agents or something. I'm starting to believe they're actually thinking very highly of us and are really just envious! Haha.
And also, according to russian propaganda, in addition to everything above, Ukrainians don't actually exist, but are just russians fooled to Western propaganda to think they are a separate nation, and russia is determined to keep killing us until whoever remains accepts it.
Yes it is absurd, yes it is contradictory, but you can see how effective it is...
Propaganda doesn’t need to make sense or even be self consistent. It just needs to be dominant.
Those screenshots are from Timothy Snyder’s class on Ukrainian history, which is very much worth watching:
In Russian propaganda, Ukraine is Schrödinger's Country. It is all things at once, however contradictory.
If you want to understand how we got here, this is a great place to start. I was gifted this education by Diana Savita Wagner (nee Snake, nee ykp-chk, nee keptmathilda) within days of the start of the war. Her recommendation was enough to encourage me to 'attend' the entire class. It was worth every second of my time.
You might find it so too.
For volunteer medic Diana who said herself before her murder: “when my death occurs, Russian propaganda will say I died at the hands of Ukrainians. That is not true. I was killed by Russia’s putin. Make sure everyone knows this.”
i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.
and looked it up…
i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.
you’re playing the game better than anyone else has ever played it
Digimon Tamers is my favorite Digimon anime series, bar none. Here's a drawing I did of the main protags
never should have let the Internet replace the words "obsession" "hobby" and "interest" with "hyperfixation" tbh
me when I randomly remember a small mistake I made ten plus years ago
"NO DWARVES IN MY FOREST 😡"
"Your wife is hot."
"...THIS ONE DWARF WITH IMPECCABLE TASTE CAN STAY"
this is the funniest overlap to me. elsa killed those guys
My man was really gonna let a fucking BEAR into his house for the views and the BEAR had to be the sensible one here
The bear said “You live like this?”
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.
