The Russian Ministry of Justice has just filed a lawsuit against the entire LGBT+ community as an extremist organization.
Yes, the whole worldwide LGBT+ community. Yes, they have actually filed it in the Supreme Court. Yes, every single queer might be considered an extremist in Russia very soon.

Introducing...
Save Our Souls!!
(aka SOS AU/ the SOS AU)
It's a canon divergent Undertale AU that I'm working on writing. I'm not sure when I'll actually have any writing up, but I'm already really invested in it!
What is it?
Save Our Souls (SOS) is a canon divergent Undertale AU that breaks away from canon at the end of the Omega Flowey fight. After the human souls rebel, Flowey tries to reset, but things go wrong and Flowey and the human souls both start to "glitch out" before disappearing.
This leaves Frisk unable to reset, but not without hope of a happy ending. With Chara, their friend and ghost companion by their side, Frisk is determined to somehow find the human souls and save everyone. But will they be able to succeed?

Attention, this is not a joke but a killing joke,
Saudi Arabia takes over chairmanship of UN Commission on the Status of Women - human rights activists appalled.
Louis Charbonneau of Human Rights Watch made it clear on X (formerly Twitter): "Saudi Arabia's election to head the UN Commission on the Status of Women shows a shocking disregard for women's rights everywhere." A country that already imprisons women for fighting for women's rights has no right to such a post, Charbonneau continued.
He also criticised the other countries in the Commission for not preventing the change. "If everyone had stood up straight, this wouldn't have happened. But everyone kept quiet."
How can something like this go so wrong?
Abdulaziz Alwasil, Saudi Arabia's UN envoy, will be the chairman. According to the Guardian, none of the envoys from 45 countries raised any objections to his nomination at the CSW's annual meeting. There were also no opposing candidates.
The Philippines actually held the chairmanship for two years. However, other members from Asia had urged the country to hand over the seat after one year. Bangladesh had actually been intended as the successor, but instead Saudi Arabia pushed its way to the top with a lot of lobbying.
Let's put it plainly: everyone has let themselves be bought by a world of greed and corruption! That's what the nice, generous Saudis love. They simply buy influence and culture, football, golf, ...... pukes sorry
Saudi Arabia is trying to polish up its image to the outside world with reforms such as allowing women to drive.
What a charade, makeup on the ugly face of the unjust state.
Hooray, the goat has been declared a garden.
And they are about to prove to the saudis what they think of women's rights.
Completely nothing
Case: Manahil al-Utaibi
Fitness trainer faces eleven years in prison in Saudi Arabia
There have been some makeup reforms in Saudi Arabia recently. The country wants to appear cosmopolitan. At the same time, critics are silenced with long prison sentences. The case of a young fitness trainer is apparently no exception.
According to human rights activists, a female activist in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to eleven years in prison for her choice of clothing and support for women's rights. Manahil al-Utaibi was sentenced in January - more than a year after her arrest - by a special court for terrorism, the organisation Amnesty International announced on Tuesday evening.
The accusations against the 29-year-old fitness trainer related to her clothing and her calls on social networks to end the male guardianship system in the kingdom. She had also published videos of herself without the traditional Abaja overdress.
Saudi Arabia's government confirmed the arrest in December following an enquiry into the case by a UN special rapporteur. Al-Utaibi had been convicted of "terror offences", it said. The country's laws would protect the right to freedom of expression unless actions could "violate or exceed the limits of public order or social norms".
The last sentence immediately made us think of George Orwell! Freedom of expression with limits is good!
Amnesty International and the human rights organisation ALQST urged the kingdom to release Al-Utaibi immediately and unconditionally. According to them, she was physically and psychologically abused in detention following her arrest in November 2022. In addition, she was held in an unknown location for several months.
Well, chairmanship of UN Commission on the Status of Women
How is the status of Al-Utaibi ?
One of the representatives of nice Mohammed bin Salman, who simply had a journalist killed and dismembered in Turkey.
Shit, nobody would believe that in a novel, if you want to write a novel like that at all.
The new human injustice game for women's rights only. Now new from the nice grinning man who rules Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia rights vs women's rights
The New Game
There is only one dice with over all one on it for the women
A stack of cards with a card for women on it say go to jail for a long time and lose your wife and even your bonus human rights.
The Saudis always have one more bonus card when they need it where it says we always win.
A board of politicians, police, special courts, torturers, prison and just an absolute terrorist suspect wife.
Start of the game: The woman catches and does something really stupid she thinks she's women right, and Saudi Arabia wins.
Game idea from the makers I have a journalist killed in Turkey and nobody can catch me : Moammed bin Salman.

I like your blog, we've been mutuals for years. But blogging about the met gala when there are children dying in Gaza? Fuck the met gala and your celebrity worship
at what point have I made it seem like I don't care about/support what's happening in gaza? I don't share a lot about it, but that's because most of what I see have graphic images and videos attached to the posts, and while I understand the thought process behind sharing them to make it seem more real to people, I'm uncomfortable with it because I know that if I was in that situation, vulnerable and injured or dead, I wouldn't want people gawking at me online just so they can pat themselves on the back for 'suffering in solidarity' by making themselves uncomfortable and miserable looking at me. I'm trying to be respectful. I've still reblogged things about gaza though. but honestly, if you've been following me for years, you'd know I'm a pacifist and wouldn't need me to make a statement saying I don't support people being killed. my God, dude.
also, celebrity worship? I can't even tell you who half the people at the met even were. I just like fashion. I post about a bunch of different things on this blog, and you haven't complained about that, so where's the threshold for things people are allowed to enjoy while bad things are happening in the world? fashion is off limits, but doctor who isn't? I can still post about musicals and not support murder, but aesthetic pictures are on par with launching a bomb myself? I truly hate to break it to you, but sharing links on tumblr is not going to fix this situation. denying yourself any shred of entertainment or enjoyment does not give you a moral high ground. what's happening is horrendous, but even if this is somehow magically peacefully solved tomorrow, there will still be other atrocities happening elsewhere in the world. that's unfortunately just how life goes. in no world am I saying we shouldn't care about every single atrocity that happens, I'm just saying if you can't find some time to be happy in your own life just because bad things are happening to others, you will never truly live a life at all. it sucks! but that's how it is. it's like when someone close to you dies, and the first time you laugh after you've started grieving feels like you're betraying them. but you aren't betraying them for continuing to live, just like you aren't betraying anyone else in the world who's suffering just because you don't spend 24/7 thinking and talking about them.
I do truly, genuinely, hope this all comes to a peaceful end, and soon. I'm not naive enough to believe for certain that it will. but I do know, at the end of the day, people are already aware of it. people know what's going on. sharing photos of dead and mutilated babies will not make any difference. you, and I, and everyone else online are not going to personally save gaza. pressure needs to be put on the people who can actually do something to make a change, and they don't care about what's online. arguing with people because you don't perceive them as doing 'enough' isn't going to accomplish anything other than getting them to a point of making them eye roll whenever they see you post, because at the end of the day, unless you're literally a top politician, you are doing the exact same amount to help as someone who reblogs less posts than you. sorry.
