#just putin that out there

[that-one-enby-ranger]

How much ya wanna bet that out there in the wild, there is at least one Horace X Halt shipper.

#if the fandom was a lot bigger than they would almost definitely have a ship #their shippers would probably be thinking about all the time they spent together in book 3 #and all the funny arguements and moments they've had #and the meaningful moments in book 9 #and they'd completely ignore the thing with Halt thinking of Horace as a nephew or second son #incest 101 #just to clarify #i DO NOT ship them #that is disgusting #that is wrong #that is cursed #hopefullt nobody thought that and thought that this was a confession #just putin that out there #rangers apprentice #ra #halt o'carrick #ra memes #ranger's apprentice #ranger apprentice #john flanagan #horace altman #wondwr what they're name would be #ra shitpost #rangers apprentice shitpost #shitposting #shitpost #cursed post #cursed ships #ra cursed

Sooo... can we keep the Russians out of the sport permanently yet? Or are we eventually going to let them come back with more doped up children? Something tells me the ISU and I have different opinions on what the answer should be.

Kamila Valieva: Russian figure skater given 56 medications and supplements over two years

#figure skating #allie says stuff sometimes #cannot believe worlds are next week already #i need to find out where i stashed my 🇨🇦🇯🇵 from the 2020 worlds that never happened #for the record i would very much like putin to not invade other countries #i just also want the russians to stay the fuck out of figure skating too instead of the isu sucking up to them asap

[radioactive-cloud]

one of my biggest wishes is for people to stop praising and admiring russian culture and language 🥰

#“omg umazane misli in russian wow so brave” #if singing in a language of a terrorist country is brave to you idk what to tell you educate yourself or smth #and ask yourself maybe why is singing in this language “brave” #“but they are innocent and didn't do anything wrong and probably don't support putin 🥺” i literally don't care #i'd exchange my knowledge of russian language (that i didn't ask for) for a handful of banana chips #writing this while i hear explosions btw (because of oh so brave people who speak russian and are so fucking proud of russian culture) #joker out #i'm not active in the fandom anymore so my opinion doesn't matter but i'm so fucking pissed i'm throwing it out there #i'm just a stereotypical angry ukrainian i guess #comes with seeing your country be destroyed

Address by Zelenskyy on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II

“They break into your house. They come to kill, burn, execute. They don't spare anyone – the elderly, women, children… They are beasts…”

These are the memories of the Nazi occupation survivors. 

And these are the memories of the Russian occupation survivors. The same horrors, the crimes of the same monsters. 

80 years ago, millions of Ukrainians fought to defeat Nazism forever. But today, Ukrainians are once again standing up to evil, which reemerged, returned, and wants to destroy us again. It’s an army of a fiend that kills, tortures and wipes peaceful cities and villages off the face of the Earth. This evil is called Russian fascism, or RF for short.

A witness to this is this basement in the village of Yahidne in the Chernihiv region. The ruscists herded all the villagers into it and kept them there for almost a month. All of them. 350 people, all the children of this village, 80 girls and boys, the youngest of whom was a month and a half old. Everyone in the world can understand what Putin's Russia is by imagining themself here, in this basement, among these people, without light, food, water, medicine, and air, in a room with less than a meter per person. They slept seated. They went outside only once. They ate 200 grams of soup a day. The men were stripped naked in the freezing cold to find Ukrainian tattoos. 10 of the hostages died here. It was forbidden to bury them. Another 17 people were killed by the ruscists. In any corner of the world, that’s known by the same word – hell. When entire villages are burned down, when there are mass executions, when people are put against a wall blindfolded to be killed – in any corner of the world, that's known by the same word – Nazism. If that's not Nazism, then what is that? 

And everyone on Earth knows history and remembers how to fight Nazism. It’s done with humanity united to oppose Hitler, not with buying oil from him or attending his inauguration.

Yahidne, a village that survived the hell of the RF, is just one example. It's just one village, but it reflects the essence of Putin's vision of the world, his real goals. And his goal is to force underground all those who want to live freely, to force a whole village into the basement, and then another one, and then the whole of Ukraine, and finally, force the whole world into the basement. For the RF, these are just stages of their morbid plan to imprison freedom in a ghetto, in a concentration camp called the "Russian world," and to export Russia's main asset – barbed wire – worldwide, by repeating the same scenario Hitler created 80 years ago: swallowing the lands of others step by step and testing the world’s reaction. And when the reaction is spineless, the Nazis keep going. Appeals, resolutions, and half-sanctions don't stop them. And the only question Putin is concerned about today is: Who's next?

Russia has officially approved a list of states that cannot feel safe and called it a “List of Unfriendly States.” Tellingly, it almost completely coincides with the list of the states of the Anti-Hitler Coalition. Those who defeated Nazism are enemies for modern Russia: the countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and almost fifty states in total. They are free, democratic and independent, which in the modern Kremlin ideology means “dangerous.” And therefore, they are targets.

The world didn't see the threat, the world slept through the revival of Nazism – at 5 a.m. on February 24, 2022. And today, everyone who remembers World War II and has survived to this day is experiencing déjà vu. The Battle of Kyiv, bombing of Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, mass graves, blockade of ports, plundering and seizure of grain, tortures, executions, deportation of children, filtration camps, and colonies for captives. Russia has brought pages from textbooks about World War II back into the headlines of the world's media. Russia has brought the terrible past back into the daily news, proving with each new crime that Nazism has revived. Just this time it has a new label: “Made in Russia.”

Recently, our society was moved by a photo of a man at the grave of his grandson who died at war. The father of this man was killed by the Nazis. His grandson's life was taken by the Russian occupiers. This is just one of the millions of examples that put the sign of equality between Nazism and modern Russia.

Today, Hitler's ideas are voiced in Russian. Nazi crimes are committed under the Russian flag. The difference is merely formal. The new Wehrmacht that invaded Ukraine wears a double-headed eagle on its sleeves. Kalibrs and Kinzhals are the new V-weapons, MiGs and Su-aircrafts are the new Luftwaffe, a Z symbol is the new swastika, and Yunarmiya is the new Hitlerjugend. There are dozens of similar parallels and hundreds of similar emulations.

And if the modern Kremlin resembles the Third Reich in everything, its end should be identical, taking place in the new Nuremberg – in the city of The Hague.

And like in 1945 this can only be ensured by a united free world, the world united in Anti-Putin Coalition, the world that can stop Moscow Nazis through actions, not words, and prevent the new evil from spreading to the entire European continent and, subsequently, to the entire world, the world capable of helping Ukraine defeat Russian Nazism, helping itself, and proving its commitment to the words “Never again!”, so that “Never again!” becomes relevant again.

Dear Ukrainians!

The residents of the village of Yahidne were held here for 27 days. On March 30, 2022, the village was liberated from the ruscist invaders. On April 19, it was demined by our military forces. This symbolizes that history is repeating itself, and everyone who came to destroy us will eventually have to flee from Ukrainian land. A part of our territory is still occupied, and some of our people are held in captivity, which means that our battle continues. And today, on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, as we commemorate the millions of Ukrainians who fought and gained victory together with other nations, we keep believing and we bring a new day of a new victory closer.

When the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine, we read about in the history textbooks, will happen in real life. And the event of the mid-twentieth century will be repeated and become part of the history of the 21st century, the history of our joint victory over Russian evil.

Greetings on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II! 

Glory to Ukraine!

whenever anybody says xyz is the new destiel putin election all i can think is that they either a) must not have actually been on tumblr that day or b) fundamentally misunderstood what made that day so wildly cathartic

#like it was not just that 'three wild things happened at once' #it was VERY SPECIFICALLY that it happened a) during the first year of the plague AND b) after DAYS of a super tense US presidential electio #people were stressed out of their minds refreshing the results pages over and over and over as they tallied votes at a snail's pace #if that hadn't been the backdrop then like #sure destiel still would've blown up on tumblr. it's tumblr #but it wouldn't be remembered the same way at all #destiel putin election doesnt just mean 'a bunch of big fandom news at once' #destiel putin election is a VERY SPECIFIC kind of absurdity thats INHERENTLY rooted in like. mass hysteria & catharsis #if you don't feel overwhelming giddy RELIEF at the events that are taking place then you are NOT experiencing destiel putin election #whatever bullshit taylor swift & watcher are on about is not REMOTELY the same thing

This is a blog for pictures of trees, so I was stunned to experience two wretched examples of horseshoe theory today.

I received two shitty comments on posts of mine. One was from a hardcore NRA fan who apparently feels he needs guns to protect himself from people who specify preferred pronouns in their bios. One was from the opposite end of the spectrum: the type that thinks making tumblr posts exhorting us all to not vote in elections is the most effective method for ending global social and economic inequality and for bringing about Marx’s utopia. Both were equally adamant in their belief that the Ukrainians are credulous, mindless pawns of the USA and who, as a nation, certainly have no innate rights as human beings and no capacity to decide what they do with their own lives and their own country.

As a person who has, since 2018, been doing my best to study the language and history of Ukraine, I would tend to side with the Ukrainians on the subject of who gets to decide what happens in Ukraine. That’s it. Full stop.

Tankies and Trumpistas, I can’t make you unfollow me. But I hope you know I think the ideologies you subscribe to have the intellectual and moral value of used toilet paper. You’re all so drunk on the self-satisfied, self-flattering delusion that only you can see through the mAsS MeDiA conspiracies that you’ve apparently long-since abandoned the capacity for basic human compassion or for the humility required to accept that you don’t actually have all the answers. It’s inane, its imbecile, it’s masturbatory, and it’s fucking appalling. I hope you can grow out of your infantile worldviews but sadly I’m not optimistic. Fuck off.

(Sorry to everyone who normally follows for nice tree photos. This isn’t a political blog: it’s a blog for nice tree photos. But I’m extremely disappointed in humanity this Friday.)

#I’ve been less surprised by the MAGA squad #but it’s been harrowing to see people from my side of the political spectrum cheer for the Russian imperialist state #just because their own countries also have imperialist bullshit #there are actual queer people out here rooting for Putin #there are actual POC rooting for Putin #ignorance can be a plea for forgiveness but it can never be an excuse #fuck damn I’m so mad #PSA

#I’ll be blunt and repeatedly blunt for anyone who cannot possibly keep track of how liberal my freaking banner looks and how often that i #have flat out said that gop and trump are russian proxies. #gop and trump are russian proxies. they will obstruct whatever ukraine needs to fight Russia. #gop and trump will always say that they’ve got the support of the military the law enforcement and national defense industries #but it’s entirely self evident and no chance to argue that they do the contrary while democrats always did the truly sound and easily #vulnerable to criticism thing. #just like this now #gop had been openly arguing that america should stop helping ukraine and yet #and somehow that sounds like gop is good for ukraine because gop is good for military #trump pulled back American troops in europe knowing russia has no intention to give back Donbas #trump was praised to have given javelin to ukraine we now see that it’s a awesome weapon but putin does not give a damn how many tanks #get destroyed #Putin’s greatest weapon is zombie armies who has no feelings for humanity and simply are orcs #taiwantalk #ukraine #russia #putin

[nyanspirals]

hm for the record i am still very much a communist and still very much support countries like the old USSR and the DPRK and i am 100% against NATO in 100% of the cases because NATO is nothing but a tool of imperialism that is always working for its own self interest no exceptions, no matter what that might mean for innocent civilians caught up in the crossfire. but like you CAN be against something while also being against what theyre against yk. idk where this idea that im a russia supporter comes from lol ive never said anything of the sorts. being willingly provoked into retaliation by NATO doesnt make russia a good guy it just makes NATO a bad guy who was working out of self interest

#neon.txt #i dont bother to make posts about my political views because its impossible to discuss with people who refuse to debate out of good faith #like no matter what i say the moment they hear 'the USSR was not evil actually' all liberals will understand is #'communism is flawless and i love putin and stalin did nothing wrong ever and there were no mistakes in the old USSR' #its just 🤷‍♂️ pointless. ive gotten facts wrong in the past thats for sure but like everytime i end up correcting myself in the end #but people never wanna bring up those cases 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ #im saying this because grape asked me to explain myself and i think its a fair request 🫶 #TLDR modern russia very bad NATO bad as well #USSR was not flawless obviously but half of what you know of it is propaganda or things extremely lacking in context #i am always willing to debate these things but i ignore and block anybody who wants to debate out of bad faith #i am a communist. and i look up to real communist experiences for guidance and inspiration. both for their flaws AND their hits. #because there is absolutely no point to being a communist or being against capitalism if you arent willing to actually Do something about it #and Doing Something means there will be mistakes eventually. as is discussing politics. as much as i wish that was the case i cant #get my facts right 100% of the time lol sorry about that but like i am ALWAYS willing to listen to people who arent being bitches about it

I have so many thoughts about this current coup, which are so numerous that I’d have to put them in a paper.

Safe to say - though this will mean civil war - when the smoke clears I fervently hope Putin’s government is gone. And that Prigozhin does not replace him

#I know too much about russian history my brain is buzzing #I… I have little hope for a better government suddenly rising out of the ashes #russia’s government has been terrible going back to the ruriks #and I think masha gessen has a point when they say russia has to break up #like… it has to go #because a lot of parts of russia (chechnya) are being kept to russia by violence #russia’s imperialist past is its present #and there needs to be a recognition of that - this is not just putin this is russia #and only recognizing that will there be any change #but I don’t have a ton of hope… russians cleave to autocrats regardless of morality or even personal interest and selfishness #it’s awful #it’s not just putin #and being an optimist I believe that can change #but it will take a lot to do so #bern speaks

[sexuallyactivepopes]

actually there ARE nazis in ukraine and anyone still denying that on account of it being “russian propaganda” is an antisemitic/anti-romani racist piece of shit and can genuinely get fucked in the most exquisitely painful way

like hundreds of soldiers will outright post videos of themselves on tiktok wearing the totenkopf and the black sun and the fucking BANDERA FLAG and “leftists” will Pretend Not To See It and i genuinely h8 all of you

#like. *stares in ukrainian half jew whose great grandfather left kiev to escape antisemitic violence* #just complete fucking ignorance of the nuance over contested territories and guzzling nato propaganda lol #and just. forgetting entierly the months of reports on nato escalations despite russian warnings. like. #they act like it ‘came out of nowhere’ but literally no war comes from nowhere #people’s homes are getting destroyed b/c nato/zelenskyy and putin are having a pissing contest and ppl think giving money to the us gov’t to #send weapons to the azov fucking battalion will fix things #meanwhile minorities in ukraine (esp romani) have been facing horrific abuse that hardly anyone has reported on

very funny that trump probably doesn't really know how to respond to kissinger's death, and his followers are waiting for him to form an opinion so they can react accordingly .

#'he's a peace dove'. he scrapped the iran deal. he loves putin. he hated the iraq war. he hates the troops. #'he would have totally pulled them out he just ran out of time.' #just give him a second to google henry and then he'll make up his mind based on the first paragraph of the wiki page

It's a bad time to be an asshole, which is to say, a good time for everyone else, especially if you're spiteful as hell like me.

since I've gotten an influx of ffxiv followers lately I just wanted to once again recommend the machineries of empire series by yoon ha lee

if depressed, nuanced, and weirdly compelling war criminals are your thing then this series is for you. everyone in the series needs a hug and a copy of the geneva convention. 10/10

#I know some people bounced off the first chapter because it drops you into the middle of chaos to sink or swim #but that evens out pretty quickly #some people also loved that #it was right up my brother's alley #his type of nerdiness #I'm just here for jedao and mikodez #every author should have their own poor little meow meow tbh #mp #the machineries of empire #sometimes your faves are just terrible people #the beauty of fiction #like no sane human is going to translate their love of emet selch to a real world imperalist #no amount of tragic purple-haired twink boyfriends is gonna make putin compelling #machineries of empire #was apparently the tag I was actually using
