Putin is not the cause of russian brutality, terrorism and bloodthirstiness. Putin is a consequence.

before Putin, there were other presidents, other tsars and other authorities in russia. only one thing has not changed — russian imperialism and chauvinism.

don't be silent and please continue to support Ukraine! don't let your politicians betray Ukraine, Ukraine needs help to defeat russia!

Was a city

The same place in 2021:

A message to everyone who is against Trump in the U.S,; don't give up.

I understand that statement may seem cliche and useless to many people. But everyone needs to understand the significance it holds.

I am heartbroken about the election results in the United States. But I will not stress how important it is to stay strong, and not give up on our democracy. I won't tell you it's not terrifying.

But we can't stop fighting for the rights of ourselves and others. No matter how hopeless it may seem at the moment, we must work together to maintain democracy in America.

If you feel like it's not worth it to keep trying, think of the genocide against the Palestinians, which will only reach new extremes under Trump's presidency (he has said he wants Netanyahu to be even more aggressive and tough on Palestine than he already is being—sit with that for a moment.) the transgender people who won't receive the affirming care they deserve, the people of color who now have nearly no protections against racism and police brutality, the children who won't have access to the education they need, who won't be protected against rapists and gun violence, the people who will not be able to get abortions no matter how dire their situations are, the legal and illegal immigrants who will be deported, the Ukrainians who will now longer have protection from America against the Russian invasion in their country. And there is so much more, so much more that we won't even see coming.

However, we can still do things to make a difference. Go to protests, educate yourself and others, donate to Palestinians/charities that help Palestinians and other people in need, volunteer at organizations that help women travel to different states to have legal safe abortions, flood your congressmen, representatives, mayors, governors, anyone in our government, with letters and complaints.

Use your voice! Remember, you have free speech no matter how much you are made to feel like you don't.

Now is not the time to worry about hurting anyone's feelings or being annoying. Be a bother. Force everyone who is using their power to ignore you and your rights to notice you.

Don't be scared to aggressive as you fight against the fascism that threatens our country. We cannot and will not allow this nation to slip further into hate, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti immigrant ideology any more than it already has.

We cannot afford to be selfish or weak. Even if your state has voted to add protections for women and trans people in their state constitutions, doesn't mean you're safe. Do you think Trump won't do everything he can do outlaw these rights everywhere eventually? Fight and keep fighting. For everyone.

This may seem dramatic to some. I've heard the argument "Trump won't follow through. He's not being serious. He won't actually try to become a dictator", several times. Wake up! He has presented these intentions time and time again. Take his words at face value. He will strip people of their rights, especially if we actively chose to ignore his clearly communicated intentions. Do not think he won't do everything in his power to pass Project 2025 and other hateful, controlling, unconstitutional policies.

Believe it. But also believe in hope. It's easy to feel alone during this time. Remember, however, that there are millions of people behind you, and we can keep it that way if we remind ourselves and each other that we are fighting together and we will not give in.

No matter what, do not give up on our country and every single citizen that still needs our protection and support.

My first awareness post yippee (also enjoy my silly lil drawing of Derpy)

This is about a neurotypical phenomenon called inspiration porn (no, it's not actual porn). Inspiration porn is when neurotypical people romanticize disabled people in a piece of media. I have seen this in the movie The Unbreakable Boy (watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on that movie on YouTube). They basically treat being autistic as this miracle and a blessing. From my experience as an undiagnosed autistic person, autism sucks to have for me. Inspiration porn isn't just targeted at autistic people though. It's targeted at people with all kinds of disabilities, physical and mental (for example, those people that romanticize BPD, depression, etc). About The Unbreakable Boy, they make it seem like having autism equals enjoying life 24/7 and all that jazz. The actual person that this movie/memoir is based on was at the premier. He was constantly cut off while he was speaking and wasn't physically handed the microphone (they just held it out for him to speak into, and maybe he didn't want to hold the microphone and that's perfectly fine). He even said his life was almost nothing like the movie/memoir. The actor that played him doesn't even get enough screentime and this movie isn't even about him. Both the movie and the memoir are about his dad. If you want to learn more about The Unbreakable Boy and why it's problematic, please watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on it. They explain it really well.

And since this is an awareness post, let's talk about the countries and groups of people that are experiencing genocide and ethnic cleansing (trigger warning)

PALESTINE 🍉: Palestine is the #1 country in the world with the most child amputees. Israel is getting even more savage on Ramadan.

SUDAN 🇸🇩: Women and children in Sudan are getting brutally raped every single day by the RSF. Women are too frightened to go outside because of that.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 🇨🇩: Literal babies in The Congo are mining coltan, a material used in most technology. Babies in The Congo are also being sold in bags.

UKRAINE 🇺🇦: The US cut off humanitarian aid for Ukraine because of Tronald Dump. They are still being bombed by Russia.

LEBANON, SYRIA, AND YEMEN 🇱🇧🇸🇾🇾🇪: Israel is also bombing these countries.

AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫: Girls' education in Afghanistan is ended when they're 11. Women can't even be seen in windows because of the Taliban.

UYGHUR MUSLIMS 🫐: The Uyghur Muslims in China are being detained in concentration camps. Their culture is slowly being erased by China.

IRAN 🇮🇷: The Iranian government reduced the age of consent from 16 to 9.

DEPORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS IN THE US 🇺🇸: Tronald Dump is even deporting legal immigrants to "help clean up America". They are also building concentration camps for those immigrants.
