Русский - мой второй язык (я сейчас изучаю, до сих пор не говорю очень хорошо). Я живу в Канаде, но я сейчас в России в поездке.

I’m in Russia currently (though granted I’m in Kazan right now and not Moscow) and I have to say uh… It was barely a blip in Russian news tbh. It really doesn’t seem to have been a big deal over here, at least as far as I can tell. Certainly nobody seems too worried.

I have run away to Russia to avoid the world cup. (I mean not really it’s a complete coincidence but I find it kinda funny that my summer trip lined up with when the world cup is happening back home).

I’m in Moscow. It’s very hot here today. Victory park is a pretty cool place.

I’m going to China tomorrow, which is pretty cool. (I’m also going to be in Russia for a while after that).

I want to allow the highest turnout, therefore I will uninvite three countries.

Japan has been doing Genocide denial longer than Israel has existed, so they do have lots of experience.

I always love seeing .su in a URL

This is great timing, my mom keeps trying to use his videos as evidence whenever I mention liking the DPRK.

It doesn’t matter how perfectly you play the part of US stooge, if you sell soy beans to China you’re out. Apparently.

Russia will collapse tommorow and then China will collapse on Tuesday. Following this, China and Russia will take over the world on Wednesday, however due to their failing economies they will immidiately collapse a second time afterwords.

So… speaking as someone who is trans myself, I think the part of this that makes it difficult to make that last assertaion is… how do we know that there is an innate sense of gender (in the self) that is separate from the social construction of gender? I have a very strong sense of what my gender is but… how do I know that didn’t develop it at least partially from my interactions with the society I live in? I don’t know where my “sense of gender” came from, and I don’t know if it’s innate or learned. Either way it’s a very real experience.

Yeah, honestly I agree. I mean I kinda get it, but it’s a huge amount of posting for a (relatively) minor event. I logged in today mostly to see if anyone was talking about Poland and I was met with a barrage of posts about a guy in the US getting shot. I dunno, I’m not convinced he deserves the fanfare.

“Inspired by Ukraine’s scrappy resistance to Russia’s invasion in the early years of the war, veterans from America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan turned up to fight alongside Ukrainians.” Hm. Interesting.

I love how every article somehow similatinously mentions how “fast evolving” or “advanced” Ukriane’s drones are and then immidiately continues to say they are achieving basically nothing with them.

In a functioning post-capitslist society, people should be expected to work if they are reasonably able. (I’m not sure if this is really even right wing but I know a lot of people who would say that it is).
