It seems like the older I get, the more irrationally angry casual censorship makes me. And it isn't just the "unalive" "grape" alleged filter-dodging vernacular, but the way normal words will be peppered with asterisks, or screenshots will have words like "gay" "hell" "fuck" etc either partially or entirely blurred. Who is this helping? What is the purpose of it, except to reinforce shame and elevate a flimsy perception of purity and safety, however those things manifest. It's so tiresome and I'm sick of it.

who watches the watchmen?

The thing I noticed a lot of people from non-postsoviet countries don't understand and frankly don't care about is the importance of NOT calling the Soviet Union just Russia and soviet citizens just russians. Because it wasn't just Russia, it was a multicultural state with lots of nationalities in it and after the collapse of the USSR they all finally gained independence. It was not just russians who fought Nazis in the WW2, it was not Russia that were destroyed and exploited by them the most.

You don't call the whole European Union just Germany or France or whatever because it's not, it's a union (that also acts like a union and not like a totalitarian regime that suppresses all the national identities and forces on everyone just one specific identity that it deems to be superior).

By calling USSR Russia people enable and support russian narrative of all the countries that were a part of the Soviet Union being also a part of Russia. Which is not fucking true and is actually the driving force behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

So please be mindful of what you say.

Sights of Ankh-Morpork: the old Watch House at Treacle Mine Road.

“It could all be put back, commander. In memory of John Keel, a man who in a few short days changed the lives of many and, perhaps, saved some sanity in a mad world. Why, in a few months you could light the lamp over the door…”

My first Discworld book was the Wee Free Men. I loved it, and read it over and over again. But since that was the only one my local library had, for the longest time I thought it was a standalone. Imagine my delight when, years later, I discovered the rest of this fantastic series.

The City Watch books in particular struck a note with me, and they’ve quickly become some of my all time favorites. So of course I had to draw this to celebrate.

[nezoriy]

They did the job they didn’t have to do, and they died doing it

happy glorious 25th of may

[nezoriy]

guess what day it is

[nezoriy]

Alright, I will start with this one then - everything starts with the glorious revolution and everything starts with the night watch 🌸
