alright jesus christ, I'm making another "if shit goes down" post:

If something kicks off in *ran, which I cannot stress enough IS CURRENTLY AT PEACE (the rest of my family is taking their afternoon siesta as I write this and I've got my shower stuff set out for later; things are quiet af except for the birds and the occasional bad driver revving an engine), they will cut off the internet inside *ran before they do anything else. They want to control the narrative and make sure we don't get out our pleas for help/information on what'll be happening here.

I've already seen a post on here where people are cheering for "*ran" because they helped H*zbollah hit an *sraeli target... guys, that's not *ran. That's the I R G C, an extremist terrorist organisation that controls *ran's resources (incidentally, just like H*zbollah controls L*banon!). The *ranian people are being held hostage as a nation by the *RGC. We aren't them and they most certainly are not *ranians. Don't get it twisted. The *RGC is trying to kick off a direct war after a long while of fighting their proxy wars through Palestine and S*ria... and I don't know why the fuck it's happening now.

I'm in the middle of a programming course and I'm scrambling to do my homework for the next two weeks before the internet goes. I'm going to pack survival backpacks for my family tonight; water, money, id, antiseptic cream... and you know what's driving me up the fucking wall about all this? It's that all this is happening after vacuuming the whole fucking house for *ranian New Years, tidying all the fronds on the rugs with a comb until they all ran parallel, scrubbing hard water stains off the taps and the house plant leaves until they gleamed, making up a whole new blossom-print duvet-pillowcase set for the beds, buying pretty Soviet-print antique enamelware and ceramic water jugs for extra-cool water this summer...

I don't want to flee my own fucking house, so painstakingly cleaned and pretty and so recently full of guests for the New Year, to go where? Turkey? Armenia? And what the fuck for? Because the donkey testicles who've taken charge here don't care if we live or die?

Post from: Sat 13 April 2024

Note: I censor *ran and other nouns that are in the news rn because I'm at risk of being found here through keyword searches, account tracing, etc. They might still find me this way, but I don't want to make it that easy. If you see anyone openly heehawing about the *RGC or H*zbollah in my replies/reblogs, they've found this post despite my efforts.

If you interact with the post, however, PLEASE use the uncensored nouns in your tags/replies.

After President Vladimir Putin announced this week that Russia was conscripting some 300,000 reservists and military veterans to reinforce its war effort in Ukraine, international flights out of Russian cities quickly sold out. This latest wave of Russia’s exodus included Anton Shalaev, a 38-year-old senior manager at an IT company, and 15 colleagues.

On less than a day’s notice, these men of military age all left their relatively comfortable lives in downtown Moscow to fly to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. Because of Putin’s war, Shalaev tossed a book, an iPad, and a laptop in a backpack and got out of Dodge.

Shalaev and his co-workers are true tech geeks, producers of high-value computer games. They represent their country’s brightest and best, members of a tech elite that was the economic foundation of Russia’s new middle class. In a last selfie from Moscow, Shalaev brandished a coffee mug that bore the slogan, not today, satan.

Anna Nemtsova: Why didn’t you want to be drafted to fight in Ukraine?

Anton Shalaev: On the day Putin declared the war, I knew I would never fight on behalf of this new Nazi Reich. They are my personal enemies: mercenaries who steal my country from me, occupy foreign territories, and kill innocent people. Putin’s army commanders have had plenty of time to turn down their contracts; instead, they are recruiting more cannon fodder now.

So I chose to help Ukrainians suffering from this horror—pay for shelters in Kyiv with cryptocurrency and write antiwar posts on social media. To encourage Russians at home, I said: “Guys, look, I am writing this from Moscow.”

Nemtsova: What was your escape like?

Shalaev: Unlike state-owned companies such as Yandex or the Mail.ru Group, which are making their employees stay, we were independent of government funding, so we made an immediate decision to relocate.

The atmosphere at passport control in the airport was quiet but tense; men waiting for the flight around me were exchanging alerted glances. I had bought my ticket right before the announcement—we were already hearing rumors of the mobilization—so it cost me only about $300. But my colleagues got their tickets the next day, and they cost more than $1,000.

The departure was super stressful. The border guards took each of my friends aside into a small room, interrogated them, asked if they had ever served in the military, and if not, why not. And you know that type of sly border official making their little jokes: “Aha, you are leaving on the day of conscription.” Of course, they checked whether our names were in the database for the mobilization.

Nemtsova: Did you do military service, in fact, when you turned 18?

Shalaev: No, I entered the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, which had a military department, so that released me from the service obligation. I studied political science, and dreamed of becoming a Russian diplomat—Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was a graduate there. For a long time, I considered myself a Russian patriot, ready to serve.

When I enrolled in college, in 2001, there was some ideological diversity: We had a neo-Stalinist who taught us about how “Josef” ruled with an iron fist, but the next class would be with a professor telling us about liberal values. Today, the school recruits students for the secret services. And lately, I heard that the dean has urged students to call for Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to surrender.

Nemtsova: What do you think of the Kremlin’s decision making?

Shalaev: A few old men and an army of zombies are leading us to hell. I say that because people around me in Russia behaved as if they had been bitten by a zombie, dragging my entire country into a dreadful war. All I saw was Russian loser husbands beating their wives, while the entire rotting house of the state system has turned my people into an army of the dead.

They are my enemies.

Nemtsova: What do you know of the situation in Ukraine?

Shalaev: I constantly follow the war news in Ukraine—and I seek out the best, most objective analysts. My main sources on the atrocities are Ukrainian refugees from cities bombed by Russian forces.

I realize that I would rather go to prison than go to fight against the Ukrainian army. I openly embrace my antiwar position. I urge my social-media followers to donate to Ukrainians. This entire war is a crime against humanity.

Everything You Need to Know About Choosing Turkey Travel Packages

In the regional Turkish language, Turkey is often referred to as Türkiye. It is primarily found in Western Asia, in the Anatolian peninsula. Since one leg is connected to Europe and the other to Asia, it is also referred to as a bridge between the two continents. The Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea border the nation on three sides. It is the homeland of Turks who long ago migrated from Mongolia's interior. Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, and Syria are all within modern Turkey's borders.

When it comes to the area, the Turkish race initially settled in western modern Turkey, where they went on to reside under the name Selcuk Beylics. The Osmanoullar community was established in the region where Bursa was the capital, some 4-5 hours' drive from Istanbul today, as a result of the separation of Selçuk Beylics into several groups over time. They transferred the capital from Bursa to Istanbul in later years. They lived through the golden eras when their borders stretched across tremendous periods. They eventually reached a point of stagnation and dissolution and handed the historical reins over to the Modern Turkish Republic.

Understanding Your Travel Style and Preferences

Understanding your travel tastes and style is the first step in selecting Turkey Holiday Packages. Think about the following:

Who are you as a traveller? Are you a daring backpacker or a pampered traveller seeking a more relaxing experience?

What do you find interesting? Do you favour outdoor pursuits like hiking and environmental exploration or are you more interested in history and culture?

What is your spending plan? What are your financial limits for a tour package?

What kind of transportation do you prefer? Would you like to take the bus, the train, or the aeroplane?

What kind of lodging do you prefer? Do you feel at ease staying in hostels or hotels, or do you like private lodging?

You can focus on tour packages that are suited to your needs by focusing on those that fit your travel interests and style.

Researching and Comparing Tour Options

Researching and contrasting tour choices is the next stage after you have a firm grasp of your travel interests and style. Here are a few pieces of advice:

Make use of reliable travel websites: Check out Turkey Holiday Packages from credible online sources as they offer testimonials and rankings from tourists who have taken the tours.

Visit the websites of the trip operators: The majority of tour operators have their websites where you may obtain details about the tours they provide, including itineraries, costs, and lodging choices.

Read Reviews: You may learn a lot about the tour's quality, the degree of customer care, and the entire experience from reviews written by other tourists.

Compare costs before choosing one product over another. Take into account the tour's overall worth and what is included in the cost. Some Turkey Travel Packages From India may appear more expensive, but they provide greater value for the money since they provide more activities or better accommodations.

Key Considerations for Choosing a Turkey Tour Package

There are numerous important factors to keep in mind when contrasting Turkey Travel Packages From India.

1. Itinerary: Finding a tour package that includes the locations and activities you are interested in is a good idea. Take into account the tour's duration and speed. Will you feel rushed or that you'll have plenty of time to visit each place?

2. Inclusions: Make sure you are aware of the tour package's inclusions. Does it include lodging, travel, meals, and entertainment? Do you need to budget for any additional fees or expenses?

3. Tour size: The magnitude of the excursion should be taken into consideration. Which do you prefer—a smaller, more private one or a bigger, more communal one?

4. Tour guide: Your trip can be greatly improved by a skilled and amiable tour guide. Make sure you check the tour guide's licence and read customer feedback.

Finding Turkey Travel Packages From India that allow you flexibility in terms of the schedule and activities is important. You will then have the option to go exploring on your own or to forego participating in activities that bore you.

Is it harder for women to write about themselves than it is for men? Tennessee Williams had no issue in composing essays about his own reflections on his work and the people that dropped by in his life; and yet I wonder if women write with that same volubility about themselves without focusing on a certain exterior message.

Even now, I write about women’s position to men and not about myself. How can I write about my positionality and exclude that from how that’s influenced by my gender? Even in writing essays, and in writing about yourself, there’s a lot we don’t say. Dostoevsky said, the more a person feels they cannot reveal to themselves, the better a person they are. You will learn more details about a person on their Wikipedia page than you will by reading their personal essays, but more details do not mean more truth. The latter gives you what Wikipedia does not, and that’s a built relationship with someone you’ve never met.

Recently, I stumbled upon some reminiscences from my childhood; something that is typically accepted as calming or comforting. I’m both drawn to that which reminds me of my childhood, albeit music or photos, maybe movies, but a part of me feels a lack that is only acknowledged when in the presence of something nostalgic. Schopenhauer said, the sadness we feel when recollecting is due to the expectations we had of the future when we were younger. We’re dissatisfied with how the future (our present) turned out.

The house I owe much of my development to was a red brick rowhouse stacked next to one another in the matchbox that is Queens with all Armenian-immigrant neighbors. Us included. My bedroom upstairs was the tiniest room in the house, some could call it a converted attic but looking back, the unfortunate sizing was good to humble my already bratty personality which I attribute to my problem with authority, then and now.

It was in this tiny magenta-carpeted room that I would fling my backpack off, and take 45 minutes to several hours at times dancing and singing by myself while changing out of my school uniform. I distinctly remember judging my day as being good or bad based on how much fun I had.

Mrs. Seta and her husband Mr. Hakop were a charming warm elderly couple that lived next door to us. Like all rowhomes in urban cities, our front porches were split by a thin white railing fence with little flowers in the centers. My grandma and Mrs. Seta would have mid-day coffee every day when the weather permitted, leaning their arms on the railing, watching passersby walking their dogs or commuting home from work. When my grandfather would come home from work, my grandma would make him food, and he would retire to the porch and meet with Mr. Hakop for some chitchat.

Both of my grandparents had shakey English, yet it never stopped either of them from socializing with people in the neighborhood no matter where we lived. We moved quite frequently, first from place to place within urban areas in New York, and then to the confines of south Florida--from which I don’t think I ever recovered.

The perks of knowing multiple languages as a result of living in a Soviet Republic, and by having to move around for work in a developing country like Armenia with low employment, gave my grandparents the people-skills I wish I had. I, as a person who was born and raised in this country, would still consider the people in my neighborhood to be strangers and would have no inclination towards sparking a conversation with them, but my grandparents saw no reason to not invite people inside for coffee. Years later, I was at a party at my neighbor’s home in south Florida and my grandma conveyed in her fragmented English that “in my country, neighbor is family.”

The loss of my neighbors was as hollowing as the loss of my childhood with my parents’ decision to move away from New York. Is it painful to look into the past? Some undoubtedly get lost in their recollections of the past, and to some extent, the past is never truly as we remembered it to be, but I do miss the people that shaped my past. Do I exist for them the way they exist for me? How’s that for writing about yourself?

Went to see the old Armenian city Ani. Now situated in the province of Kars, Turkey. It was added to UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. From the sight we could see to Armenia. I toured the sight with a british/turkish couple, a turkish student and a german backpacker.

I digitally met Richard Delong over 10 years ago. We bonded over wilderness backpacking and Eastern Europe. Today, we finally met face to face in the Caucasus! Now we have one more thing in common: Bitcoin I love how tech helps meet people and maintains bonds. I'm leaving Georgia now and returning to Armenia. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/JhADBnQ

In Armenia you don't even have to stick your thumb out and a car will stop. They can't always take you. Sometimes they just want to say hello, or they want to see that you're OK. We had no idea Armenian people would be so incredibly friendly. In this episode we hitchhike the long way from the capital Yerevan to the little cave town of Khndzoresk. Even though it was easy to get picked up it was a long and rough day as the heatwave in the Caucasus had really kicked in. Imagine 40 degrees Celcius or more standing in the sun on asphalt. It actually felt more like 50+ degrees Celcius. We reached the desert, near the border with Azerbaijan where got picked up by Artur who made our journey to the cave town of Khndzoresk very special. In Khndzoresk we camp with beautiful views of the cave town and the next day we explore this mini Cappadocia and start to replan our journey.

Armenian Landscapes Seen From The Road: A Journey In Pictures

Armenian Landscapes Seen From The Road: A Journey In Pictures

This is my final post from Armenia. It was really a fantastic journey. Look at all those divers landscapes! I can really recommend this country for people who love to go somewhere, where there is no touristic infrastructure in every corner. I would have liked to speak Russian to talk to people more, they all have been or seemed to be very friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t rely on public…

My Armenia Bucket List

My Armenia Bucket List

Day 1 in Yerevan, Armenia (9/28/21): -Tipping around 10% is expected here, mainly in the capital. If you don’t like it, simply don’t visit.-First Impressions: Armenian people are kind as heck.-Armenia is dirt cheap. I ate out, had around ten drinks, and tipped 20% – spent $26 USD.-People here, primarily women, are super fashionable.-The currency is nuts. 50,000 Armenian drum is just over $100…

run - nomad steve rogers x reader

word count: 921

content warning: faked death

Steve was fascinated by your intelligence the moment you joined the team after S.H.I.E.L.D. was dismantled. It didn’t take long for your friendship to blossom into a relationship. You both made up a secret alphabet to communicate in your own language, with him being able to remember it and hell, after a few months of leaving cute notes for each other, you had memorized it too. It was nearly a year into your relationship when the issues with the Sokovia Accords arose. As you stayed back in New York as if you weren’t a superhero, you were devastated by the news replaying the events in Germany. After weeks of being questioned, the CIA made the same conclusion that you did, Steve had abandoned you the same as he abandoned his title.

Three months later, you received a small box at your door with no return address.

It was a double sided locket. One side had a picture of you and Steve from when you first got together, the other side held a note in your secret language. Upon decoding it read,

16. I’ll wait for you, darling. 17°42'25.8"S 63°10'27.9"W

It took about two weeks to coordinate your big plan but you made it to the coordinates in Bolivia as fast as you could. You requested room sixteen which they reluctantly gave to you after you paid extra. You looked all over the hotel room trying to find something he would’ve left you. The bathroom, the nightstands, the tile, the carpet, the tv guide, underneath chairs, anything but still nothing. Finally resting back on the bed your eyes made contact with the blue painting across from you.

“He wouldn’t.”

You muttered to yourself before getting up and taking the photo off the frame. Delicately peeling off the back you saw a message hinting about a numbers station. Getting out your radio and some granola bars out of your backpack you began to search for it. You weren’t sure when exactly you had fallen asleep but by the looks of it it was halfway through the decoding process.

It took another few days trying to translate the message to figure out he had run it through a cypher. With a sigh you went back to the picture frame to study the message again.

I like to think that our song plays constantly on the radio in 4/4 time.

He must have set the alphabet off by either 8 or 16. You just had to find out which. You ventured out into the city to get some actual food and a few cups of coffee before going back to work.

South America was the first place the group went to after leaving Bucky in Wakanda. They didn’t get to remain long, but they were there long enough for him to set up a signal and a trail for you to follow. When they finally made it to Alesund to Natasha’s dismay he decided to stay instead of going with them to help Yelena in Armenia. This was the start of his fourth month alone in Norway. He held a job as a lumberjack and his beard definitely sold the part. He was almost worried that if you ever did make it to him you wouldn’t like his new look. It was Friday night and he was out for his late night walk, stopping by the church. Walking to the back side of the church he was ready to sit on the hill and continue to read when he noticed some scratches on the siding. He sighed. He couldn’t believe that you would actually deface a church building just to leave a code for him. Looking down, Steve noticed a green button settled perfectly into the dirt. With a small smile, he bent down and unearthed it, seeing a vial underneath it. Picking up the vial he noticed a piece of paper inside. After quickly unscrewing the cap and tapping the paper out he unrolled it.

I’m not sure if you’re even still here, but if you are…Scandic Parken. Room SK283...

“How long have you been here?” He asked, still cupping your face in his hands.

“Five days.”

“What if someone followed you? Have you been-”

You sighed, “No one is going to be looking for me.”

“How do you know that?”

“I faked my own death… I waited until I left Bolivia to have the person I paid set it all up. I was worried if I did it too soon you would read about it and stop waiting for me.”

“I would’ve waited my entire life. Nat already was upset that I didn’t go with her and Sam, but I needed to wait for you.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” He said with a small smile before kissing you once again.

When you woke up in the morning to his beard tickling your neck and back, he groggily pulled you back to him. “What’s so funny?”

“I’m not used to the beard yet, it tickles.”

“I’m sorry, baby.”

“Don’t be.” You told him before reaching your hand up and behind you to play with his grown out hair, “Where to now?”

He let out a happy hum as your fingertips lightly stroked his scalp, “Uhm, I have a cabin about five kilometers out of town. After that I can get in touch with Sam. He’s been camping out in Brunei. I just want to enjoy this moment a little bit longer.”

Night train to Armenia! Sadly only second class tickets available, which means sharing a cabin with another couple. We got lucky and ended up sharing with a Japanese couple who were very quiet and considerate. In the end I think I actually managed to get some sleep despite border control waking us up at 1am. It was probably the best sleep I’ve ever had on a night train. Waking up to see the sun rise over Mount Ararat was worth it though. . . . . . #overnighttrain #armenia #georgia #southcaucasus #secondclass #backpacking #idontholidayitravel #4berthsleeper (at Tbilisi railway station) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DLPzojh0k/?igshid=16j7dp8odvely
