Re-design of SABOH! 💚🎨

He has a chin-attachment as well for his Powerchair which allows him to move around with chin movement, if his arm is “not working”, or is particularly weak.

GUYS. simon petrikov is central asian and here’s why.

-petrikov is a RUSSIAN last name. a lot of central asia used to belong to the soviet union and their cultures began to combine because of it, resulting in a lot of central asians having russian last names.

-that man clearly does NOT look slavic

-he’s very clearly not white!! he has an olive tone which is VERY common in central asians!

-i’m central asian and i say so

Central Asian migrants in Russia are experiencing a new wave of discrimination. But this is much more serious than you think.

For many decades, Turkic people and other ethnic nationalities of Central Asia have been persecuted from society both in the migrating countries and in their own homelands. Every year and a half in Russia there is another wave of hatred towards us, backed up by absurd laws and inaction. We, Central Asians, are the least protected in the whole society and are now under even greater threat with the impending laws.

I don't even know what I can do to help. My relatives, the relatives of my friends, return home with disgusting experiences. Some are illegally sued for nothing.

Some just do not come back. And after a couple of months, it may turn out that they are missing or died in foreign war.

This is another reality that is being kept silent. And if earlier we could contribute to doing something to bring a loved one home, now the central asians are in serious danger. By adopting the above-mentioned law, there will be no more chance for security. We become cannon fodder for the benefit of a foreign country.

This is not just a law for which you will be given a miserable fine. This is not just one of the many restrictions that supposedly should not cause us any inconvenience. It's about how many people will suddenly start disappearing, how many fathers, husbands and brothers will not come home.

"Bridal costume from Muğla. Urban, 1925-1950. With goldwork embroidered silk ‘üçetek’ (robe with three panels) and önlük/peşkir (apron; ‘two-sided’ silk embroidery on linen). The round mirror on the hat is an amulet against the ‘evil eye’. Except for that monumental hat, this costume was also worn as a general festive dress."

When you’re a rogue, but also very Central Asian.

I plan on including a separate page for his quiver, but also another section with his Halamshiral outfit.
