Actually no, reblog 2 electric boogaloo.
Rural Russia Story Time
Back when I was but a wee lad of 6 growing up in a rural Russian village, our graveyard was quite far from town. You'd have to hike almost a full day to get there, but people usually took the car. It was like a 30 minute journey there from the edge of the village, a solid 50 minute from where my house was.
It was in this deep pine forest. Old pine forest too, tallest trees I've ever seen. The branches only ever started like 2-3 storeys high, so it would just be these weird long poles in your vision, and you'd look up, and the mass of green needles was so thick it would cover the whole damn sky. Needless to say, spooky as shit.
Anyways the graveyard has a big fence around it, high enough where you couldn't see over it at all. It was made from just logs stuck into the ground, like what you think a wall of a mediaeval military outpost would be like. And yes, the tips were sharpened.
You'd walk in through heavy imposing gates, and it was like a studio Ghibli movie. Almost pitch black even in daytime, with only a few streaks of light, and this massive, vaguely oval space filled with gravestones. None of them were well kept, the whole place was covered in moss, and there were even 2 small mausoleums that had crumbled apart.
How is it relevant to the post? There were ticks in the area, a lot of them. You had to wear a hat, a scarf around your neck, long sleeves and pants when you went there, otherwise the ticks would be able to jump on you from the branches of the pines, bite you, and you would get infected with some absolutely awful disease I don't remember the name of.
One time when we were visiting there, my grandfather started telling me this story of how the graveyard was neglected during the Soviet Era. Maybe it was due to underfunding or there was just no-one to care for it, I don't remember.
But he, with a dead face, just went "A lot of people's names were erased from the graves, and now their spirits have no rest. There weren't always ticks in these trees."
And oh my fucking LORD did THAT stick with me.
Also, slight edit, he didn't say 'ticks' like the animal. He said 'кровососы'. Blood suckers. Just thought that warranted inclusion.

Department of government espionage
In case it wasn't clear: DOGE is working with Russia, providing a backdoor for SOMEONE in Russia to login to US systems. PBS Newshour interviewed the whistleblower and yeeeeeah it's pretty damning stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWpqJ8pD2Ng Basically the cybercriminal version of hiding a blood stain on the floor by ripping out the floor and leaving a gaping hole where floor used to be.... But leaving a great big bloodsmear from the hole in the floor all the way to a suspiciously stinky truck in the parking lot, that's owned by the known neighborhood hitman, which also happens to be piled high with blood-stained flooring.

Y'know.
When you write satire, you have to make sure it is believable. Fiction is like that, but reality has no compulsion to make sense.

seeing people (and by people I mean. not even russians) already speaking about the whole thing going on in Russia as if it were a fucking quirky joke. “Oh I’m considered an extremist in this country I don’t live in at all! Uwu!” “LOLZ I’m proud to be deemed a danger in Russia!” “PROUD ASSIGNED LGBT EXTREMIST BY RUSSIAN LAW” You know this shit is very likely going to get people killed right. Like. You know that, right. People are very likely going to die because of this law. And you know you’re not helping in the fucking slightest right

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
please hear us.

The guys in the White House talk all day about how soft the Europeans are. But when there is an actual war in the actual world, the Trump people immediately submit to what they think is the stronger side and complain that everyone else doesn’t do the same.
