This is the largest update I've ever written, and almost twice the size of the next largest update. Enjoy.
Links and Stuff
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Yesterday's discussion post.
made a post on reddit for the first time in a bit about how in my view a majority of men are extremely creepy and predatory and every neckbeard and his granddad came out of the woodwork to say i was a fake account or some shit lmao
like for real maybe like 5-10% of the men i have interacted with in my life are actual decent people, and it isnt like i havent interacted with male culture a lot because i def have as a trans woman
(Wrong thread but) yeah...I probably wouldn't have so much anxiety around public spaces if I only had to interact with that 5%.
fr though. and most of those 5-10% are socialist anyways. or just clueless guys wandering around through life who are too clueless to do sexism, which is a vibe
The wholesome himbos
Highly doubt 5% of people are socialist.

:sicko-wistful:
nah i think its true based on stats.
legit just had a random fuckin dude call me baby girl at the grocery store alone omfl
constant validation that hating men is the way to go
One of the few times I've been outside alone, I've gotten "hey...you're not like other girls, are you. :free-real-estate: " And my brain was just like TIMETOBEANYWHEREBUTHEREPLZTHX.
i sometimes just wanna become a swarm queen and kill people with bees when they irritate me
Don't let your dreams be dreams.
Real fedora hours
Lol, can't decide if that would've been better or worse, immediately after that he tried showing off how buff he got in prison. Dude had arms almost as big as my torso.
Yeah I get that shit any time I have to walk around outside and often in the store too. My policy at this point is to not acknowledge men in public unless absolutely necessary. It's just not worth it
