#MeanwhileInRussia, Saint-Petersburg: Police come to anime cosplay event, arrest about 20 teenagers.

They were detained for several hours on grounds of LGBT propaganda and some of the parents weren't allowed to their kids "because of pandemic restrictions".

Earlier this January #Russia banned certain #anime titles.

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

Hey, if you're one of the ppl saying cryptoart will *finally* let you "support indie artists" - most of us already have a Ko-fi tipjar/patreon/comissions/various stores linked in our bios or pinned messages. If you haven't done that yet you weren't even trying.

:yay: Request :yay:

I've started my Master, my research question so far surrounds the idea of what electronic platforms add to the portrayal of queer bodies as others, often intermingling with beastly and monstrosity metaphors (often very positively)

I want to find queer creators of electronic art with a focus on body or emotional experiences. Twine hypertext, games, bots, poetry online, even twitter feeds or instagram.

If you wanna talk then DM or email ceciliewriteswords@gmail.com

I don't want you to put "BLM" in your display name. I don't want you to put "Black Lives Matter ✊🏾" in your bio.

I want you to unfollow the friend who posts racist jokes.

I want you to confront your parents when they make racist comments.

I want you to stop ignoring the racist coworker b/c they're old.

I want you to donate your time/resources/expertise to local groups making a direct impact on their communities.

I want you actually SHOW black lives that they matter while they're alive.

eyecontact, and lots of speaky words 

Here, have a video about the PinePhone Plasma Convergence edition what i put together, in which i take it out of the box and play with it a bit and have opinions! :)

So a few days ago I said I wanted to talk a bit more about the worldview behind that little book of 1980s lesbian feminist cartoons I have. Because it’s the kind of feminism I remember from when I was a student, and it’s the kind of feminism so many TERFs and their allies in the U.K. started with.

I’ll start with some scans...

if you're white and you use the internet, you have a duty to ensure that the spaces you are in are not a safe space for white supremacists. no, "oh but I like this person and they've never done anything in MY group" -- listen to us. listen to what we have to say. report people to the mods or if it's an ongoing problem, *leave the fucking group and let people know why you're leaving*.

make mods explain their decisions. make it uncomfortable. make it weird.

it's the LEAST you can do.

*Turns slowly and looks at the camera towards every person who said trump was 'Harmless' and asked 'What we have to lose' by electing that racist*
