Alfred Schnittke - Story of an unknown actor, op. 125

Just to be clear:

My advocacy for the preservation of minority languages has nothing to do with the fact that they are interesting/fascinating/any other adjective of that nature

Minority languages deserve protection because they are important, and they are valuable

The worth of a minority language is not determined by the entertainment it can provide to outsiders

While I believe that all languages are beautiful and unique, it shouldn't matter that a language is ugly, or boring or "useless"

Yes, Celtic folk music is beautiful, but that is not the reason for preserving Celtic languages

hey so uh

Since the referendum in Russia has approved of Putin’s changes to Constituition, letting him stay in power until 2035, redefining marriage as “union of man and woman” and the government literally having talks about banning rainbow and comparing rainbow flags to nazi symbolism, it’s not been great for the LGBT+ community here.

In addition to that, we had the awful “Gay Propaganda” law since 2013 and the number of hate crimes towards LGBT+ Russians has increased greatly since then, and it’s likely to increase even more now.

So maybe consider donating to Russian LGBT Network to help us Russian gays out?

you should always be careful when you fall back asleep again after waking up because sometimes you will just have a pleasant little snooze but sometimes you'll get trapped in TIME PRISON. unfortunately there is no way to predict this.

Taras Shevchenko looks at you like... like as best as he can

[Image ID: An old format black box meme, featuring a photo of an embroidery portraying Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko. Something is wrong with that embroidery. The eyes of a legendary poet: two burning white circles, staring at you from the black void of the sockets. Eyebrows: there are no eyebrows. His mouth is open in a silent scream, but there's only emptiness behind his lips. The embroidery's haunted. Probably, by the spirit of Taras Shevchenko himself. And he has a hangover. The text at the bottom reads: "Taras Shevchenko looks at you like... like as best as he can." /End ID]
