polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:

ua.gov.pl

as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.

Polish person here, I’ve been on the website, it looks legit! Adding the full link here:

Ukraina - Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców - Portal Gov.pl

Information is available in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and English

Please get the help available!

Other people, please boost this!!!!

Gov.pl is a legit website connected to the polish government i use it to look at tax info and school stuff (it has the lessons for the teachers written out) and driving license info. So this is legit!!!

Ukrainian friends, you can also cross the border to Slovakia, with or without a passport, or at least that’s the latest update from our Ministry of Interior. You must prepare yourselves for waiting in lines as they check every individual vehicle upon entering (waiting times according to our news are hours long because of shitty capacities but hopefully after today the officials will figure out a more effective system). If anybody has a link too, I’d be grateful as I haven’t found anything useful prior to adding to the post. I hope you all stay safe.

Romania is also willing to accept up to 500,000 refugees from Ukraine. Be prepared for long waiting times at the Siret border crossing.

If you can reach Germany, they are willing to accept refugees as well. Our minister of the interior, Nancy Fraeser, said that all Ukranians with a biometric passport can come to Germany even without a visa and stay there for 90 days.

Hi Tumblr

Just wanted to say that the president of Poland Andrzej Duda just signed smthg called “Karta Rodziny”, which basically states that the only true family and marriage is that of heterosexual people, further doubling down on refusing marriage equality and adoption. It will “save children from alien and harmful LGBT ideology” by baning public institutions of mentioning the “LGBT ideology”.

The things happening over in america are horrendous, but also making way for changes for the better. They’re making the whole world have a discussion about racism still woven into our societies.

But please. It’s pride month. My country, my people need this to be on the lips of the world.

Spread the news

[tunneldweller]

the current government of Poland is very fond of the expression “LGBT ideology”, which sets up queer people as a bogeyman to scare up support for far-right parties. Duda is up for reelection this year and he’s clearly following the playbook to the letter. the insidious thing about Karta Rodziny is that it contains some positive ideas, like state protections for single parents and higher penalties for domestic violence… as well as “a ban on promoting LGBT ideology by public institutions”[1]. so if you protest Karta Rodziny, the gov’t and state-controlled media will absolutely claim you ~just want single parents to die~ and ~love domestic abusers~.

[1]: no queer-inclusive sex education at schools, for one. there’s been a push for better sex ed and a counter-push by far-right, anti-choice groups for NO sex ed.

it was signed June 10, 2020. this isn’t news from the 1990s.

Contrary to popular belief, talking to Finns is not the trickiest thing about learning Finnish.

It's that the Finns answer.

My favourite word in finnish: töpseli ❤️🔌

I feel the sudden need to buy and raise a little pig, just to name it Töpseli.

That's a valid reason, isn't it?

[just-finnish-learning-things]

hey, as i figures youre another german learning finnish? welp, me too. a friend got me to it and now im in love with it, but i really dont know how to start, like, at all how did you?

Welp, indeed.

I wish I could tell you about my organised notes and study tips, but they don’t exist. I started by learning phrases like ‘good morning’, ‘please’, 'excuse me’, yada yada yada. I used them to teach myself how to pronounce each letter by itself and in words (in front of the mirror, great fun, would recommend).

For grammar and vocabulary, I concentrated on the courses memrise offers, as well as various websites. I always try to combine them, in order to learn the words in their grammatical context.

Since your a German speaker, I recommend the series Yksi, Kaksi, Kolme and the grammar and exercise books by Pons. They can be quite expensive, so you could look for them in your local library.

I hope this helps a little, even though I doubt it does. Feel free to message me whenever!

((Organised studying is the key, don’t try and copy my chaos approach.))

What helps me (and I do that with every language I try learning) is going on youtube and find disney songs in whatever language I want to learn, if possible with subtitles in that language and then find a dictionary and make myself a vocabulary for that specific song, so I’ll get the rythm and the pronounciation down. It might not include the most useful words, but it helps with learning and understanding the language.

As for books, I really like the one from Lextra (not a big Pons fan, but that’s always diffrent from person to person).
