A Warm Fart Mistaken For A Summer Breeze

Sometimes I do art, mostly I rant | from Canada |🇨🇦🇺🇦 | he/him | achillean | stand with Ukraine | fuck nazis, tankies, radfems, and other bigots | anti AI | I do traditional and digital art, but mostly trad, mainly graphite and oil painting

[kazhanko-art]

So I saw some people had pinned posts, so imma copy them

Hi, welcome to my page. It’s mostly for art, but really it’s for reblogging stuff I like. If you do see my art, and you like it, lemme know! I crave random strangers validation, and I refuse to see a therapist about it.

You can use the kazhanko.art tag to see my stuff on here

I also have some other social accounts if y’all are interested:

@kazhanko.art on Instagram

@kazhanko on Twitter

I’ll update this post probably with more info, probably, maybe. Anyway, have a nice day

There's things you really can't explain to people who have not grown up familiar with the concept. Like the way Russia only keeps track of its borders by where the corpses pile up. As far as they're concerned, Russia expands as far as they can go, and every once in a while they'll test that. Shooting one or two won't fix it, unfortunately, you gotta keep doing that until the pile of russian corpses is big enough to make the next batch go "oh, so this is where Russia ends", give up and go back home.

It sucks for everyone involved but unfortunately you have to do that or they'll just walk right into your home, tell you that you live in Russia now, and as a matter of fact this land area has always belonged to Russia. Your kids can no longer go to school and get an education in their first language.

A lot of Americans, and even people from Western Europe, easily miss that Russia is as much of a colonial empire as the US or the various European empires, and that it still holds most of the land it conquered. Basically, all of Siberia, and much of European Russia, is essentially colonies feeding and enriching the small imperial metropole, consisting of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and their immediate surroundings.

[suratan-zir]

russian propagandists and their audience already foaming at the mouth demanding to hit large Ukrainian cities with "oreshnik" missiles and/or to nuke Ukraine into oblivion for today's attack on russian strategic aviation.

this is what a lot of Westerners don't get about russia when saying that if the war in all its destructive force comes to russia, then the ordinary russians will beg putin to stop the war. no, they won't. not the majority.

what a normal rational person sees: russia attacks Ukraine unprovoked, bombs a once peaceful country for years, said country defends itself and hits the military aviation that is regularly destroying Ukrainian cities and killing innocent people. cause and effects are obvious. solution – stop the war, get the fuck back to your country, pay reparations? no. because that's not what they see.

they see "ungrateful traitors" who were supposed to be russian, but made up their own silly little Ukrainian fake nationality, language, etc., and are now refusing to be a part of the great russian "motherland". and for that, these "traitors" deserve death. men, women, children. "traitors" don't get to defend themselves. every act of defense from Ukraine is viewed by an average russian as offense, a confirmation that Ukraine should be destroyed and putin was right to start the war. they don't see the cause and effects, the logic, the reason. they are blinded by their superiority complex and bruised ego.

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

[5soswfttwtaf]

literally cannot stand anyone who sympathises with russians while they're doing THIS to us and have been doing it for centuries to multiple nations

[wintersmitth]

One of the less known USSR traumas is the shame of not doing enough.

But grind culture in USA, you'll say? Yeah that's fucked up but it's not the point of the post. While USA work ethics are crazy it's still not illegal to enjoy your damn life as you please.

You had to have a job in USSR. They'd send you to do unpaid work if they caught you without job in day hours.

You couldn't be a freelance artist or independent contractor. You had to have a job. To get a room in a dormitory you had to have a job.

Anyway, our parents and grandparents generations have this mindset beaten into them that yoy have to keep doing something. You either work work work, or you work at the vegitable garden, or on the field, or all of it together! How dare you just enjoy your life. How dare you not deny yourself wearing pretty clothes, or using nice plates, or eating something more than macaroni with no sauce. It's so hard trying to make your mum believe she needs that new nice blouse because it'll look great on her not because the old one is falling apart.

In case anyone was wondering about the Lilo and Stitch movie here’s the highlights from someone chronically online enough to have seen the movie through snippets lol

Nani does in fact give Lilo up to the government, ppl defend it by saying David’s mom is her foster mom now but Lilo is still in fact in the system and can easily be taken away from David’s mom if conditions are “unfit”… the exact same situation Nani was in before lol

Took away all of Nani’s support system that the original movie develops for her except for David/his mom

Had Nani treat Lilo like a burden for “realism”… anyway…

Lilo literally says “you’re so smart Nani, I think you should join the Marines”

Nani was deeply connected to her culture and family, that aspect of her just isn’t there at the end of the day (and part of that is because Sydney is not indigenous Hawaiian and it shows… in looks, actions, and line delivery) and the conclusion to her story being giving up her kid sister to the state and leaving her home for a “better” education and future is atrocious

They had her go to California to study marine biology. First of all, it was implied she was a pro surfer in the og movie no hint of marine biology. Not every persons dream is college and it doesn’t need to be part of everyone’s story… the choice of “putting yourself first” in order to get a better education is very #girlboss… Second of all, Hawaii has multiple universities with marine biology programs that would give far more money and benefits to a native Hawaiian than literally any Californian school let alone UCSD lmao

They changed their island from Kauai to Oahu… most obvious reason they did this was because that is the island their resort is on and overrun with tourists. However, with this location change and their wack ass narrative changes they also made going to California even more blatantly propaganda because that is where the University of Hawaii at Manoa is… ALSO, Oahu has major cities… you know how Sitch has to find new meaning for existence because he can’t do what he was programmed to do because he’s stuck on an island with no big cities… yeah…

On this note, pretty much removed all substantial tourism commentary

Jumba is the villain, he sounds like a whiny computer nerd and it’s miserable

Pleakley is lame, rip queen 🕊️

Lilo is pretty well adjusted and normal lol? No fights, no biting, no trying to curse her enemies etc… she’s literally a normal girl which… alright then???

There is no Gantu (rumor has it this is at its core because they don’t want to make law enforcement look bad)

CGI is literally so fucking bad like besides aesthetics the actors literally don’t point to where Stitch is and when they’re supposed to touch it they often miss lol

Editing is also terrible. Every scene lasts like 5 seconds and is jarring, so genuinely terrible I think shows like this are gonna further ruin kids attention spans lmfao

Nani misses Lilo’s actual performance instead of just being late to pick up Lilo from practice after getting into a fight…

Myrtle isn’t white #diversity win

No ugly duckling subplot

Bubbles is not the social worker and is working against the gang (again removing all of Nani’s support system, he literally shows up for every holiday with the fam in the og)

Changing the social worker role from an externally imposing black man with good intentions to a gentle woman has some undertones tbh considering this is the justification: “According to Camp, it was easy for audiences to believe that a towering man with a "Cobra" tattooed on his knuckles was a social worker in the animated movie​​​​​. However, that kind of exaggerated character design doesn't translate convincingly to live-action.”

The new social worker literally tells Nani that the right thing to do is to give up Lilo… very different from Bubbles doing his best to keep the sisters together. Keeping family together is a prime goal in social work btw…

Ladies be aware and careful. Guys call out assholes who even think about doing that to someone.

[fierceawakening]

And not just ladies. Last time I circulated one of these sorts of post, a gay male friend mentioned a similar thing happening both to him and somebody he knew.

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

NEVER leave your drink unattended or unwatched around strangers, regardless of which gender you are. There's a possible serial killer or serial killers active in the US since the early 2010s who drugs young male victims and then throws them in nearby rivers to drown. The suspected method these potential killers use is having an attractive woman go up to these men and drug their drinks while flirting.

Not everybody is out to get you and most people never get assaulted or murdered or drugged at a bar or club. But it never hurts to be cautious and surround yourself with trusted friends when you go out to have a good time.

[misshorrorotaku-deactivated2024]

Quite frankly, we need to stop pretending this is information only women need to know. Stop it. Seriously. Everyone needs this information. Women need to call out women who are doing anything weird around an unattended drink too. Stop acting like only women need to worry and only men roofie.

And for that matter, women should be cautious around other women too. Don't leave your drink unattended with anyone you don't know, even women hold the potential of roofie-ing you.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

I always say "When you gender the issue, you gender the solution". And posts like these confirm it.

Woman arrested after Super Bowl reporter found dead in New Orleans hotel

A woman with a history of credit card theft and drugging men was arrested after a reporter covering the Super Bowl in New Orleans was found

Women can and do drug drinks. Men can be drugged too. The very act of pretending this is purely female on male is exactly why people pay less attention when women do it. Or those that notice just assume nothing will come of it.

Heck,

Cardi B admitted to drugging men to rob (and possibly rape) them and most of the coverage gave her more sympathy than they did her male victims.

Maybe don't pretend like this only works one way.

[the-based-brit]

I can still vaguely remember reading somewhere that she didn’t just drug and rob those men but she also RAPED them. They were unconscious after being drugged by her and thus, they could NOT consent (because duh, everyone knows you have to be fully awake and conscious in order to have consensual sex otherwise it’s not consensual and it’s not sex because rape isn’t sex)

Cardi B is scum who drugs, robs AND rapes men and I wouldn’t be caught dead having a drink with her at a bar.

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

[sodomit]

Y'all.

This post is about transandrophobia.

I did not tag it because I didn't have a lot to say, it was just me pointing fingers at people who said something fucked up, without any social analysis or deep commentary.

But this is transandrophobia, queer and supposedly trans accepting people shitting on transmasculine transition and pushing trans men to be feminine is transandrophobia. You have nothing to do on this post if you "don't believe transandrophobia materially exists".

The attitude to trans men's gender presentation as to a "downgrade" is rooted in the society's view of masculinity as something that corrupts womanhood, trans men are widely perceived as sick and tainted women that need to be either purified (raped and abused into detransition) or killed if they resist, to prevent the contagion spread.

The examples in the screenshots are non self aware byproducts of that idea.

I posted this fucking thing because I wanted to express disdain at how queer/ally community is ignorant to this problem and fails to protect trans men.

This post is about transandrophobia.

[asterosian]

That comment about “plot twist: it’s a trans girl detransitioning” bothers me too much to say nothing. Gee, you think it’d be so much better if the trans boy was a girl? You think it’d be more progressive and cool and shit if the trans boy was a girl? Trans men’s reality makes you so uncomfortable that, instead of seeing how fucked up this is and letting it develop some level of compassion for trans men, you’d rather just pretend that this isn’t happening and rewrite it so he’s a girl and the cis man father is supportive?

And everyone else whining about the “fashion downgrade”? So terribly sorry, I forgot I transitioned for your entertainment. Tell me, do you hold cis men to these standards? Do you go up to a cis man in a boring t-shirt and cargo shorts and tell him his outfit looks like shit? I’m guessing no, and yet you’re so comfortable doing it to trans men.

But, as was already stated, my masculinity is seen as a downgrade here. A sickness to be cured before I spread it to your daughters. Does it matter what I wear? You’ll complain no matter what I pick until I just detransition already. Hell, the outfit in that comic where he’s still trying to live as a girl looks to me more like a desperate attempt to force yourself into girlhood when you fundamentally don’t fit. You just adopt whatever is stereotypically girly, hoping that you’ll learn to like it and that people will accept you, not because you like it, but because this is what girls are supposed to like and you’re supposed to be a girl whether you like it or not. And when you finally accept that you’re just not a girl and stop forcing it, what do you think you’re going to wear? I’ll give you a hint: it’s pretty fucking boring. You haven’t had time to find what men’s fashion choices you like or what looks good on you or where to find the more interesting options or anything. What you have is what’s on the rack at fucking Walmart or something. But, just like the dad in the comic, just like too many trans men’s family members, just like the politicians legislating away your right to take a piss in peace, you like how he looked before. When the sickness of manhood hadn’t corrupted him. Isn’t he just so much more acceptable and likable when he’s pretending he’s someone he’s not in a desperate effort to gain the facade of acceptance you’ll give him if his performance is good enough for your liking?

The government of Alberta wants to implement "guidelines" to what is acceptable reading material in schools

All their examples of sexually explicit material is related to queer stories.

You can see their press release on the topic here.

Albertans have the opportunity to provide feedback until June 6, 2025 via a survey that can be found here.

If you're Albertan, please tell them that this idea is horrendous and that you do not stand behind them on this.

If you're not Albertan, please signal boost this so Albertans who haven't heard about this can have their say.

Some points worth making that you can use:

Book banning takes away parent choice of what their kids are allowed to read by restricting the books available to kids. It should be the job of the parent, not the government, to decide what a kid can read.

Instead of banning books, parents should talk to their kids (and if they want, the kids' librarian) about what they believe is appropriate vs inappropriate for their specific child/children. It's their job to monitor what their kids are reading, not the government's job.

Librarians are trained professionals who literally attend semester-long classes on how to choose books to purchase for their library. Are they saying that their training/professional judgement can't be trusted? If so, what are they employed for?

Thanks in advance,

An Albertan school librarian

The way people on this website absolutely stumble over themselves to inform people who are from or currently live in countries that spent decades under Soviet control how wrong they are about the negatives of that system because I, an American/Canadian/Australian/Western European socialist, assuredly know better than you do, is just so wild to me.

Have fun being russian soldiers' rapemeat lol

Why anonymously? Don't be ashamed, everyone has known for a long time that Russian soldiers are murderers, rapists, pedophiles, zoosadists and the list of their war crimes is endless. So don't be ashamed, write from your account and maybe a psychiatrist will be found who will help you

Hot fucking take but gunning down two Israeli embassy workers in front of a DC museum while shouting “free Palestine” won’t actually do anything to free Palestine. It just gets two innocent civilians killed, you sent to prison, and the entire movement delegitimized.

Good job 👍

[suspect-device]

you people are so opposed to political violence its almost pathetic, they were not innocent people, they willingly represented and advocated for a terrorist state which has killed over 20000 children. ireland, america, canada, and countless other nations were founded on vioent revolution. if you never fight back you are doomed, if americans dont fight with guns instead of words you will be crushed by the fascist police state, that is blatantly obvious to everyone but you.

[kazhanko-art]

…in what world was Canada founded on violent revolution, and why were two of the examples settler colonial states, both of which subjected the Indigenous populations to genocide and one of which got much of it’s land directly through violent wars and massacres of Indigenous people?
