Russians don’t get to use the fact that Russia is a multiethnical country against Ukraine. You don’t get to use all those people whose land you forcefully took and colonized as an arguement, when half of the time you treat those people as if they’re inferior to you. Those people don’t even fucking like you I promise

Ukrainians: our relatives in Russia won't even believe the war is happening! They don't listen to us at all! This is so horrible. My own mother doesn't believe me!

Foreigners: wow maybe their phones are being traced and they are just afraid to talk? Have you considered this?

Americans: this reminds me about the anti-vax movement *starts talking about the USA*

Why Ukraine won’t just make legal guarantee of not joining nato?

Ukraine won’t ever make that promise without a legal guarantee that Russia won’t invade them (again), and Russia won’t ever promise to never invade them (again) without a legal guarantee that Ukraine stays out of NATO. This is why diplomacy is important!

[thethroneoffirenowbelongstome]

Ukraine gave the nuclear weapons that were left there when the soviet Union collapsed back to Russia in exchange for a guarantee to acknowledge them as a country and to respect those borders. Look at how the russians kept to that promise in the past 8 years.

i'm a little confused about the individualism/collectivism post if you don't mind elaborating, were you agreeing or disagreeing with the person you reblogged?

I don’t believe either individualism and collectivism are inherently good or bad. I also think that a lot of the ppl on this website who seem to idealise collectivistic cultures wouldn't actually want to be raised in such culture. Yeah, people in collectivist societies leave home later (or never and in live in multi-generational homes) but that also comes with much higher parental influence f.e. over your partner choice.

People being similar to each other isn’t really what collectivism is tho and ironically how individualistic/collectivistic a culture is is what differs a lot of societies from each other.

Individualism is a poison upon this earth.

You and i overlap in more categories than we remain seperate. A mirror is held up every time you face another human. I am you and you are me bitch

[illjustgoinsanealittle-deactiva]

Looking at the notes is so fucking funny cause literally everyone is like “no thank I am the exception” lol no you are not. All your experiences are cosmically mundane and you gotta learn to see the beauty in that instead of feeling threatened.

[kolduny]

a belief that people’s experiences are universal isn’t what collectivism is

[fusdoq]

you know how we talked about being mean to children or animals is a big red flag, we should add hating old people for no reason. if a person gets irritated just by the mere presence of an elderly and doesn't have an ounce of patience bc they are "slow" etc, then that's telling me enough

Nshu-chinas-secret-female-only-language

Throughout history, women in rural Hunan Province used a coded script to express their most intimate thoughts to one another. Today, this once-“dead” language is making a comeback.  

Nüshu developed in the isolated hamlets hidden among the mountains and valleys of China’s south-eastern Hunan province

Many of these women were illiterate, and to learn Nüshu, they would simply practise copying the script as they saw it. Over time, Nüshu gave rise to a distinct female culture that still exists today.

Remarkably, for hundreds or possibly even thousands of years, this unspoken script remained unknown outside of Jiangyong, and it was only learned of by the outside world in the 1980s.

“It was originally believed to be a code of defiance against the highly patriarchal society “

Today, 16 years after the last known fluent native “speaker” of this ancient code passed away, this little-known written language is experiencing something of a rebirth. The centrepiece of its revival is in the tiny village of Puwei, which is surrounded by the Xiao river and only accessible via a small suspension bridge.
