Collected in collaboration with Sibaj previously of the handle @Tatarstani and Kakhvise of the handle @kakhvisa

————————

For the sake of context: a quarter of Sibaj’s family resides within the borders of the Donetsk People’s Republic. She also lived for an extended period in the Donetsk Oblast prior to the outbreak of the Civil War and the Euromaidan revolution, and briefly returned there in 2019. Kakhvise has participated in three separate humanitarian aid missions to the Lugansk People’s Republic, in addition to working with Muslim internally displaced persons from Donbass. I myself am from the Donetsk People’s Republic. None of us are “Tankie Westerners” projecting ideological fantasies onto this conflict, nor are we Russian ethno-nationalists seeking to expand borders or justify violence against Ukrainians. In fact, none of us have Russian heritage at all.

Apologies if any heavy hitters were passed by, all three of us are Russian citizens, we do not regularly interact with Western Media!

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

[sylestial]

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

[tayefeth]

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

[antique-scarecrow]

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

[downtroddendeity]

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

[antiterfbutch]

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[gondorrevealparty]

They need to eat less because they're so small and weak. Why are they so small and weak? Because they eat less. Let's base our entire society on this distinction.

[poutingpuppyprincess]

We should give out free testosterone so women get stronger!

[gondorrevealparty]

this is a post about how girls are taught to eat less and shrink themselves, even as children. it's a post about the deep mistreatment that starts early and remains foundational to the way we divide work, social class, and chances at opportunity. it's a post about how people think men are stronger because of a natural advantage, when that advantage is manufactured and reinforced by suppressing women. it's not a post about transmasculinity.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Donate to Monthly Necessities for Queer Refugees in South Sudan - May 2026

Donate to Help LGBTQ Refugee Survive Camp, organized by Nerves Nebula

Hi I'm Judas (internet name NervesNebula) and I'm an American fundraising for my friend … Nerves Nebula needs your support for Help LGBTQ Re

237/1320

Abdul sent me an estimate on the monthly necessities his group needs to fundraise. If we could have donations mostly cover this every month, it'd mean that my money could support him more through emergencies. In the past I've been supporting them for stuff like rent and food on my own and then fundraising for emergencies but it's more stable to try it the other way around, because that would mean I could save up more for emergencies and wouldn't have to try to scrape together the money in a very short time frame.

Again, I deeply appreciate people continuing to donate and share around Abdul’s gofundme. below the cut for more information on the breakdown of the money

as always you can find past images and videos of Abdul and his friends on my blog tagged as #abdulfund, and his blog is @queersudan if you'd like to speak to him yourself. here's the budget he sent me, though it's very common for them to nee

d sudden emergency care.

there's also an added issue this month, Abduls phone has been acting up and he needs a new one. A new one costs $550, so I've added that onto the goal for this month. I'll also add any money I send him to the goal here just to be clear.
