It's a crisis phone number organized from Polish Migrant Forum, which offers psychological support.

They speak Ukrainian and Russian.

Very random DS9 idea/plotbunny/headcanon:

Garak and Bashir have a movie night together and watch Akira Kurosawa's "Rashōmon"...

... and then they sit for hours afterwards arguing who's version of the story was real and who was actually lying.

[cossachka-offical]

By the way if you are pro-palestine but not pro-ukraine(or vice versa but one is more common on the left, which is who i identify with) you are a fucking hypocrite. Yeah, that's right, you are not morally consistent.

Russians use civilians as target practice for drone pilots, every couple months there's a documentary about civilians being tortured or raped while captive in occupied territorry(i won't call those prisons, the russian state kidnaps them), the russian state kidnaps our children, they ethnically cleansed crimea of its natives(for the second time, by the way, the soviet union did that before them)

[naasfalti-blocked]

And the pro Israel pro Ukraine position is officially held by everyone in Ukrainian government with no room for dissent. You'd have to disavow your entire government. We endorsed every American aggressive operation this year alone.

No, sending some food bags is not pro Palestinian geopolitical position. It doesn't count.

[cossachka-offical]

"Do you condemn Hamas?"

[naasfalti-blocked]

No. I don't.

Are seriously saying that asking Ukrainian government to condemn the invasion of Venezuela is the same as asking a Palestinian to condemn hamas?

[cossachka-offical]

1) That's not even what you did, you asked me to disevow my corrupt, lying, hypocritical government, which, for the record, i don't.

2) It is — you're diverting from the real issue at hand.

[naasfalti-blocked]

Not it fucking isn't?

Which imperial invasion did hamas endorse?

You just said "if you support Ukraine but not Palestine i don't fuck with you" you can't hold this standard to tumblr users, but not people in power, who actually matter.

[cossachka-offical]

You're diverting from the issue at hand.

[naasfalti-blocked]

You have to answer at least one of these questions to explain your leap in logic from USA to hamas.

The analogy is not fit for the situation.

[cossachka-offical]

I don't have to explain shit to you, this attempt to distract from russia's being a fascist dictatorship, ethnic displacement of millions, settler colonialism and atrocities, by making me what? state my opinions on everything my government ever did? which any reasonable person(so not you) can infere from what i already said, to bog me down in distractions and circular arguments.

It has nothing to do with your real position — i'm not even sure you have a real position. Considering this is like the fourth time you created a new account to argue with me, the read i'm getting is an obsessed contrarian.

[naasfalti-blocked]

Russian federation has not ethnically displaced millions bro.

I'm just saying, your morals and your partisan allegiance contradict eachother.

[silverstrike]

"Russian federation has not ethnically displaced millions"

Bro... are you for fucking real???

[cossachka-offical]

I'll correct you. This one is actually ukrainian, they're also several kinds of insane, and have a personal vendetta against me, because of a dispute about similarities between Bandera and Lenin. I already blocked like three of their previous accounts.

[silverstrike]

Oh, it's that dipshit (just remember they made a reply mocking those ukranians who were against Heated Rivalry).

And them being ukrainian... I should be surprised by the massive level of self-hatred this individual has to have in order to actively and vehemently defend the "honor" of their oppressors, but then I remember we have useful idiots like that in Poland too.

Anyway, condolences for having to deal with someone like that

[naasfaltiunbothered]

How does one say something like this

And not think to themselves "god I'm a petty capricious petulant child"

Sorry for not being a nationalist bootlicker for a state with a actual power over my life and death.

[cossachka-offical]

The lack of self-awareness of saying this after bootlicking russia for this entire thread is astounding.

[naasfaltilooking]

I have not said a single positive thing about Russia in this entire thread. This conversation would be 2 reblogs long if you weren't such a difficult donkey and engaged with a single question.

To you being pro Russian stooge literally just means not being a loyalist hyper patriotic kamikaze soldier for Ukraine, and daring to demand criticism of it in any capacity. You literally are doing "do you condemn hamas" to me right now.

[silverstrike]

Bro, fuck off with those multiple side-accounts, cause you're being creepy as fuck. That is peak stalker behavior.

Just fucking admit you like the taste of ruzzian bootleather and are an unemphatic sociopath towards your fellow countrymen who are being murdered, tortured, SAd and displaced because your government did some questionable things therefore collective punishment is cool, I guess.

Like own up to it and move on.

(there's an English description included on the site)

As some of you may know, Russia has been bombing power infrastructures, rendering many of the households (and also facilities such as hospitals) without electricity and heat. The situation is quite dire: as we speak, the temps in Ukraine can get anywhere between -15 to -30 degrees Celsius.

This organization (or rather a coalition of different NGOs) linked above seeks to purchase power generators that would function as backup support, during power outages caused by russian bombings/drone strikes.

Vera of Council of Geeks says that she doesn't like the romance genre, but she very much enjoyed the show "Heated Rivalry", for multiple reasons. This was interesting to listen to (ca. 42 min):

[silverstrike]

I've actually made a series of posts on Vera's Bluesky detailing why I personally think consuming this sort of media uncritically can be considered highly problematic considering what sort of times we live in. To my knowledge she failed to address the issues, particularly Ukrainians and non-Russian Eastern Europeans have, which is not only pretty dismissive, but also, considering her platform, a touch alarming.

Anyway:

Have you now seen the episode?

✅ Lots of body types presented, including in the main cast

✅ a variety of uniform choices seen

✅ Don't think I've ever seen an Academy Class Starship around in the 21st century

✅ granted, haven't seen much sexual diversity yet, though Jet Reno will be in it and pretty sure she's gay and genderqueer

✅ ???

✅ in the poster there's a girl (Genesis Lythe) who also has mild prosthetics, plus there's dozens of characters both in the bridge crew and among the cadets they have extensive prosthetic makeup

Finished the watercolor of the Wrightson creature! This is a gift for somebody, but I wish I was keeping him 🫡

[silverstrike]

I also envy that person, because this drawing/painting is simply gorgeous. 💜

[snowpaw23]

Awwwww! I’m stealing that gif 🤣

Yeah, this piece is actually going to Bernie’s son, John Wrightson. He’s sent me pics of his creature statue and has spoken to me at length about the novel, so I thought it only fair to return the favor.

I’m also doing a painting for Mike Hill to give him when we meet up later this week, but I’m worried about how that one will turn out, it’s not going great so far ☠️

[silverstrike]

Oh, my... a gift for Bernie's son?? Wow... just... 😳

And you're making a gift for Mike Hill... I'm actually kinda jealous. You knowing all these great people, who contributed to keeping the Franken-legacy alive (hehe) and well. 😂

No, but for real, I think they'll love these pieces of artwork: it's honestly great. 💜

And feel free to use this gif. 😂 I created it to treat myself: I love the original Bernie's Frankenstein illustrations. There's just something about his Creature design that speaks to me on an emotional level (he's both frightening but also sympathetic) and it's my fave right next to Elordi one.

As a Christmas gift to myself, I got myself a copy of "Frankenstein: Alive! Alive!" (someone recommended it on Twitter) and I've been kinda obsessed with it ever since. I love the portrayal of the Creature in there - there are so many moments in it, where I just wanna give him a big hug. 😭💜 It's sad that the series was so tragically cut short (since every story that focuses on the Creature being alive and well, and trying to find his place in the world has me instantly sold), but even still - it's a masterful piece of work (I could stare for hours at those illustrations showcasing Doctor Ingles' laboratory).

There's also this absolutely gorgeous illustration that I found recently, of the Creature standing in the rain:

The image is from an eBay auction... It's a shame that it's so friggin expensive (last time I checked it was $11k), because it's just so... *chef's kiss*

Anyway, sorry for babbling so much... I have become really and deeply passionate about the Bernie Wrightson Creature (and Frankenstein in general).

(also, apologies for the late reply: post-Christmas/end-of-semester chaos got to me).

And now this panel of the Creature holding a newborn baby tenderly lives rent free in my mind:
