Mastodon actually seems decent, so I think I'll also post there lolz

I've changed the profile picture here but I'm not sure how easy is it on the eyes, I mean like, isn't that too much going on here?

Gimme some mine old stuff you want me to redraw tee hee

Friend of mine has got into shitty situation at home and is currently looking for a job. Any financial support would be great

Their journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10722237/

Yooo hi I haven't communicated much here since well um life events, but for now we've finally found apartment so our last worry is how do we pay rent for now, so I highly recommend to check out my some new stuff or commission my friends who also live in the same house

But nonetheless, financial problems aside, I really feel extremely confused at how peaceful it is in Georgia? Literally nobody gives us weird looks or cashiers don't really perceive me as stupid person by the way how "slow" I act. It's also somewhat cool that during social situations we and strangers both have language barriers and we all need to figure out how do we communicate. I dunno, but through communications like that I feel like yeah these strangers are completely well meaning since they're trying to understand us and that shit...

About my mento iwness. I think I should taper off from venlafaxine, I think for now I shouldn't completely cut it off but first of all the current dosage I take doesn't do much shit for me, but it's still very pricey. And also um. It's very subjective but I feel like I'm "way too stable" for myself. I kind of miss my racing ADHD thoughts or completely insane drawing ideas. Now my head is empty and I don't feel like I want to do anything at all and it sucks :((. If you ever had this experience you can share it here

So back to the title question, how are you doing? I'm inch rested 👁👁

Too exhausted to write on social media but we're not in Russia anymore. We planned to move to Britain but we were late for fleeing through transit there because of their new law about visas. At Turkish airport some people tried their best to help us but unfortunately there was nothing they could do about it. So we've decided to flee to Georgia and stay there for a while.

We've slept couple of days at airport and were on the verge of becoming homeless but so far some very generous people have donated us and I'm very thankful for them.

The most shocking part in Georgia for me was the fact that police actually tried to help us. And weren't saying some queerphobic shit at all. My first and last interaction with policemen in Russia ended up with them calling me a "lesbian" as a negative thing and also assumed twice that my friends are drug addicts and then told me to go back to parents lol. But here the policemen weren't offtoping fjsjgjdj

I'm not saying that Georgia is an utopia for queer people, absolutely not considering the very proactive alt right and pro russia groups. But here at least you definitely have freedom of speech. You can tell random people that you're against Russia and they will understand. You ACTUALLY can report on queerphobia and even though not unbiased but the people will do something about it. It just feels so weird to be honest, for you it might be the most basic common sense but I as someone who haven't lived in democratic country already very thankful for this

Yooo guys, please, I'm begging you to draw for 30 minutes and then rest for 5-or-something minutes and do the hand and spine exercises.

I know it may be hard when you're reeally involved in the process but it's essential for you. I'm just 20 y/o and don't draw a lot but I still get a lil weird feeling in my hands if I work for more than hour in a row. Maybe my ergonomics sucks but yeah that's what I've got. Also don't be afraid of change of pace due to health conditions if you're just a hobbyist and art isn't your primary job. Not really many people draw like crazy and we also do age. And aging is actually superb personally, when I was a teen I didn't believe that I would be alive today but here I am. I don't want to completely idolize it but if you will listen to your body then at most times you'll be fine. So yeah bitches go do these hand exercises NOW!!!

just made a journal to make sure that im still here just got a bit inactive

Ukrainian artist just lost their parent after missile attack and needs financial help right now

PLEASE AT LEAST SPREAD

HIIII I'm writing this journal in case if the internet in Russia goes down, so if I suddenly disappear probably this happened then (I literally have zero idea how did we get here but wagner group (the ultra right pro-war russian group) got really upset with russian ministry of defense so they're in the center of Moscow now trying to commit mutiny and kill Shoigu who is the minister of defence)
Like this is really messy and I feel like there could be civil war for real and at the same time there's a possibility that internet will go down for a while (they're trying to ban google already lol)

Read this BBC article to get the idea overall: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66005256

LOL WHAT JUST HAPPENED

EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH WE FUCKING DID IT

Remember my journal about trans people in Russia? This aged like a milk.

Government is preparing a new law for us, which is... literally ban of every kind of help to transition and adapt in society. People WON'T be able to change their IDs, go through HRT and gender affirmative surgeries. Also russian propagandists started to talk about us much more on TV, they frame us and The Gays as a public enemy #1. Think how many are going to lose homes, jobs and sent to conversion therapists and commit suicide (suicide rates in Russia are high already, and I'm talking about people in general, not just trans people)

To say that I'm devastated is an understatement. I'm in a fucking terror. They just want us dead OFFICIALLY. We have nothing to do in this country anymore, we have to run away and become refugees. Now for realz guys. I want me and 4 people who are very dear to me and are the reason why am I still alive to get out here.

I tried to contact with my blood relatives and ask for financial help (spoiler alert they're an upper middle class), all of them fucking told me "to get therapy" because they truly believe that I'm trans because of internal misogyny. That "I got bullied so much by the boys, so I decided to become like them so they won't anymore" as my mom told me. She is the same person who believes that gay people are funded by The New World Order (TV is that brainrotting folks). "I won't give you anything even if I had it" - my sister told me. Jesus fucking christ I'm so tired of everything.

So with that being said, please share this journal (it's by my friend and roommate, he's tracking donations) or/and donate, we have to earn a lot this time: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10581244/

I think I might create an alternative account specifically for NSFW and personal stuff, I'm just not really comfy with posting this stuff here,,,

Haiii so the question is should I put shitposty doodles in scraps or is there any charm of them being on main gallery? I'm currently organizing stuff, so I wonder

Spoiler: very very bad...

Please make sure to share, this is the best you can do to help us right now

I'd like to add some context at first:

In 2013 there was signed a "gay propaganda" law in which The Russian government's stated purpose for the law is to "protect *children* from being exposed to homosexuality"
Amongst the war crimes our country is parctipating in there are new comedically bad and authoritorian laws being signed to silence basically everyone who has common sense

However, I dare to say, queer and especially POC are affected by these the most
In 5th December 2022 "gay propaganda" law's extension is called "on the prohibition of propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations or preferences, pedophilia (lol) and gender reassignment"

It states that now also adults, not just children can be exposed to ✨ the gays ✨
Under this law literally every queer person can be charged even by just openly being themselves

Despite this we still have very advanced queer activism organisations and the one this thread's about is Center T that currently needs awareness and external help
Center T is one of the organizations that specifically:
- helps trans people by having contacts with clinics that help with transition and therapy
- provides spaces for trans people to connect with each other
- helps with donations for people in need

This organization is like, very vital for trans Russia residents

Thanks to them my friend is going through transition and had succesful top surgery and I have contacts with people in city I live in

So we really hope that people outside of the country will help them

❗️🏳️‍⚧️ Right now, the head of Center T - Yan Dvorkin is charged by the "LGBT+ propaganda" law

Court has done formal violations and refused to hear witnesses and experts from the defense. They literally give no fucking shit
Source: https://medium.com/@center-t/the-fi.....a-665033566eda

Currently Yan will be will be awarded a fine of 100,000 ₽ (1298 USD) and this is the minimum fine for individuals. The case is still going on and I'm afraid that it's not the end

Please consider to help simply by sharing info as much as possible

Just got diagnosed with recurrent depressive disorder and ADHD and I feel like yeah I fucking knew it, so I hate people who stand against self diagnosis even more

Also we have to move out YET AGAIN (the whole situation is described here https://twitter.com/vv0ltz/status/1.....39260951494659 and I'm asking you to share bc it's urgent and we're in credit debt right now) but at least the apartment is much nicer

also added a banner. I'm very glad for this feature but it was kinda painful ;D

Works best on PC, but I hope it's still readable on phones too

OMG THANK YOU GUYS SM YOU'RE THE COOL

It's been almost a year since I moved out from my parents. I've always spent birthdays with my blood relatives and they were uncomfortable, it always resulted in someone getting drunk and aggressive, so I had to hide in my room. Very gladly they didn't bother me when I was hiding. But I still hate the fact that I had to hide, be completely alone and play fucking minecraft while my parents are arguing

That is going to be my first birthday that I will spend with people who truly care about me and only wish me wellbeing without any grudges and talks behind my back about how I "look like a transvestite". I'm so happy to be in a safe place

Anywho knows minecraft 1.18.2 (java) servers just for vanilla survival? Shaders kinda refreshed my willing to play ghhjgfhjg

Idk I haven't used journals for a while?? How are u doing?
