My eyes are on the road

It all started with the Russian government making it illigal to talk about queerness amongst children, which was greatly celebrated by the homophobic majority back in the day. Later, they made it punishable for queer adults to publicly share their stories amongst other adults too, which was also celebrated.

On 30th November of 2023, the "lgbtq+ organization" was titled as "extremist", along with all the pro-Ukranian and anti-war organizations, which led to radical, aggressive censorship of all media in Russia. Then, big western social media were banned, along with monetization on them, which made activism for queer/pro-Ukrainian Russians even more difficult than it used to be, as it's required to dox yourself to the government by putting your "content creator" number (obtained from the official public services app "Госуслуги" by giving your sensitive information) in your BIO to get monetized legally. That has affected the right to privacy of not only Russian activists, but also of every Russian content creator.

12 days ago, on September 1st, 2025, they published a new law that punishes those who GOOGLE SEARCH unfavorable information about the government, "extremist" media, or anything that might suggest opposition to the Russian government and its actions. It's not just illegal to "seem" anti-war, or pro-gay, or pro-trans anymore — It's the MINDSET that's being criminalized right now. It's illegal to QUESTION, it's illegal to RESEARCH, it's illegal to INFO CHECK, it's illegal to EDUCATE YOURSELF, it's illegal to even TRY to FIND OUT THE TRUTH, even if you're doing it ON YOUR OWN.

So when I tell you,

It's NEVER about your safety and it's NEVER about "the kids",

└ MIK-KO RAN-TA-NEN! I SAID A MIK-KO RAN-TA-NEN

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

Victorian puzzle purse

What you need:

A square paper. Mine is 21 x 21cm cut from a A4 paper. Use a thicker paper if you are going to be using watercolours as you’re going to be painting double sided.

Your favourite decorating tools!

Below is the How-to. I’ve also uploaded a more detailed tutorial on my story for my origami beginners so that you can flick back and forth:

Fold along diagonally in both corners. You will have two creases forming four triangles.

Fold into three sections. Rotate 90 degrees and repeat this step folding inwards.

Flip it over!

Fold all bottom corners to meet the corners of the centre square.

Flip it over again so you’re back on the side you started with.

Fold four corners inwards and twist slightly until a pinwheel shape forms. This bit is a bit scary but trust your creases!

Form a purse by folding the arms inwards.

Tuck the last arm in! 💌

Decorating tips: Make it unique for the person receiving it! In my card I’ve included things that we both like: lemons and apples we like to bake desserts with, favourite flowers…. And lots of cliche stuff like love hearts, angels, love birds and poems because why not! I’ve placed these motives in mirroring positions to create symmetry – gives it that folky vibe

"The meeting of two tides reveals a fascinating phenomenon of wave interference in the Qiantang River in China, where the forces of the water overlap and create geometric patterns on the surface.

This visual effect is not just a natural curiosity, but a clear demonstration of how geometry is an omnipresent element in the fundamental processes of nature.

Wave interference teaches us about the interaction of forces that shape the universe, showing that harmony and balance are fundamental principles that govern both the micro and macrocosm."
