Sergey Razumovsky is nonbinary, Bird and Rag transwomen/girls. My OC Lichinka Gorky is a transman.

Felix Yusupov is also nonbinary but apathetic about it. Uses he/him by default but any way to gender them is correct. His friend calls him Charlotte Corday as a nickname (that part is canon btw. She was an assassin during the French revolution).

Plus extra pics of Lichinka Gorky because I love him

Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.

(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)

(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)

1) Racist Chinese Dolls.

There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.

This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)

2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.

Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.

Some people have compared black children to the doll.

Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.

(Source 1 + Full Video) (Source 2)

There are more videos surfacing.

3) Black people are going missing.

Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."

While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.

The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.

By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.

It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

1. Screenshot of a tweet by @/carterdalast, reading:

For those asking for context here it is

Note : these Black baby toys are being used as socks, shower etc and are also abused

Do yall even realize how insane this is?[five more question marks]

[Attached is a screenshot of a tiktok video. In front right corner there's the Black author of the response video. In the background is the original video, in which a Chinese person excitedly shows up a baby doll with brown skin, Black features and bright pink lips. At the bottom of the screenshot, there's the word "This" in red text, part of the subtitles of the video.

The tweet is a quote-retweet of one from @/werepixies, reading:

"anti-blackness is just an american thing, we don't do that over here" there's a popular toy in china right now of a black baby because people find it funny to abuse it...]

2. Screenshot of a Xiaohongshu post by 我是一只cici with multiple images (only one visible). That image is a photo of an adult Chinese person holding up a Black child in their arms and excitedly grinning the text of the post reads:

Who can ever resist a real-life little Natasha with drool? [This line is the post's title]

Can't believe I actually got to hug the real-life little Natasha.

She's just so adorable.

She's got her own makeup on, and I just couldn't resist getting a little cuddle in.

3. Screenshot of a tweet by @/k0knut, reading:

There is no redemption for disgusting people like this

[Attached is a video titled: How Some Chines Vloggers In Africa Are Abusing African Children For Content. In the screenshot it is paused at the beginning, with multiple photos or screenshots of Black children in the background; in one of them, the very small child's face is being squeezed by a light-skinned adult hand. Text on a bar reads in caps: Disgusting Trend on the Chinese Internet; there's a "curtain" of the Chinese flag sliding off.

The tweet is a quote-retweet of one from @/Hooniez4Han, reading: they're on RedNote calling Black children irl Natasha [an emoji not rendering in the screenshot, resulting in a rectangle symbol]; with the screenshot shown in 2 attached]

4. Another tweet by @/k0knut:

this account too:

[Attached is a video, in which in the background an adult Chinese person is holding a small Black child whose face is censored with pixels. In the bottom there's text from the original video: 我有浩的娜塔莎. At the top left, there's added text: [unseen] Nigeria and she holds and swings this child as if it's a doll, hoping to use their likeness for views as they cry

That tweet is another quote-retweet of the same @/Hooniez4Han tweet]

The keyboard one reminded me of the keyboard monument in Yekaterinburg. So I got an idea for a cryptid!

Meet The Keyboard Beast of Yekaterinburg. Known as Knopochnik, Spinoklavy Zver or Klaviaturny Zver in Russian.

but it comes with THIS side effect

based on this post

Across from them, the other offers a gaze that is heavy and liquid, searching the air for a spark of direction. Their eyes don't demand; they plead for a lead to follow. It is a dual surrender: one waits to be told what to do, while the other waits to be told what to want. In this shared hesitation, neither is the master, and both are completely held by the other's stillness.

i am scouring the internet like the victorians scoured and destroyed all trace of joy and color from stolen relics for the LOST NAME OF THE ANCIENT PROCESS of textile-creation akin to knitting/crocheting/nålebinding that at least one academic/crafter used to recreate the leggings on this Glorious Motherfucker:

Archer statue from the Temple of Aphaia (ca. 480 BC) next to a reconstruction of its original paint job:

The leggings and sleeves would have created using a method called SPRANG which predates knitting and is over 3,000 years old. What's even sexier is modern artisans managed to recreate the entire outfit using the original method!

Mmm-HMM, love me a shapely thigh in harlequin hosiery. Put👏men👏in👏clingy-ass👏clothing👏again👏👏👏

Unfortunately english sources are hard to find, partly because Google's a shithole, but also because this textile project comes from a German museum, in Germany, where people tend to speak (and publish) in German. That said, the original link is to a short-but-sweet article I would have had no problem finding in 30 seconds a mere few years ago. fortunately i have clever beautiful insane people following me, but alas not everyone has such luxury. thanks to everyone in the notes who shoved themselves down this rabbithole with me!

Fall into one of 2 (out of many) sexual variations from birth

Identify as the gender associated with whichever of the 2 variations you're in

Conform with the norms and traditional expressions for that gender

Experience sexual and romantic attraction, exclusively towards the opposite gender

Enter into de jure monogamous relationships with partners you feel sexual and romantic attraction towards

Deviation from this list is frequently punished with social stigma, bigotry, denial of certain legal rights or protections, and often violation of bodily autonomy

Such awareness can be gained due to one deviating from them(or at least chafing at the expectation) oneself, learning of someone else who breaks with those expectations, or (most rarely, to the point that even mentioning this possibility feels like a thought experiment, though there are so many people that someone will have pulled it off) by deeply interrogating one's own cultural expectations of what people can be, the last of which being a philosophical exercise vanishingly few would even think to attempt, and of those who do, odds of them stumbling across a truly novel(to them) axis of identity they do not deviate from the expectations in but can recognise that such deviations are possible.(I do not claim this little list of mine to be exhaustive either.)

(For example, there is an expectation that one is comfortable with and confident in being (identified as) human.)

As I understand it, "queer" is intended to be the broadest umbrella for people who, in any way whatsoever, do not identify with the expectations their society places on how one "ought to" identify.

But yeah, radqueer kind of queerness is much broader. Indentify as human. Identify as your legally recognized age, and conform with the social norms associated with it. I don't know how to word transethnic and transabled ones, plus there are lots of other transidentities.

THE THRILLING CONCLUSION

AND 

IT’S

IT’S

IT’S NOT AN OPTION IT’S NOT AN OPTION I CAN’T I-

No one said “hey let’s stop missending things to Nepal” they just said “let’s make a stamp for this” and called it a day.

Give me your eyes, because I want to see myself the way you see me — as someone worth staying for.

Plural Catch-22: the path to happiness is lined with people who will call you fake for trying to walk it.

Fuck them. Walk it anyway.

Every time I go over one I need someone to help hold my chair and get me over it. Even with that support it hurts like Hell and has caused whiplash injuries for me in the past. It’s also very unsafe for others because even with support I cannot 100% control the angle my chair will end up lurching over it (and my chair weighs over 150kg without me in it so it’s not something you want to collide with). It’s also terrifying and makes noises that make me very concerned for my chair’s structural integrity.

If you want your event to actually be accessible to wheelchair users then consider using something more like this:
