well i wish stalin was MY mom

Sorry but I got sick of scrolling through the notes on this on desktop and seeing all the red usernames marked by shinigami eyes reblogging this.

Her testimony reads: “I lived in Krasnoarmeysk on Pushkin Street. The worst thing the Ukrainian Armed Forces ever did was shoot people. The Ukrainian Armed Forces killed a lot, entered basements and killed. One remained in the basement, a neighbor, a man around 50. The neighbors later searched for him and found him in the basement. He was sitting on a chair with bullets through his knees and his ears cut off. There were cases in the summer, flour was stored in bags. A bag on a bench, two bags of flour inside. People had nothing to eat, so they tried to take it for themselves, but there were explosives in it; a woman's arm was blown off. People are starving and grabbing any food they can. The whole city was telling stories about this. And after that we realized that even if there was some food there, we couldn't touch it, because it could be mined. A neighbor was shot by the Ukrainian Armed Forces near us. There's a well two streets away, and he was going to get water. It's quite an adventure, just going there. Drones are hitting, hitting everything that moves. You have to manage to wait for fog or something to stock up on water and go to the well. So we were going to the well, the neighbor was going, getting some water, going home, and was almost there. They shot someone over there, near the house where Tolstoy Street intersects with Pushkin Street. They killed a guy, 44 years old. He was walking in just galoshes, some kind of vest. He literally didn't live six days before the Russian troops arrived. They also mined the coal mines. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were still in the city. Have you seen where people collect coal during the cold season? People collected coal to heat their homes or whatever was left of them. We went to collect coal. Every house has a coal firebox where people used to buy coal and stockpile it. We arrived, and it was mined. There was an anti-tank mine there, tripwires. I saw it myself. Miraculously, we didn't blow up. There were a lot of tripwires. Tripwires, plastic explosives-they were right there behind the door. In that same coal firebox. Petals were strewn everywhere. My husband, Aleksandr Yanovich Chernyshev, is a miner. He was riding his bicycle and got blown up by a petal. He has broken legs, lacerations, gunpowder burns to his body, and a hole in his eye. An elderly grandmother was killed - a Ukrainian drone struck nearby, too. And a man was also riding a bicycle. It was summer. He suffered injuries there, and they pulled out the shrapnel with magnets. There are no doctors, but we have one person who is more or less familiar with medicine; he tried using a magnet. We did what we could - we have no medications, no cures. Hydrogen peroxide, a magnet, and off we go. The Ukrainian Armed Forces robbed everything and took it away. They were settling in civilian homes. They took everything they needed. They took equipment, bicycles, if they were good, and scooters. They kicked people out of neighborhoods. They'd come in and find a basement they liked, if there was a decent basement in the building, and they'd kick you out. They'd give you a few hours, and if you didn't leave, it meant execution. They'd say, 'Come out, we need your basement, we need a point here.' They tortured people, it's impossible to describe. Isn't that torture? When they kick you out of your home, when they mine everything around you, when they shoot you.”

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

In its current state, the amendment still does not guarantee 2 days of rest (only one). Notably, it increases maximum possible overtime hours from 9 (paid double) to a whopping 12 (paid double) plus 4 (paid triple). With the workweek now 8 hours shorter, employers are incentivized to make use of these 7 additional overtime hours to compensate.

Additionally, the amendment allows an employment contract to define a "flexible" workday. This would allow, for example, a weekly schedule of three workdays lasting 12 hours each (the maximum). Previously, the maximum was 11 hours (8 ordinary, 3 overtime). This could also allow for schedules where certain time windows or activities are excluded from the work day, and thus from the employer's legal responsibilities.

Back in 2025, the CPM had already criticized the reform for being the result of a "dialogue" between all involved parties - excluding workers. In February, unions had already made the above criticisms, and the National Front for 40 Hours had denounced the government's last-minute cancelation of an audience, deceptive claims about supposed consensus, and general rejection of any dialogue.

Israel has once again cut off all aid to Gaza and closed all crossings into the strip, intensifying its genocidal blockade as the population faces widespread disease and malnutrition.

The move, announced by the Israeli military’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (Cogat), comes after Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for its strikes against Lebanon.

Israel has repeatedly violated its ceasefire agreements with Hamas and Hezbollah, killing hundreds in both Gaza and Lebanon in recent months as it seizes control of more land.

The apartheid state last cut off all entry to Gaza in late February following the outbreak of the US and Israel’s illegal war on Iran.

...

Cogat said in a post on X on Monday that crossings into Gaza would be closed “until further notice”. It falsely claimed the move “will not affect the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.

The answer is: the uterus isn't what causes your period, it is effected by your period. What causes your period and what causes trans women's periods is the same thing: the endocrine system.

HRT changes the sex of your endocrine system. Feminizing HRT makes it a female endocrine system, giving us a 28-day hormone cycle just like cis women. At the end of that cycle, the hypothalamus floods the body with prostaglandins. Those are what cause all but one of the period symptoms, because they make muscles inflame and contract. They are what make the uterus shed its lining, they are what cause intestinal cramps, they are what cause body aches, they are what cause headaches and migraines. The only period symptom not causes by the release of prostaglandins throughout the body is depression, and that is caused by your endocrine system simply not processing as much estrogen and from simply feeling like shit.

So, the only symptoms trans women don't get every 28 days is menstrual cramps, because yes we do not menstruate since we don't have uteruses. But migraines, depression, body aches, intestinal cramps, and the infamous "period shits" don't exactly add up to us having any better of a time. Except we have to pretend that we're fine and nothing is different because no one believes that we get periods, not even cis women.
