(Actually spent a good few months thinking I was genetically unlucky and researching ancient family curses with my grandma.) 

So today I don’t know what I was hoping for - nothing, really?

(I mean, that part of me that’s still twelve was probably expecting this sweet old woman to have a set of glitter stickers in her purse and just go ‘You know what, you’re right - I’ve been saving this one for you all these years, here you go’ but I’m a solidly rational person and I know that’s stupid.)

No, I thought we’d just laugh and it would be a good shared memory and that would be it. Instead, my teacher got flustered and a bit embarrassed and explained the game was rigged. It was never about learning French at all. She’d just noticed some kids couldn’t afford even basic stationery, so she’d buy a few half-fancy items every month with her own money just for them. She didn’t want them to feel different or left out. And obviously the way she used to walk around in the classroom, looking over our shoulders - it wasn’t to prevent cheating. It was because she was cheating herself, wanting to see which number a particular child needed to get a Minnie Mouse pencil case.

Guys - the world is fucked up, but so many people out there are just good and kind and humbly heroic it honestly gives me hope. 

Shortly about the situation: The results of the elections were rigged by the incumbent President Lukashenko, although in fact the majority of votes were cast for the candidate Tikhanovskaya. As a result, the people took to the streets to achieve fair elections or real results.

The police there is literally going crazy now: they beat, maim and kill people who came out to peaceful protest. Moreover, they use stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets.

Many people are arrested or repressed by the government. What is more, due to the government order, all Internet and cellular is going to be banned in Minsk and close territories.

Police uses ambulance as the “Trojan Horse” for getting closer to protestors and then arresting them or smth.

If you do not live in Belarus (like me), you can help by sharing this information and tags #ЖывеБеларусь #Belarus #Minsk with others or donating in fundraising sources like the one below. This is the fond, which is raising money to help repressed Belarus people.

I’ll add more links once I get to know more information about other organisations.

URGENT PLEASE READ - QUEER WOMAN FACING HOMELESSNESS

Yesterday I got kicked out of my house by my homophobic family because someone close to me told them that I was queer. It’s really hurtful because I was betrayed by close friends and then rejected immediately by my family.

I came back and most of my stuff was still in the house except for a few pieces of clothes and personal items, they won’t let me back into the house and I’m scared of being assaulted. My friend offered to let me stay with them for a few days, but after that I’ll be effectively homeless with no money, food, or shelter.

I’m trying to figure out what to do and trying to contact as many people as I know who may let me stay with them, but I’m very scared and uncertain.

"This is OUR day now, and you will embrace change or die on the wrong side of history."

look how much fun they’re both having! yes!

“The most effective mask was the fitted N95. Three-layer surgical masks and cotton masks, which many people have been making at home, also performed well.
