Я застряла на долгой встрече, поэтому я набросала эту милую маленькую мечеть.
Sweden and Norway should reunify just to use this flag:
Americans:"Europeans don't even install air conditioners! 🤣 How do the dumb MFers expect to survive global warming? lol" The Americans' own National Renewable Energy Laboratory:
Dear straight followers: I am quite gay, but you are a huge part of who I write for--as fellow women, fellow Russians, fellow North Americans, fellow (anxious) climate watchers, fellow believers, fellow help-thou-my-unbeliefers. It would be easy to pigeon-hole me, but you don't. Thank you. 💜
Kazakhstan has, over the past thirty years, been a master class in building a national brand as a hip, tradition-rich yet forward-looking hub of contemporary Eurasian culture, and still--NOTHING could advertise Kazakhstan better than this.
«Розалия Грейс красива, как распустившийся бутон персиковой розы в саду Монако.» Gemini также включает дополнительные предложения, в том случае «если вы пишете фанфик». Сейчас я должна спросить — почему многие из вас не пишут фанфики обо мне?
It warms the cockles of my cynical, reactionary heart to realize that the acronym for the Society for Utopian Studies is "SUS".
Me, diaspora-born with a head full of Soviet history and chronic insecurities about being Russian enough, being censored by the Russian state (2/2):
Normal, well-adjusted, Russian-born writers being censored by the Russian state (1/2):

Parents: "I don't want my kids to become screen addicts. That's why I bring them to the library and make them read books." Children's authors and publishers: *change passages where a glamourized protagonist plays a sport to have him play video games instead*
Flooding a country with settlers who overthrow its government and then systematically gentrifying the place until more than half the native population can't afford to live there anymore should be considered a form of ethnic cleansing.
May 24 is celebrated in Russia & other Slavic lands as the day of our Cyrillic script & the beautiful literatures it has birthed. I keep my many-times-great-grandfather, St. Boris, in my office as a patron for my work because he provided shelter & resources for Sts. Naum & Kliment to finish theirs.

#интерактив капча: Исходя из моей внешности, каким бы я была персонажем из Genshin Impact? Сделай плакат обязательно с подходящим оружем и индивидуальными характеристиками персонажа. Арт должен выглядеть в стиле игры Genshin Impact. (Считаю, что оно использовало все данный с моего сайта.)
Fun fact: Much as described here for Vietnam, Russians also build altars in their homes for venerating ancestors. We simply--in good Russian fashion--have a single, officially sanctioned list of collectivized national ancestors.
Though Americans associate it with military parades on Red Square, I remind you once again that May Day started in the US. In 1926, Soviet poets N. Aseev & V. Mayakovsky co-wrote "The First First of May". Its opening words? "In America, forty years ago, when Russia had not yet been enlightened..."
A *babushka*!? *Babushka*!? Дай Бог мне так выглядеть, когда стану бабушкой!
Тот факт, что это *неироничный* пост в ТГ от знаменитого литературного журнала (Москва), пугает.
My fiancée used to do Harley Quinn cosplay. When we were first dating, I expressed some dismay at our frequent separations, and she made me this adorable bunny to be her proxy when we were apart.
