@atompunkray @julieofthespirits I sincerely appreciate hearing that my story made an impact on you.

From Ukrainian Antifa, earlier today:
─────
Our sincere condolences to his family, friends & comrades 🌹

Şehîd namirin!
─────

The "Şehîd namirin" (Kurmançi, a Kurdish language, "martyrs are immortal") comes from the Kurdish freedom movement, closely tied to the antifascist forces in Ukraine sharing many volunteers and goals with the "Rojava Revolution" in North and East Syria, also known as "The Women's Revolution".

They then linked to an Instagram-post for further information, but I don't do Instagram, because it is Facebook so 100% boycott.

And all those who shall pass,
oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
and all those who shall pass
will tell me "what a beautiful flower."

This is the flower of the partisan,
oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
this is the flower of the partisan
who died for freedom

I am a member of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (BOAK), and I will still remain this after my death. The BOAK is our brainchild, born of our faith in an organized struggle. We managed to carry it on different sides of state borders.

I tried my best to contribute to the victory over dictatorship and to bring the social revolution closer. And I am proud of my comrades who fought and fight in Russia and beyond.

As an anarchist, revolutionary and Russian, I found it necessary to take part in the armed resistance of the Ukrainian people against Putin's occupiers. I did this for justice, for defense of the Ukrainian society and for liberation of my country, Russia, from oppression. For the sake of all the people who are deprived of their dignity and the opportunity to breathe freely by the vile totalitarian system created in Russia and Belarus.

Another important sense to participate in this war is to approve internationalism by example. In the days when the deadly imperialism awakes, as a response, a wave of nationalism and contempt for Russians, I argue by word and deed: there are no "bad peoples". All peoples have the same grief – greedy and power-hungry rulers.

It was not just my individual decision and step. It was a continuation of our collective strategy aimed at creating sustainable structures and guerrilla combat confrontation with the tyrannical regimes of our region.

My dear friends, comrades and relatives, I apologize to all those I hurt with my leaving. I appreciate your warmth very much. However, I firmly believe that the struggle for justice, against oppression and injustice is one of the most worthy meanings that humans can fill their life with. And this struggle requires sacrifices, up to the complete self-sacrifice.

The best memory for me is if you continue actively struggle, overcoming personal ambitions and unnecessary harmful strife. If you continue to fight actively to achieve a free society based on equality and solidarity. For you and for me and for all our comrades. Risk, deprivation and sacrifice on this path are our constant companions. But be sure – they are not in vain.

I hug you all.

Your Ilya Leshy, "Seva", "Lev", Fil Kuznetsov,
Dmitry Petrov

Is it a coincidence that I’ve had more followers in a shorter period of time since posting tits? Maybe.

Will I do it again? Probably.

Just wish there were a club where Steven Crowder, Glinner, Ye, and Elon and all the other unloveable chodes just sat around and talked about how they're actually doing very well after their divorce, they've never been happier actually.

I will give Donald Trump advice for free. When you debate Ron DeSantis, please pull some meatballs out of your pocket and eat them with your bare hands, keeping aggressive eye contact the entire time.

It's been a rough day and maybe I'm reading too much into this but I made dinner for my husband and me tonight. I wanted to use up some fryer oil before we got an air fryer so I attempted some Nashville hot chicken. It was the plan prior to the DOJ suing Nashville but it made it all the more fitting afterwards.

Anyway, turns out I don't have cayenne and my garlic powder is expired. I sort of had to scramble and instead I used a bunch of middle eastern spices. It reminded me of somewhat less scary time when I'd go to Baraka Market every week to get some kebab and groceries.

Anyway, it didn't turn out like I planned. The chipotle hot sauce gave it a different flavor and mixed with the 7 spice, it was pleasant, low and smokey.

It made me think a lot about my heritage in a funny way. Of transforming identities. Of my own transformation.

Anyway, I fucked up cooking and made something better and I'm stone enough that it's giving me thoughts.

@QueerSatanic I think it's because Trump is the first person to lean into the conspiracism overtly rather than stoke it for his own benefit but keep it at arms length for the sake of electability.

By speaking to the paranoid, racist, conspiratorial style of right wing politics directly and embracing it, Trump is the candidate that most embodies and actually represents his voters.

@QueerSatanic Like, I'm not happy about where we are and what options exist through the "legitimate" political system, but me being upset about the lesser evil running instead of the slightly lesser evil isn't going to do anything to meaningfully affect anyone. How much something is needed doesn't usually correlate with whether it exists or not.

I may never be able to define "what is a woman" to Matt Walsh's liking, but I do know a little bitch when I see one.

Twitter is just DemSocs malding that Bernie won’t do a protest run because he doesn’t want DeSantis or Trump to be president and, gosh is it fucking tiresome. Like, no one likes Biden but don’t sit there with a straight face and tell me you think Marianne Williamson has a chance.
