not to talk about doctor who but remember being a lonely depressed teenager and hearing him say ‘900 years of time and space and i’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important’
he was like ‘just this once-everybody lives’ and i chased that shit with homosexual determination for every day since, like maybe through pure force of will i could save everyone i loved from a system that wanted us dead
💡 HISTORY: Did you know Russia invaded & occupied every single country to become part of the Soviet Union? Those are the “former Soviet Republics,” including Ukraine, Estonia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan.
In the aftermath of the 1917 February revolution against the Russian Czar, the Russian Empire collapsed and all these countries, as well as Finland, took the opportunity to declare independence. But when the new democratic Russian government was overthrown by the communists in the 1917 Bolshevik October revolution and subsequent bloody civil war of 1918-1921, the communist regime then proceeded to reinvade all these countries (minus Baltic states and Finland) and by 1922 recreated the Russian Empire under a new name - the Soviet Union. When Stalin & Hitler started the Second World War as allies in September 1939, the Soviet empire promptly invaded Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania and Finland, forcing the Baltic states into the Soviet Union and annexing huge chunks of Poland, Finland and Romania.
So, Russia has already invaded Europe to build an empire twice in recent history. And now Russia wants to do it for the third time, but decades after the empire collapsed yet again in 1989-1991.
kimiko glenn posted her residuals from orange is the new black (she played brooke soso!) on tiktok and it’s disturbing to actually have a visual of how little she makes for one of the first defining shows of the streaming era
she also went on to say that many of the people on the show had to work second jobs, and added further perspective by adding that they couldn’t go out in public because they were famous but still making very little.
