If you have queer friends in Russia, do not try to contact them to ask if they’re ok.
Russia has an insidious history of monitoring online communications of its citizens, especially political dissidents, and even though Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook/etc. are owned by American companies, they have to travel through Russian servers to get to your friend, which could get them in a lot of trouble.
If you want to help, I recommend donating to RUSA LGBT, a nonprofit that works to provide sanctuary to queer folks in Russia and Central Asia.
Thank you @tessacrowley for this important information.
(x) from the russian lgbt network’s facebook page. if you’re gonna spread the donation link PLEASE spread this too. they’re saying they already have the necessary resources to evacuate people, but what they really need is this information to reach those who need to see it. direct messaging people is risky, and can put those in need of help and those ready to help in danger. by spreading this publicly we increase the odds of it being seen safely by the people who need to know about this.
Pro hockey player and former NHLer Paul Bissonnette is taking aim at transphobia by cutting ties with a “hockey lifestyle clothing” company after it made a pretty unbelievable misstep on Twitter. According to sources, Sauce Hockey on Monday tweeted something that referred to Pittsburgh Penguin Sidney Crosby as transgender and trying to get into a locker room. Lovely.
Guys who make fun of guys who do ballet must not realise how disciplined, agile, coordinated and strong you have to be to be a ballet dancer.
Guys who make fun of ballet are stupid.
my legs hurt now
Also, ballet men have literally the most aesthetically pleasing body out of any other group of men I have ever encountered. And then can lift you over their heads!
Always wanted to try out. Martial arts game would def improve from it.
YO BUT OK i am a female ballet dancer and there are guys in my studio younger than me and by younger than me i mean like 12 or occasionally 11 because i am 13 and they can still lift me up and they dont even flinch they just pick me up like im a lil fairy its so impressive and they are 12 they are so great
Redefine masculinity
More like REFINED masculinity
thank you finally a post about male ballet dancers!! they’re so under-appreciated in the outside world, and no one understands how hard it is for them
male ballet dancers are so graceful and masculine …. normalize and increase the number of male ballet dancers…..
My dad tried to make an anti muslim argument saying basically that hijabis can’t be included in parts not originally written out for a hijabi. But I think, why not? Rock your hijab girl. Reblog to prove his ass wrong!
