  How’s life for you besides internet censorship, if you don’t mind me asking. I’m just curious. Good luck out there!

    Thank you.

    For me, it’s edging on absurdity and feeling like I’m the one who feel like we are going insane, but luckily for me I found my close knit circle of friends who share that feeling and I myself adapted to see everything through some lense of satire. Even though I live in it.

    What still hurts tho is how my relatives and people around are so uninformed and hostile to everything ukrainian or just european, even if they talk about relatives there, and then they are just like ‘why they don’t like us’ lol. Yeah, like, no reason. And then they order IKEA-like furniture for their flats because it’s of european quality!

    My sanity is saved by my partner, my friends and my still intact trust in people, even if they are dumb af.

      Same here. Only instead of partner and family, it’s the internet. They’re mad, too. It really feels like you are the only one sane in the whole world, and people on the internet don’t even feel real, like they come from a fantasy. And i get the racism, too :/ But for us it’s towards Jews. Apparently the YAHOOD changed some musical cord to mind control the whole world, according to my old substitute teacher, in a completely unrelated rant.

      Stay safe, and i hope you can get out happily.

        My parents just remembered than some decades ago some ukrainianes wronged them, so there is a long vile pattern of wrongdoings against russian (and we aren’t really russian lel).

        Stay safe as well. And remember: We weirdos aren’t alone as we have each other.

      Stay safe out there

      Any interest in Briar? I never had a use for it in the US but it is very powerful in the sense that it is designed to be highly resistant to state attacks. It works with or without access to the public internet.
