The Russian Civil War was one of the bloodiest episodes in modern history. Millions of people died. The near exclusive focus on the five Romanov children over, say, the far greater number of children killed in antisemitic pogroms makes this moral appeal ring hollow.

I love that every Amazon worker testifying in favor of Seattle's data center moratorium starts by saying they are grateful that it is illegal for their employer to retaliate against them for their public comment
I do think men's fashion is limiting itself heavily by avoiding stuff it deems as femenine like a plague, i think having shit like slippers and skirts/dresses would drastically make men's fashion a lot more interesting cause men absolutely did wear both those things back then
