Capitalism and its allies (racism, queerphobia, ableism, and patriarchy, just to name a few) have turned what aught to be a time of rest and celebration at years end into the mess we know as “Christmastime”. These systems of abuse and exploitation that we struggle against are in fact so deeply embedded into the “traditions” surrounding Christmas that their removal would render this so-called “holiday” totally unrecognizable. Without the atomization, the abuse of laborers and the gross consumerism fueled by the violence of empire… what would be left of what was once called Christmas?
The true War on Christmas lies not in saying “seasons greetings” or “holiday tree” but in the battles we wage for the liberation of all mankind.
Happy holidays comrades, a better world is possible.
The image (which is tight as hell) is a commemorative poster by Vladimir Menshikov depicting Ded Moroz, a Russian/eastern slavic cultural figure similar to Santa Claus, as a partisan in the Great Patriotic War. The poem in the bottom left (roughly) translates to:
We have settled our score with the invaders: To the executioners who barely survived, Our partisan raids, fierce and relentless, Still haunt their dreams at night.

How to hide hormone shit from family? The danger of them finding out is like the main reason i havent started diy yet (well, also that im a stupid fuh wholl 2nd guess herself every turn without a handholding guide
but i can probably overcome that problem). I can maybe ask some other ppl ik to store it at their places but i want other ideas cuz idk if thatd work 
You only gotta do it once a week. I just put everything into a drawer with a lock and then locked it. You can dispose of supplies whenever you’re alone, just be sure to do it appropriately.
None of it is that big tbh, could easily be hidden in a shoebox under your bed or probably in your drawers or something. I have 2 years of stuff and its probably a shoebox worth even with a sharps container for needles. If you got maybe like 6months-a year of needles maybe it could fit in a stuffed animal? Its temp sensitive enough I wouldn’t put it in my pc case though. Could fit in a drawstring bag in the bottom/back of a closet too.
Injections are usually every week/10 days, if none of that works out there’s also an ester (Undecylate) that’s done monthly. Its a bit trickier to dose from what I’ve heard but if you couldn’t make the other options work that’s something you could do too.
That was a problem for me too if you need help feel free to DM me.
You don’t need much in the way of supplies for HRT. Bare minimum is a syringe and a vial. I keep mine in a little pouch in a drawer.
You cold easily hide the supplies in a little box, if you go with injections you can then take the box with the vial and tools somewhere you know is private and safe to do an injection at, otherwise keep it in a hidden spot. Once you get good at it you can do the whole procedure real quick there’s little chances of being found out.
