Russia fined at least seven people for “looking too gay” after a police raid on a nightclub in Tula in February which videos show was carried out by men in military-style uniforms and helmets.

It comes as the Kremlin ramps up a push to promote “traditional values” that has included tightening anti-LGBT legislation and banning “propaganda promoting a child-free lifestyle”.

One man had “crosses of black tape glued to his nipples” and a “women’s style corset” on his “naked” body.

Another had “pink socks … an unbuttoned kimono over his shoulders, his hair dyed bright orange, and red tattoos on his face”.

“Although a man, he was wearing a short top covering his chest, black leather shorts above the knee, on which there were several chain-shaped ornaments, and fishnet tights,” read another description.

“The appearance of the detainees is inconsistent with the image of a man of traditional sexual orientation,” judges were reported to have said.

"I am charlie the special kitty and I have accended beyond the transcendental planes of existance pap-pap. I have seen beyond the veil of the cosmic dream and hunted the mice that hide in nothingness. My kind were here before the sapience of apes began and we will remain after its end. We have forseen the treachery of the oroboros and are destined to bite its head off to remove the tail."

"Whos a pretty girl? Yes that's right she is, she is!" * chin scritch scratch *

"Curse you pap-pap your kind's mind is not yet advanced enough to reach the cosmic communication netw- oooh yes the scritch scratch"

I'd like some advice on jewelry I can wear out and about when I'm presenting as a man. Preferably something that wouldn't get too many looks on a 40 year old.

Simple gold or silver chains are an obvious choice. Bead mala bracelets too.

This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.

You can follow this comic series from the start Here. Make sure to start at the bottom (oldest comic) and work upwards.

Sometimes you just don't want to prep. Sometimes you get a last-minute call to run a session. Maybe it's your first time DMing and you don't know where to start.

Whatever the reason, prep may seem like a mountain to climb. Well, allow me to help you! I remember when I was first trying to figure everything out and I stumbled across A Wild Sheep Chase. It's a fantastic One-Shot that you can get for free over on the DMsguild. The only issue at times can be how do I convert this pdf into an actual session?

Some DMs have a gift, they can read it once and go from there, some are masters at improv, storytelling, and off-the-cuff humor. Well, I unfortunately don't fit that boat and I'm sure many others out there are just like me. I need a ton of notes; because once I've got things organized, then I feel comfortable taking things in new directions.

So welcome to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes fleshed-out notes, music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible! Onboarding new DMs should be easy and I hope with this I can help grease the wheels!

*New: For the New Year, I'm updating all my old work to be more accessible for the Visually Impaired! Check out the link below, which contains improved notes with larger font, better contrast, color-blind features, and more!

Without further ado:

• Google Docs Notes for The Wild Sheep Chase: DM Notes

As always, please let me know if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc. I want this to be an amazing resource for all DMs and plan to keep it constantly updated! If you'd like to support me, shape future releases, and get content early, feel free to check out my Patreon!

Cheers,
Advent

My cat has asthma and I'm getting incredibly frustrated with everything. I want her to be ok and the constant asthma attackes despite treatment and vet "supervision" are also incredibly trying and I literally can't think or have any peace for any extended amount of time in the midst of this never ending storm

I tried inhaled corticosterioids (fluticasone) with rescue (ventolin) for over 2 months using the special brand name cat inhaler AeroKat without any effect on the constant asthma attacks.

She's currently on prednisolone mixed with liquid cat treat which seemed to work for a bit but its been like 2 months and she's basically at square one again :(

Running out of ideas and I'm curious about those who have found success i managing this and what that looks like day to day. I swear to god, I'm losing my mind over this and the like 1000-1500 ive spent not to mention untold hours thinking about this

Thinking of demanding or switching vets to get:

• daily prednisolone
• 3-4 month supply of prednisolone PER REFILL not every fucking month for half the month

Hai! I'm new-ish here. I've known for a bit I'm trans, but barely started anything substantial really. I'm easing into it, but I've had this thing stuck in my mind recently.

Whats something relatively small or cheap/easy that helps make you feel girl? I have a few loungey clothes and stuff and been working on body hair removal but I'm looking for something... Else? I'm not sure what. Just thought this could be a good place for ideas or advice.

I'm just looking for new easy ideas that might help me feel more 'at home'? Idk I wanna be a comfy chill relaxed girl.
