Been listening to #UkrainianMetal since Feb last year. Only bands that are still active, as far as I know. Mostly #BlackMetal #DeathMetal #Thrash. But also some #Stoner #Doom #Grindcore etc. Tried to steer clear of the #Swastika #FarRight stuff. Anyway, this is my #Top61 in alphabetical order. Hope y'all #Metalheads can find something interesting in there. Also: which bands should be added to the list?

#UkrainianMetal 58. #Морок from #Dnipro is another band of #Severoth's (see #Bezmir #EndlessBattle above). The energy is similar to the excellent #Bezmir, but this is less #Space & #Voids, and more down-to-earth #Raw #OldSchoolBlackMetal. https://morokua.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-dungeons-of-mind

“Nearly half of Republicans say they would prefer “strong, unelected leaders” over “weak elected ones,” according to a September Axios-Ipsos poll, and around 55 percent of Republicans say defending the “traditional” way of life by force may soon become necessary. About 61 percent of Republicans don’t believe the results of the 2020 presidential election.” #Democracy https://www.wired.com/story/us-authoritarian-movement-future/?utm_source=mastodon

The GOP-fueled far right differs from similar movements around the globe, thanks to the country’s politics, electoral system, and changing demographics.

One of my biggest pet peeves as a woman is when people (almost always men, though,) are like, “Imagine if she were your mother/sister/daughter,” in response to something heinous happening to a stranger. Why do you need to frame a woman as someone you know in order to feel appalled at what happened to them? If they weren’t your daughter would you not care? They are human, that is all that matters.

And notice how we rarely, if ever, frame things like, “Imagine if he were your dad/brother/son”.
