MOSCOW #REFINERY: MASS REPLACEMENT BY FOREIGNERS Vlog 1252: War in #Ukraine

Official figures are classified by the #Kremlin, but #Moscow cannot hide the fact that thousands of Russian men are no longer showing up to work. Hundreds of #Indian, #Vietnamese, #Afghan, and #CentralAsian men in a endless queue for jobs that used to be done by local Russians.

#ScribesAndMakers what makes your work unique?

Tagging my girl @ljwrites for this b/c like her, I don't think I write completely unique things, but it can come off as unique to the modern reader.

I also write #historicalfiction, but even my #sff employs the same philogical methodology that #Tolkien does. For example, my MC in my vampire novel does not fully understand the language of the world she's in.

I also base a lot of my worlds on medieval #Arab #CentralAsian and #Chinese societies.

Stand with #Ukraine

However, this conclusion seems optimistic, just from the two excerpts below from the piece itself.

#russia is a cynical hardball player who - quite likely - would take chaos in #Armenia over a hostile govt there. If only to send a signal - the #CentralAsian|s are watching.

The #russian language in #Turkmenistan still has several strongholds within officialdom and the population - though less than in other #CentralAsian states - in a context of lukewarm promotion by the authorities, @chrisrickleton writes.

#Germany’s new #selfidentification #law is huge #progress but #advocates have noticed some #issues.

While the #bill has been heralded as a major #stepforward, #European and #CentralAsian #trans #rights #organization #TGEU has highlighted “concerning points” in the #legislation. The organization published a full list of #requested #changes on their #website.
