URGENT: today in Russia, a terrible bill passed in the Russian parliament’s lower house that censors all things considered “gay”. It’s our local partners’ worst nightmare and we need your help. 

This vote comes off the back of two brutal anti-gay murders in Russia, and the trial of a major LGBT rights organisation today.

Tell world leaders to STOP the crackdown, add your name:

REALLY IMPORTANT

This really is happening, and it’s scary as hell.

“Update June 12: the situation is worsening. Russia has just passed a new anti-gay law makes it illegal even to say the word “gay”.  People in Russia standing up against the crackdown are urging All Out members to keep growing the petition to help draw the attention of world leaders and the media.”

spread this like the plague 

By a margin of 436 votes to nil, the Russian parliament voted on Tuesday to ban the distribution of information about homosexuality to children, preventing “the propaganda of non traditional sexual relations”.

Here Steve Rosenburg reports for BBC Newsnight on the vote and what it says about Russia today, and afterwards Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman discusses the move with Valeriya Perfilova, a Russian singer who was awarded the title of “honoured Artiste of Russia” by President Vladimir Putin, and Anton Krasovsky a former Russian TV presenter who “outed” himself on air and was subsequently sacked for doing so.

Tumblr Artist

Shannon Stamey aka October illustrations | on Tumblr (USA)

Born in a rural town outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, Shannon Stamey, the owner of October illustrations, was awed by his surroundings, explaining the heavy prevalence of celestial and natural bodies in his work. A morbid romantic, his pieces delight in a whimsical way, yet teeter into sardonity. Comforting in their often-nightmarish view, the works speak to children of all ages. Receiving no formal training, he has taught himself through the careful study of artists Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Maxfield Parrish, Arthur Rackham, Stephen Gammell, and the more contemporary visionary of Maurice Sendak, Tim Burton and Gris Grimly. A large portion of his work focuses on the charm of turn-of-the-pencils and oil on paper, an appreciation for a more antiquated time is seen not only in his subject, but also in the finish given to the work… done with decking and often times staining. Please visit  Shannon’s website or follow his Tumblr for more work.

June 13th, 1865

Birthday of Irish Poet/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn co-founder William Butler Yeats.

“I believe in the practice and philosophy of what we have agreed to call magic, in what I must call the evocation of spirits, though I do not know what they are, in the power of creating magical illusions, in the visions of truth in the depths of the mind when the eyes are closed; and I believe in three doctrines, which have, as I think, been handed down from early times, and been the foundations of nearly all magical practices. These doctrines are —

(1) That the borders of our minds are ever shifting, and that many minds can flow into one another, as it were, and create or reveal a single mind, a single energy.

(2) That the borders of our memories are as shifting, and that our memories are a part of one great memory, the memory of Nature herself.

(3) That this great mind and great memory can be evoked by symbols.”

—-Ideas of Good and Evil, p. 29

Theosophy

θεοσοφία – Theo Sophia – Divine Wisdom.

Refers to a system of esoteric philosophy largely concerned with the deconstruction of the natural and the plausibility of the supernatural in the world. Theosophy is considered a large part of the broader field of esotericism (literally the study of ‘hidden knowledge’), with theosophy being principally concerned with offering the individual enlightenment.

The word “Esotericism” dates back to 2CE. ἐσωτερικός (esôterikos) is a compound of the Greek “ἐσω” meaning ‘Within’ or ‘Mystic’.
